Canada International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland and the Liberals

: Canada International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland told CTV Power Play Monday that she concerned about the rising protectionist rhetoric we’re seeing around the world, including in the U.S. election campaign, according to CTV. She noted that sixty per cent of Canada GDP is driven by trade. The 12-country trade deal covering 40 per cent of the global economy is a signature imitative of a Democratic president, and Republicans have generally championed increased trade, but this time around hopefuls from both parties are sounding skeptical. The Liberals have already since signed on to the deal, but Freeland said they will continue to review it before ratification. Here a look at where the five remaining presidential hopefuls stand on the TPP, and how some of their positions have shifted over time. She admits that what Canada decides will be moot if the next U.S. president decides to veto the deal. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
