MP McLeod surprised by Trump win, but says result wasn’t an issue of gender
KAMLOOPS — The MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo says she was as surprised as anyone by the result of yesterday’s US presidential election.
Cathy McLeod says the vote reminded her of the Brexit outcome in the United Kingdom earlier this year.
“I was surprised by the outcome. But it really just goes to show, unless you live in a country, you don’t know what’s happening in terms of the feelings, the dynamics. I look at Brexit. I was surprised by that outcome and certainly surprised with the outcome last night.”
McLeod says she’s concerned about the potential impact of a Trump presidency to the economic relationship between Canada and the United States.
