The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa released a fact sheet on October 21, 2026, titled 'Monitoring Canadian activities in U.S. Politics' that accuses Canada of interfering in U.S. midterm elections.

What we found

Supports. The embassy's fact sheet is dated October 21, 2026 and carries the title 'Monitoring Canadian Activities in U.S. Politics,' as stated in the primary document.[2][4][5]

Supports. The fact sheet says ministers and premiers 'openly describe plans to influence American politics' and cites examples tied to the November 3 midterm elections, which AP and Politico report as an accusation of election interference.[1][2][3]

Context. The accusation targets specific figures such as Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and others, rather than the Canadian government as a whole; Carney and Ford rejected the allegations, and the Rio Times reports no finding that any law was broken.[1][3][6]
