The U.S. ambassador to Canada delivered an expletive-laced tirade at Ontario's trade representative at an event in Ottawa on Monday, multiple witnesses tell CBC News.
Word spread quickly through some of the most powerful circles in Ottawa and Washington after the encounter, which happened during the Canadian American Business Council’s state of the relationship event at the National Gallery of Canada.
Typically, the high-profile gathering is used to network and celebrate the Canada-U.S. relationship. It draws a mix of cabinet ministers, diplomats and business leaders. Monday night's event drew Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade.
Witnesses say they saw U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra launch into an expletive-laden tirade at Ontario’s trade representative, David Paterson.
One witness said Hoekstra appeared to be upset about the anti-tariff ad that the province recently ran on television in the U.S., which has infuriated President Donald Trump. The witness said Hoesktra could be heard using the F-word and also mentioned Ontario Premier Doug Ford by name.

Maybe it’s time to declare someone persona non grata.
Hey now, don’t you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. You just put my name on Altair’s reply.
He‘s so sensitive and emotional. Does he really have the temperament for that kind of important government job? Maybe he should smile more.Modern diplomatic language

North Americans are too free with that word. I don't need to be friends or allies or associates to do business. Aquaintance is fine.
Nor does everybody have to qualify for the same MSRP discount. Favouritism is allowed, as in the concept of "Most Favoured Nation".

Well, this is going to get interesting.
“Pete, you gotta call Dave up and apologize, it’s simple,” Ford said Wednesday during a Toronto news conference on an unrelated issue. “You know, the cheese slipped off the cracker. I get it. You’re ticked off, but call the guy up because you’re a good guy, and Dave’s my champion.”
The U.S. embassy in Ottawa declined to comment on Wednesday.

I read the article and I think Dougie was spot on again.
Trade discussions 'will get easier' for Canada in 2026: David Frum
Former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, David Frum, says Canada will do better in U.S. trade talks next year as Americans' view of U.S. President Donald Trump 'weakens.' Frum tells Power & Politics that Trump is feeling 'political tides pushing very fast against him on the trade issue.

When you check out his bio on Wikipedia it shows he really doesn’t have the personality or character for this job. He got himself into trouble in Holland with his big mouth just like he is doing here.

Here, a decent explanation of Trump's appeals for his convictions in NY state. The "34 count felon" narrative is institutional psychosis in action. Anyone reading the details of this fine example of lawfare ought to come to the conclusion this should never happen to anyone. These cases will be tossed with vigor into the trash heap of abuse of authority and election interference (and hopefully those involved heavily sanctioned).

This is an example (and there are plenty) of why Trump gets the support he has (if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you).

Donald Trump Claims, 'I Don't Like Good-Looking People'
President Donald Trump may have unintentionally dished out a bit of shade to anyone he's called a friend ... he just claimed he's never been fond of attractive people.
Makes sense why he wasn't a fan of JT.
