Kamala Harris lived in Montreal and attended school there for 5 years in the late seventies. And her Canadian connection was pretty well hidden at the recent Democratic National Convention. …As a US senator during the Trump years Harris, had voted against the renewed NAFTA (USMCA), in part because she felt it had failed to sufficiently address climate change.

But while current polling slightly favours Harris, Mr. Trudeau’s party is polling in the toilet. …The Biden/ Harris government has recently nearly doubled import duties on Canadian softwood lumber exports into the US. A president Harris is unlikely to backtrack on that decision. …In the end it would be naive to think that a president Harris would show a ‘soft spot’ for Canada.
