Agreement Negotiations: Trade Minister

agreement negotiations: We have a Minister of Foreign Affairs who is immersed almost exclusively in North American free-trade agreement negotiations to the exclusion, so it seems, of most other foreign issues, while the actual International Trade Minister remains studiously incognito, according to Rabble. If there is such a thing as a Canada-Africa file, for example, our government doesn't flaunt it. We have a Prime Minister who excited us with his promise that Canada would become a peacekeeping nation once again, but who has evidently abandoned the issue entirely. Meanwhile, the world remains a mess. As always, just about every time you turn around, a terrible crisis looms in a place or for a group you've never heard of before. Canada is needed.
