Canadian diplomats based in U.S. advised to avoid appearing with midterm candidates

Canadian diplomats stationed in the U.S. have been cautioned to steer clear of any public appearances with U.S. midterm candidates. This advisory stems from concerns about diplomatic neutrality and the potential for blurring lines between political campaigning and official duties. The move underscores the importance of maintaining clear separation between diplomatic activities and domestic political processes, especially during a time of heightened political engagement. This guidance likely reflects broader efforts to uphold international protocols and avoid any perceived bias in foreign diplomatic relations.
