  1. Freeland - frozen from the White House!   That's the revelation of a guest by CBC (Frank Buckley)....and by the looks and sound of the anchorwoman, it was  unexpected info.   Buckley basically called Freeland, "stupid."

    "You don't show your despise for the person you're trying to negotiate with!"

    Apparently, there was an interview of Freeland (can't recall what magazine) where-in she talked like the Washington Post!   :lol: 

    She was frozen out of the White House.  She does regional circuit - but that's just about it.  Send someone who can negotiate. 

    The CBC anchorperson looked like she was hyperventilating! :lol:

      Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland’s recent undiplomatic speech in Washington warned about “angry populism,” the rise of “strongmen” and the United States’ seeming withdrawal from the rules-based international order.

      It must've stung so much when Harper was granted entry to the White House.

      Harper gets it...Freeland doesn't and wants to live in the past, with the Americans bearing most of the post WW2 burden.

      "Recent tensions between Canada and the Trump administration have jolted Canadian officials and commentators to the fact that the United States is moving toward a new model of global engagement rooted in unabashed self-interest. Many who are accustomed to the United States assuming a major share of resources and responsibilities are astonished. But they shouldn’t be. That game is over and may never resume. The deck has been reshuffled. Canadian policy makers need to be ready to play their hand on behalf of Canadian interests. "
