ISTANBUL/OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Mark Carney said he is “disappointed” in ongoing allegations from U. S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, who is accusing Canadian politicians of interfering in the upcoming U. S. midterm elections. “There is no merit to these claims, so I’ll call it out that way,” Carney said while speaking to reporters in Istanbul on Friday. “I’m disappointed that their envoy sees that it’s his role to make these suggestions.”Carney added that Canada is “very careful” to make sure the country “not be seen to” interfere and referenced Canada’s “deep diplomatic presence” in the United States. Earlier this month, Hoekstra warned Canadian leaders to stay out of American politics while speaking to “The Really Big Show” podcast and accused several Canadian politicians, including Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, of meddling in close U. S. midterm races. The U. S. Embassy to Canada, meanwhile, released a fact sheet this week outlining alleged instances of foreign interference in 2025 and 2026, pointing to Joly along with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Liberal MP Anthony Housefather.
