n.b .,: Tim Hortons and Quebec Town

n.b .,: The Quebec town was rocked by a huge train explosion in July 2013 that killed 47 people, according to The Waterloo Record. The prime minister will later visit a Tim Hortons at Bishop's University in Sherbrooke and meet with the media there before heading to a restaurant in Granby to chat with members of the public Trudeau touched on a variety of issues Tuesday during his visits to Fredericton, N.B., and Sherbrooke. Trudeau, however, will begin his day by holding a private meeting with Lac Megantic Mayor Jean-Guy Cloutier. In Fredericton, he said his government inherited a high degree of mistrust from the previous Conservative government that has left Canadians skeptical about consultations on pipelines and environmental protection. At an earlier news conference, Trudeau affirmed Canada's support of NATO, days after U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's called the military alliance obsolete, but stopped short of saying he would spend more so Canada could meet NATO's spending target for its members. Trudeau said that's why his government has turned around and enhanced the process for pipeline approvals to make sure there's more public input. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
