Former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman has been working to drive up voting from Americans abroad to prevent a second Donald Trump presidency, which he says will hurt Canada.

Another key demographic is Republican women, who Harris has been appealing to by pointing to Trump’s rhetoric and his role in the fall of Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling has led to several states adopting strict restrictions that have stripped women’s access to reproductive health care.
Like many officials and analysts in Canada, Heyman is worried about the impact a second Trump presidency may have on Canada and the world stage.Trump has promised blanket tariffs on foreign imports, mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, and a transactional approach to alliances like NATO, which has already put Canada under pressure for not meeting its target of spending at least two per cent of GDP on defence.
Trump has also not committed to continuing with U.S. military and financial aid for Ukraine in its war against Russia’s invasion. Canada may have to step up “significantly” along with Europe to try and fill that gap, Heyman added.Story continues below advertisement
