Canada Latest News,Canada Headlines

It's been a running gag ever since she launched her bid to become president of the United States: Amy Klobuchar knows how to handle a Canadian winter.

Not long after the Minnesota senator's blizzard-bound campaign debut last year, a group of former U.S. and Canadian ambassadors gathered in Washington -- a city famous for running and hiding from the white stuff -- to discuss, among other things, their preferred nominee.

Bruce Heyman, who might never have been confirmed in the Senate as Barack Obama's Ottawa emissary without her help, calls Klobuchar the best hope for both the Democrats and the country. For Giffin, it all comes down to that re-election embassy bash, which featured congressional movers and shakers from both sides of the aisle.

Heyman credits Klobuchar -- "nobody knows the Canada-U.S. file better who's running for president," he says -- with breaking through a partisan deadlock on Capitol Hill and getting him confirmed by the Senate in 2014. During a subsequent gathering in Ottawa, he saw her bilateral bona-fides up close. North of the border, she's still a stranger, a new online survey from the Angus Reid Institute suggests.

"I don't have the biggest name up on this stage, I don't have the biggest bank account ... but I have a record of fighting for people," she said. "I'm asking you to believe that someone who totally believes in America can win this, because if you are tired of the extremes in our politics and the noise and the nonsense, you have a home with me."

Fake news

Wealthy insider Canada. not the Rednecks with guns and oil Canada.

And I bet she knows more about Canada then stoned Trudeau or Freeland the freeloader

Mexico not so much...

Nice to know...most Americans no thing about us....maybe that’s because we are low-key and don’t have to toot our horn every minute of every day....just saying. ❤️🇨🇦

No one would ever know as she just smiles and hopes that will win-Lefts don’t answer questions they just bash those that do and deflect when they have their turn to answer

ctv is no better than cbc. “ insiders say...”? I guess we shouldn’t except too much from a network that employs Evan the boneless.

I know, she can see the socialist North from her kitchen window.

I can’t put my finger on it...

And the least about how to run America.

No. We want Bernie.

Who cares

Who cares, really who.cares.

Bernie knows Canada pays 1/2 on health of what the US does

Apparently doesn’t care much about Mexico

Who? Trump would eat her up!

Then tell us what you think our single-payer healthcare system and explain why you don't want that for your own country.

That's all well and good, but she's not going to be the nominee so it doesn't matter.

Which probably means, she can find it in a map

So you just published an article on word of mouth. Canadian mainstream journalism is worse than the American ones

What because Minnesota borders is? Remember when Palin said she knew the most about Russia because it's close to Alaska?

Yeah, bullshit. She wasn't able to name the Mexican president. Stop treating her as a credible candidate.

that's the news!

She looks north at a Socialist Global leader and does not support most radical views of Sanders. Yet quibbles in debate with the mayor of S. Bend. Canada, has not approved USMCA. Canada a failing economy, running in principal to many failing European countries. Let it snow.

Seriously? But she couldn’t name the President of Mexico 🇲🇽

in a few weeks no one will know Amy Klobuchar

She can find Canada on a map?

🎃🎃🎃

Pathetic

That confirms it, sorry Bernie. I'm on the Klobutrain now

Least about Mexico though.

I think most Americans know little to nothing about Canada. They'll say it's cold. That's about it.
