U.S. embassy accuses Canadian politicians of interfering in American elections
The U.S. embassy in Canada has released a list of quotes from Canadian politicians which it says indicate "plans to influence American politics."
Industry Minister Melanie Joly is quoted five times in the list the embassy released today.
It includes context-free quotes from Joly about pressuring American businesses and targeting U.S. states, which addressed Canada's response to American-imposed tariffs.
In a news conference on Parliament Hill today, Prime Minister Mark Carney didn't directly address the accusations but pointed out that the United States initiated trade actions against Canada.
He said everything Canada has done since has been in the interests of Canadian workers and families.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who is also quoted in the U.S. embassy document, said he has no interest in interfering in American elections.

RCMP raids Lion Electric headquarters in connection with investment fraud case
The RCMP says it raided electric bus maker Lion Electric's headquarters north of Montreal on Wednesday morning in connection with an investment fraud case.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Martina Pillarova says dozens of officers are scouring the premises in Saint-Jérôme, Que., in a search that could last several days, but that no charges or arrests are expected at the moment.
She says police received complaints from more than a hundred investors and launched an investigation in February 2025.
Pillarova says the operation relates to the company's past activities, with no connection to its new owner.
Quebec's financial regulator said last week it was imposing a $1.1-million penalty on Claude Roy, an investor with ties to Lion, after he admitted to selling company shares in the six weeks before it went into bankruptcy protection in December 2024, avoiding nearly $800,000 in losses.
Lion began to churn out hundreds of electric school buses per year as well as some battery-powered trucks after going public in 2021, but it struggled to scale up further and wound up selling in 2025 for a fraction of its former value, with the Quebec government losing its $140-million investment.
