WASHINGTON—It’s been a running gag ever since she launched her bid to become president of the United States: Amy Klobuchar knows how to handle a Canadian winter. “Canadians love Amy Klobuchar — look at the way she handled snow,” joked former Canadian ambassador and Manitoba premier Gary Doer, who hosted Klobuchar’s 2013 swearing-in party on the Canadian Embassy’s rooftop patio. Gordon Giffin, U.S. ambassador to Canada under Bill Clinton, happened to be hosting his own reception for Klobuchar at his home in Atlanta the very next night. She brings Republicans and Democrats — and some of the most red Republicans and blue Democrats,” he recalled. Klobuchar registered just four per cent, with fewer than a third of those surveyed even having an opinion of her.
