Washington tries to maintain B.C. ties amid Trump era tensions [View all]
When Washington Lt. Gov. Denny Heck arrived in British Columbia last week, he wondered how he’d be received.
After all, the past few months have seen the usually strong relationship between Canada and the United States upended. Since January, President Donald Trump has played tariff politics with the allies north of the border and repeatedly expressed interest in annexing Canada as the “51st state.”
Heck and the Washington delegation brought a simple message: “We love Canada.”
Canadian legislators from both parties welcomed the envoy in Victoria and emphasized that they remain in step with Washington state.
