The U.S. is heading for a momentous vote. Canada's ambassador says we have to be ready

U.S. President Donald Trump, left, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talk prior to a NATO round table meeting at The Grove hotel and resort in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019. As NATO leaders meet and show that the world's biggest security alliance is adapting to modern threats, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is refusing to concede that the future of the 29-member alliance is under a cloud.

Canada's ambassador to the United States says Ottawa must start putting in the work now to reinvigorate a network of contacts across our southern neighbour, so this country can be ready no matter the outcome of the November presidential election.

Quebec and the U.S. both want the Trudeau government to reverse changes that have made it easier for Mexicans to come to Canada, and the public safety minister says that option is on the table. However, some experts warn a visa restriction would only make seeking asylum riskier, rather than stopping people from coming.
