This guy is a diplomat?
Witnesses say they saw U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra launch into an expletive-laden tirade at Ontarios trade representative, David Paterson. 
One witness said Hoekstra appeared to be upset about the anti-tariff ad that the province recently ran on television in the U.S., which has infuriated President Donald Trump. The witness said Hoesktra could be heard using the F-word and also mentioned Ontario Premier Doug Ford by name.

        In a semi-functional society Hoekstra would be recalled and publicly defrocked.
