Exit interview with U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson – Canada, Uncategorized, World – Macleans.ca

This summer, David Jacobson steps down from the position of U.S. ambassador to Canada, which he has held since 2009. A lawyer and big-dollar fundraiser for the U.S. President, Jacobson’s tenure was marked by progress between the two countries on border co-operation—and by the drawn-out controversy over the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would bring oil-sands crude from Alberta to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Jacobson plans to head back to his hometown of Chicago, where he will become a senior executive at the U.S. headquarters of the Bank of Montreal.
