People in Maine are kind of appalled by what’s happened,” said Amy Fried, a former political science chair at the University of Maine.

Fried said Canada has played a central role in this election in a way she hasn’t seen in decades.

As one of the states where the result could be close, Maine may determine if Democrats are able to claim the Senate and provide some opposition to Trump.

“And the animosity of Trump towards Canada … he seems to revel in hurting this long economic and military relationship,” Fried said in an interview.

But politics watchers say it’s not clear which result would offer a win for Canada, or if a win is even likely.
