Canadian politicians and experts dispute U.S. ambassador's anti-Americanism claims

Canadian politicians and experts are pushing back against U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra's claims of anti-American sentiment in Canada. They argue that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Trump have understandably led to negative reactions in Canada, with some calling Hoekstra's comments "gaslighting." Hoekstra expressed disappointment over perceived anti-American sentiment, while Canadian officials and commentators suggest his rhetoric is counterproductive to bilateral relations.
