"I see provinces and Team Canada both ramping up their efforts," said Laura Dawson, an expert on Canada-U.S. relations and the executive director of the Future Borders Coalition.
Dawson said federal-level representatives are going to their American counterparts with topline statements about how"we build things together." Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, accompanied by former premier and former Canadian ambassador to the United States Gary Doer, recently travelled to Washington, D.C., and New York City.Top of mind for Canadians shaking hands with American counterparts is the looming review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement in 2026. Both presidential candidates are selling protectionist policies that could cause uncertainty for Canadian trade.
Kinew said his team wants to ensure it's understood that trade with Manitoba is good for the U.S. and its citizens. "The quality of life of people who live in Alberta is obviously very directly linked to policy decisions here and the trading relationship we have," Rajotte said. "On a lot of trade issues, the Trump administration and the Biden administration are not really that far apart," he said.
