Canadian Politicians: Canadian Counterparts and Return Visit

canadian politicians: U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly is coming to Ottawa on Friday, the first member of President Donald Trump's inner circle to accept an invitation to head north for meetings with his Canadian counterparts, according to CBC. That might not sound like a big deal, but it is. A return visit. For weeks now, Canadian politicians have trekked south to meet members of the U.S. cabinet and Congress, each visit built around the singular purpose of reminding, convincing and cajoling the Americans into understanding that the economic relationship between the two countries supports jobs and investment on both sides of the border. It's a partner and valued friend. Canada, they say, is more than just a neighbour. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
