美国指责加拿大政客试图影响其中期选举，理由是加拿大一直在努力反对唐纳德·特朗普总统的关税政策。
The United States has accused Canadian politicians of trying to influence its midterm elections, pointing to Canada’s efforts to push back against President Donald Trump’s tariff campaign.
美国大使馆在周三发布的一份事实说明书中称，加拿大对美国关于选举干预的指控态度轻蔑。
fact sheet released on Wednesday, the US embassy accused Canada of being dismissive of its allegations of election interference.
该说明书写道：“尽管加拿大政府的高官和总理在官方文件及公开讲话中明确表示了他们试图影响美国政治的意图，但他们却对美国方面的担忧置若罔闻。”
“The Canadian government brushes off concerns about potential interference in U.S. elections, even as its ministers and premiers openly describe plans to influence American politics in official documents and public appearances,” the fact sheet reads.
自2025年特朗普第二个任期开始以来，两国一直处于贸易战状态；加拿大通过征收进口关税来应对美国的关税措施。
The two countries have been locked in a trade war since the start of Trump’s second term in 2025, with Canada responding to US tariffs with import taxes of its own.
美国大使馆认为，加拿大官员关于关税的公开言论实际上是在试图影响11月3日举行的中期选举。
But the US embassy identified public statements about the tariffs as being attempts to sway the November 3 midterm election.
被点名的加拿大政客中包括工业部长梅兰妮·乔利（Melanie Joly）。说明书引用了乔利在8月份关于应对特朗普关税政策的言论：“我们也会针对美国某些特定州的产品采取行动；因此，我们的做法是明智且具有战略性的。”
Among the politicians singled out in the fact sheet was Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly. The fact sheet pointed to comments Joly made in August about responding to Trump’s tariffs.
美国大使馆还批评了乔利在9月份与民主党官员在波士顿和芝加哥会面的行为。当记者询问如果民主党赢得中期选举，关税政策会如何变化时，乔利表示：“这正是我与众多州长及潜在总统候选人会面的原因。”
“We’re also targeting products that will target states in the US. And so we’re being wise and strategic to put political pressure,” Joly said at the time.
乔利否认自己的行为属于选举干预，并强调加拿大绝不会干涉美国选举；她表示与民主党及共和党政客的会面都是为了推动加拿大经济的发展。
The embassy also took issue with Joly’s meetings with Democratic officials in Boston and Chicago in September. When asked by a reporter what she thought might happen with regard to tariffs if Democrats won the midterms, she said, “That’s exactly why I’m meeting so many governors and potential presidential candidates.”Joly has rejected the suggestion that her actions could amount to interference, saying Canada would never meddle in US elections. She said her meetings with US politicians, both Democratic and Republican, were about building Canada’s economy.
她在10月14日对记者说：“我在美国的主要目的是吸引投资。”
“Fundamentally, what I’ve done in the US is to attract investments,” she told reporters on October 14.
大使馆还指出，安大略省省长道格·福特呼吁对美国产品采取报复性措施，以及其政府去年发起的针对特朗普关税的广告宣传活动。
The embassy also pointed to Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s calls for retaliatory measures on US products, as well as his government’s advertising campaign against Trump’s tariffs, launched last year.
该活动播放了前美国总统罗纳德·里根在1987年广播讲话中批评关税的片段，促使特朗普于2025年10月取消了与加拿大的贸易谈判。
The campaign, which featured clips of former US President Ronald Reagan criticising tariffs in a 1987 radio address, prompted Trump to call off trade talks with Canada in October 2025.
虽然大使馆列举了加拿大官员试图影响美国贸易政策的若干例子，但并未解释这些努力如何构成了干涉。
While the embassy laid out several examples of Canadian officials trying to influence US trade policy, it didn’t explain how those efforts amounted to interference.
其他所谓的选举干涉实例包括自由党议员安东尼·豪斯法瑟表示，他在民主党众议员黛比·沃瑟曼·舒尔茨8月初选前曾在佛罗里达州为其助选。
Other instances of alleged election interference included Liberal MP Anthony Housefather saying he had campaigned in Florida on behalf of Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ahead of her primary election in August.
这份情况说明还指控个别加拿大人非法参与美国选举，点名了11名在2012年至2024年间因投票而被起诉或判刑的人员。
The fact sheet also accused individual Canadians of illegally participating in US elections, naming 11 people who had been charged or sentenced for voting between 2012 and 2024.
然而，该说明并未提供任何证据，将这些公民与加拿大政府介入美国选举的行动联系起来。
The sheet did not, however, present any evidence linking those citizens to a Canadian government effort to involve itself in US elections.
“所有加拿大人都应避免以任何方式试图参与或影响美国选举，”美国大使馆的声明称，“美国人决定美国的选举。” 这份情况说明在美国驻加拿大大使皮特·霍克斯特拉表示华盛顿正密切关注加拿大是否有干涉迹象、以应对中期选举一周后发布。
“All Canadians should refrain from attempting to participate in or influence U.S. elections in any way,” the US embassy’s statement said. “Americans decide America’s elections.”The fact sheet comes a week after US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said Washington was closely watching Canada for signs of interference ahead of the midterms.
据《加拿大通讯社》报道，霍克斯特拉在《The Really Big Show》播客访谈中说：“我们在监控，我们在评估，如果其中一些演变成选举干涉，美国将做出回应。”
“We’re monitoring it, we’re evaluating it and if some of it becomes election interference then America will respond to it,” Hoekstra said in a podcast interview on The Really Big Show, according to The Canadian Press.
美国和加拿大长期以来是盟友，但自特朗普重返白宫以来，关系已出现裂痕。
The US and Canada have long been allies, but relations have frayed since Trump returned to office.
这位共和党领袖不仅挑起了与加拿大的贸易战，还多次威胁要让加拿大成为第51个州。
Not only has the Republican leader triggered a trade war with Canada, but he has also repeatedly threatened to make Canada a 51st state.
据报道，在本周阿尔伯塔省独立公投失败之前，该省分离主义领导人曾寻求特朗普政府官员的支持。
There have also been reports that separatist leaders from Alberta had sought support from Trump administration officials ahead of a failed referendum on the province’s independence this week.
在周一的省级投票前，加拿大总理马克·卡尼针对美国可能干涉公投的担忧表态，称加拿大期望外国政府不干预其选举。
Ahead of Monday’s provincial vote, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed concerns about potential US interference in the referendum, saying Canada expected foreign governments to stay out of its elections.
他对环球新闻网表示：“我们的期望非常明确，关于外国政府，包括美国在内，就是我们不干涉他们的选举，他们也不干涉我们的选举。”
“Our expectation is, to be absolutely clear, on foreign governments, United States included, is we don’t get ourselves involved in their elections, they don’t get themselves involved in our elections,” he told Global News.
半岛电视台已联系总理办公室、加拿大全球事务部、安大略省省长道格·福特办公室以及工业部长乔利办公室置评。
Al Jazeera has reached out to the Prime Minister’s Office and Global Affairs Canada for comment, as well as the office of Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Industry Minister Joly.
