'It will be interesting': Ottawans react to Trump's victory

As the dust settles following a tumultuous U.S. presidential election, people north of the border are trying to make sense of what a second term as president for Donald Trump means for Canada.

As the dust settles following a tumultuous U.S. presidential election, people north of the border are trying to make sense of what a second term as president for Donald Trump means for Canada.

Political leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were quick to take to social media to congratulate Trump, but there are several pressing questions about how the federal government plans to navigate a new political landscape.

While there are some concerns over how a Trump presidency could negatively impact the Canadian economy, there is a range of reactions from every day working Canadians in the nation's capital.

Bogdan Wozniak has owned and operated his hot dog stand just steps away from Parliament Hill since 1988.

From Jean Chrétien to Justin Trudeau, he's fed some of Canada’s most influential politicians over his more than 35 years in business.

Just last week, Wozniak says he served Canada’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, and he asked him how he felt about the political landscape south of the border.

"I said, 'what do you think is going to happen?' and he said to me,'it doesn't matter what happens, Canada will survive,'" Wozniak told CTV News.
