美国驻加拿大大使馆周三发布事实清单，指控加拿大政府"对美国选举的潜在干预漠不关心"，声称加拿大部长和省长"公开在官方文件和公开场合中描述影响美国政治的计划"1。这一指控反映出两国因关税和贸易争端而日益紧张的双边关系。加拿大工业部长梅兰妮·乔利针对关税问题表示，"这正是我为什么要会见这么多州长和潜在总统候选人"1，而安大略省省长道格·福特则推动加拿大联邦政府对"政治上重要的州"采取额外报复性关税1。
加拿大领导人对美国的指控予以否认。加拿大总理卡尼宣布了近C$9亿元（6.2亿美元）的援助方案以应对美国关税1，表示加拿大采取的行动是贸易报复措施，旨在保护本国利益。美国大使皮特·霍克斯特拉上周警告称美国官员在"密切关注"加拿大政治人物是否存在选举干预迹象1。此番言论引发加拿大国内不满，要求霍克斯特拉下台的请愿书已获得超过280,000个签名1。
The US Embassy in Canada released a factual list on Wednesday alleging that the Canadian government showed "indifference to potential interference in US elections," with Canadian ministers and provincial leaders "publicly describing in official documents and public forums plans to influence American politics."1 The accusation has intensified tensions between the two countries amid an ongoing trade dispute centered on tariffs.
Canadian officials have rejected the allegations, framing their actions as trade retaliation measures to protect national interests. Canada's Industrial Minister Melanie Joly stated in response to tariff concerns: "This is exactly why I've been meeting with so many governors and potential presidential candidates."1 Ontario Premier Doug Ford has pushed the federal government to impose additional retaliatory tariffs on "politically important states."1 Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced nearly C$9 billion (USD $6.2 billion) in aid measures to counter US tariffs.1
The diplomatic row has also sparked public backlash in Canada, with a petition calling for the resignation of US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra garnering more than 280,000 signatures.1 The ambassador had previously warned that US officials were "closely watching" Canadian political figures for signs of electoral interference.1
