A Calgary woman leading a petition to expel U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra from Canada is amazed by the overwhelming support it has received, surpassing 100,000 signatures. The petition accuses Hoekstra of jeopardizing Canada-U.S. relations by echoing Trump’s views and interfering in Canadian politics. It calls for his removal and a review of U.S. diplomatic interference. Hoekstra’s controversial statements and actions, including suggesting Canada’s annexation by the U.S., have sparked criticism and concern among Canadians. The petition, backed by Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, aims to uphold Canada’s sovereignty and values. Despite uncertainties about the petition’s outcome, its supporters emphasize the importance of standing up against inappropriate behavior from foreign diplomats.
