Public outrage in Canada has mounted dramatically as over 225,000 citizens signed a House of Commons petition demanding that U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra be declared persona non grata (PNG). Former Canadian diplomat Jeremy Kinsman noted that while Hoekstra’s aggressive and "undiplomatic" style mirrors the broader hostility of the Trump administration, his conduct may not yet meet the official threshold for expulsion. The movement highlights a growing global trend of friction between foreign governments and Trump-appointed envoys, with similar diplomatic spats and petition drives unfolding in nations like Iceland, Chile, Poland, and France.
