Canadian foreign minister Freeland on retaliatory tariffs: "We do so in sorrow, not in anger".

Also pointing out

1) Ad hominem attacks are not the right way to do business in the world

2) Canadian parliament unanimously supported federal government against the ad hominem attacks

3) American Congress majority likely supports Canada's position*

3) America exports more steel to Canada than imports from Canada

4) The tariffs are illegal, per WTO agreement

5) WTO complaint filed and pending

6) Also discussed Russian democracy threat, Venezuela, North Korea, Yemen...lots of ignored or lamely covered by corporate media

Real news by a real smart politician.

No one is fan of fake news but the lame news we get in the corporate media is even worse.
