The Canadian ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, is resigning early next year, prompting speculation about her successor, likely Mark Wiseman, a financier with no diplomatic experience. Hillman, who played a crucial role in renegotiating the CUSMA and securing the release of detained Canadians in China, has been praised as a national hero. Analysts express concern over the timing of the transition amid ongoing trade tensions, questioning Wiseman’s suitability given his past critiques of supply management. The change may signal a diplomatic reset, but experts doubt it will significantly impact U.S.-Canada relations.
