Woman Behind Petition to Oust U. S. Ambassador Says Response Is 'Beyond What I Expected' Lee Walker, the Calgary based woman behind the petition calling for the ouster of U. S.
Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, says she's been surprised by the overwhelming response from Canadians. The petition, which has garnered over 70,000 signatures in just a few days, accuses Hoekstra of undermining the Canada U.
S. diplomatic relationship and normalizing reckless rhetoric from Washington. At its core, this is not simply a matter of partisan politics or diplomatic protocol; it's a question of sovereignty.
