Canada reportedly told its US-based diplomats to avoid midterm candidates
Canada has reportedly instructed its diplomats in the United States to avoid contact and appearances with candidates before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, as Washington accuses Ottawa of trying to interfere. Global Affairs Canada called such guidance routine during election periods.
Canada has instructed its diplomats serving in the United States to avoid contact and public appearances with candidates ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, according to reports. The guidance was reportedly issued to head off accusations from Washington that Ottawa is trying to interfere in the vote.
A spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada said it is routine practice for officials to be told to limit public events and communications in the countries where they serve during election periods.
The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa has accused the Canadian government of attempting to interfere in the midterms. A briefing note from the embassy alleged that Canadian officials had dismissed concerns about possible election interference, and that ministers and provincial premiers had laid out plans to influence U.S. politics in official documents and at public events.
Relations between the two neighbors have grown strained during President Donald Trump's second term, driven largely by tariffs and trade policy, as well as Trump's repeated remarks about making Canada the 51st state.
