Hillary Clinton in Canada

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 (Vancouver, Canada)

Thursday, March 6, 2014 (Calgary, Canada)

In a set of twin speeches in Canada, Hillary Rodham Clinton discussed a number of issues for the United States, Canada, and the ongoing tensions between Russian and Ukraine. Speaking as part of the Global Perspectives series, Clinton was asked a number of questions, but the most important question to many was about the controversial Keystone Pipeline. The Pipeline is unpopular in the United States among environmentalists, but it is very important to Canada in transporting Canadian oil. She avoided questions about the pipeline by acknowledging that she had worked with the project as Secretary of State, but went to say that she, “Can’t comment any further on that because it is still an ongoing process.”

Videos for either of speeches are not currently available but will be posted when they are.
