International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland speaks to reporters on Parliament Hill on Oct. 27, 2016. Freeland says there is enormous opportunity for Canada even amid growing protectionist and nationalist movements in the United States and elsewhere. Photo Adrian Wyld/CP Freeland believes Canada is bucking the trend in the face of populist movements seeking easy targets such as immigrants and trade agreements. Freeland said there is strong public and cross-party support in Canada for international trade agreements that places the country in a unique situation compared to other nations. And that open and inviting environment, she adds, will translate into unique opportunities ahead. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
