Not sure this was the response he envisioned.
„The Globe sent Mr. Hoekstra’s office a series of questions on Tuesday, including what consequences he envisioned if The Globe does not publish an apology, and when the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa had last requested an apology from a Canadian media outlet.“

Was the column unbecoming of the Globe? – Yes
Is an apology appropriate? – No
Hoekstra has spent his time here lecturing and admonishing us. He has done nothing for this country within the current US administration AFAIK. So an apology, even just as a courtesy to him, is not something he’s earned.

Why the fuck this asshole is still in the country?? He should be declared „persona non-grata“ and asked to get the f/o. Spewing shit every week. When was the last time he or anybody in this cult cabal admin EVER apologized for anything to Canada?

>For some, that grief continued to reverberate even after the Washington visit. Ottawa Senators’ Brady Tkachuk was forced to distance himself from an AI-generated TikTok video published by the White House in which he appears to issue a foul-mouthed insult of Canadians.
“I would never say that,” Mr. Tkachuk said last Thursday, during his first media availability after the Olympics. “That’s not who I am, so I guess I don’t like that video because that would never come out of my mouth, and never had that thought.”
It’s pretty rich of Hoekstra to be demanding an apology from the Globe for besmirching the US hockey players, when his own bosses at the White House put out a fake AI video of one of their players being douchy to Canada.

Canada requests and apology from the US for the US ambassador…

Fuck me Americans are soft. Deal with the criticism like a regular basic adult. Absolute Muppets.

An American ambassador asking Canada to apologize for a routine media article would be amusing if it weren’t so absurd.
Over the past year we’ve heard threats to Canadian sovereignty, our Prime Minister referred to as “your governor,” open talk about deliberately damaging the Canadian economy, and repeated claims that our border is “just a line.” Add the constant stream of taunts and lectures directed at Canada by American officials and commentators.
And now we’re supposed to apologize for journalism?
Canada has fought beside the United States for generations and maintained the longest peaceful border in the world. The relationship has always worked because it was grounded in mutual respect.
Lately that respect has been coming from only one side.
If anyone should be thinking about apologies, it isn’t Canada. And if we are instead normalizing the behaviour of US leadership, then let me speak in a normalized fashion : take your fragile bruised ego and get bent.

>“The headline alone – comparing American athletes to monkeys in a zoo – is demeaning and unworthy of a publication of The Globe and Mail’s stature“
And your boss posting a video depicting the Obamas as monkies was… what exactly?
Soooooooo close to an actual moment of self-awareness, yet so far.

“While we respect press freedom and expect robust commentary on matters of public interest, this article crosses the line from legitimate criticism into gratuitous insult,” Mr. Hoekstra wrote in a letter to The Globe’s editor-in-chief, David Walmsley. “The headline alone – comparing American athletes to monkeys in a zoo – is demeaning and unworthy of a publication of The Globe and Mail’s stature.”
While their own president portrayed a former president and his wife apes on social media directly………
