PCFR dinner on Hydro-Quebec, Trudeau, etc.

 

Feb. 2, 2016

To members and friends of the Providence Committee on Foreign Relations (thepcfr.orgpcfremail@gmail.com). (We update the Web site frequently with news and commentary.  Information on how to join the PCFR is on the site, too.)

Speaking to us next, at our  Tuesday, Feb. 16, dinner meeting, will be David Alward, the former premier of New Brunswick and now the consul general of Canada to New England.

He’ll talk about the implications of the recent change in Ottawa under  new (rock star?) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, international security issues, such big trade  matters as New England’s purchase of more hydro-electric power from Canada,  the U.S.-Canada border and the idea of a common market encompassing Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
