Strikes “Come From Away” note/BNN capture
Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland has struck a “Come From Away” note at her scrum in Washington at noon hour Tuesday. She spoke of Canada’s condolences on the anniversary of the 9/11 atrocity 17 years ago. Freeland is in high pressure talks to try to achieve a renewed agreement on NAFTA. On this subject, she spoke only of the sincerity and goodwill exhibited on all sides. The negotiations are not over until they are over she said. Media speculation in the US Tuesday suggested Canada would relent on weakening of its stringent “supply management” process by which Canadian dairy farmers are protected from foreign competition.
