The possible democratic presidential candidate of the United States, Pete Buttigieg, says he did not imagine a “moment like this” between Canada and the United States and “ultra -orjes” addressed to Canada and that the Canadian government does not reflect the will of the American people.
Buttigieg was the main speaker at a dinner organized by Canada 2020 in Ottawa on Monday night. Canada 2020 describes itself as “the group of independent and progressive experts of Canada” and has former students, including former president of the Advisory Board, Mark Carney.
To that end, the cabinet ministers, the old liberals of high profile filled a dance hall at the Westin Ottawa to listen to the talk by the fire of former Canadian cabinet minister, Seamus O’Regan, with Buttigieg.
“I did not imagine that we would be at a time like this,” said Buttigieg, describing the current state of relations between the United States and Canada, inflamed by rates and repeated statements of the president of the United States, Donald Trump that Canada would be a good state 51.
“The first thing I mean is: ‘I understand it. And most of us understand it.'”
He said that his goal is to “pierce” the idea that the current president and the “outrages” of the current government speak of the will of all Americans.
His comments are in marked contrast to the facts by the American ambassador Pete Hoekstra, who said last week that he was “disappointed” with the anti -American feeling in Canada.
“I am disappointed to have come to Canada, a Canada that it is very difficult to find Canadians passionate about the US-Canadian relationship,” Hoekstra said in an event organized by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce.
Arrives at a time when Canadians are taking a Great step back from the United States.
Buttigieg, a declared critic of Trump who often appears in Fox News television programs in Fox, said the president has caused a tension between the two countries, but believes that the relationship will last.
“What is happening between us is a storm that has been caused by what a government is doing, instead of something that questions the foundations of our relationship, which is among peoples, not just governments.”

“In a way, that did not make us feel alienated by Canada,” he said. “For us, () he did not indicate another step in the direction of the rupture, but rather the difficult type of realignment that occurs with real friends.”

During the talk by the fire, O’Regan made reference to the recent book of the 2024 Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, in which he reveals that he considered Buttigieg as a formula partner, but worried that the ticket, who would present a married black woman with a Jew, would assume a “great risk” by adding a gay man.
