I caught up with Government House Leader Peter Van Loan at Invesco Field shortly before Obama’s speech. He gets points for standing in the middle of a crowded hallway and gamely talking into my MacBook, an experience he accurately described as “bizarre.”
Of his conversations with Obama aides, he said: “Everyone we’ve talked to agrees that NAFTA has been very positive for both countries and they want to see it continue. … Everyone I’ve talked to says, no, any concerns about trade are not directed at Canada.”
