The Spin

Pro-government narrative

Mark Wiseman brings exactly the expertise needed to protect Canadian interests in this critical relationship. His deep understanding of both countries' economies, financial markets and institutions, along with his proven track record in negotiation, positions him perfectly to advance opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses as an ambassador.

Government-critical narrative

Appointing Mark Wiseman as U.S. ambassador exposes Carney's dangerous priorities that threaten Canada's sovereignty. Wiseman's irresponsible stance on immigration, from leading the Century Initiative to his careless remarks about screening immigrants, demonstrates his complete disregard for national security and the concerns of ordinary Canadians.
