> Industry Minister Mélanie Joly denied allegations that Canada is trying to influence the US midterm elections. The US Embassy cited Ontario’s anti-tariff ad and Joly’s remarks about targeting counter-tariffs at politically sensitive states as examples of “potential interference.” Critics say defending Canada’s trade interests is not election meddling.
