Bruce Heyman, who served as ambassador to Canada under U.S. president Barack Obama between 2014 and 2017, has been increasingly vocal in his support for Canada. In contrast, current U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra has offended some Canadians to the point that a parliamentary petition calling for his removal has gathered more than 260,000 signatures.
Both Midwesterners, Heyman grew up in Ohio and served as a managing director of private wealth management at Goldman Sachs before Obama appointed him as U.S. ambassador to Canada.
