U.S. midterm results spark joy among Canadians but trust in America remains shaky
Canadians hope the Democratic gains ease trade tensions, but many still plan to avoid U.S. travel and products amid distrust of Trump.
- Many Canadians welcome the Democratic sweep of Congress in the United States, yet remain cautious about whether voters' "strong rebuke of President Donald Trump" will shift the ongoing trade war.

- Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc stated Wednesday that Ottawa's push to diversify trade will continue regardless of U.S. political shifts, noting that recent talks with Trump's administration have been productive.
