"Ms. Joly said Canada is not interfering in U.S. politics, and said it’s “absolutely not” fair of Mr. Hoekstra to suggest that. We “would never do that,” she told reporters in Ottawa, and said Canada would “never accept that also being done to us in Canada.” She summarized her recent trips to the United States, saying she has met with business people and political leaders from both Democrats and Republicans to attract new investment to Canada. “I’ve been to Boston, engaging with the governor there. I’ve been also to Illinois and also engaging with the governor JB Pritzker there,” the minister said. “I’ve been also to NASA in Florida,” she said. “Fundamentally, what I’ve done in the U.S. is to attract investments,” Ms. Joly said, adding she hopes to soon announce “good news of investments by different American companies” in Canada. She said her job is to convince foreign investors to put their capital in Canada." @melaniejoly @stevenchase @l_stone
