Focus Laser-Like: Globetrotting Journalist and Brains Trust

focus laser-like: The first step was to replace former Liberal leader St phane Dion as global affairs minister, according to Rabble. The new minister, Chrystia Freeland, has a degree from Harvard and worked as a high-profile journalist in New York City, London and Moscow. When the year began, the Trudeau government signalled it planned to focus laser-like on the new administration in Washington. The Liberal brains trust calculated that with her worldliness and charm the one-time globetrotting journalist would have more success than the earnest and professorial Dion. Global affairs professionals were not happy with that choice. Earlier, Trudeau had named lobbyist extraordinaire David McNaughton to represent Canada in Washington. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
