What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ford rejected the allegations, arguing that Ottawa's actions were a response to Washington's trade measures rather than an attempt to interfere in US elections.
Joly pushed back against Hoekstra's previous comments, telling reporters last week that Canada would never engage in election interference and would "never accept that also being done to us in Canada."
Hoekstra said during an interview on The Really Big Show podcast last week that he was "monitoring" for signs of Canada trying to meddle in the U.S. midterms.
Carney’s comments come as relations remain strained over trade and US President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to annex Canada.
