Trudeau meets with Mexican president at critical time in NAFTA talks

With the price of a litre of gasoline hovering at or above $1.53 in the Lower Mainland, and the ongoing dispute as described above seems not to be moderating, and with the lack of leadership by Trudeau and the Liberals all of Canada but especially B.C. can and will see increases in the cost of living which will translate into higher fees for government services thus higher taxes.

Two of the three political leaders with the most at stake at the NAFTA table huddled Friday behind closed doors, their most senior trade lieutenants alongside, in hopes of unlocking a mutually beneficial solution to the cross-border conundrum posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

US officials have said the strikes hit three chemical-weapons facilities, including one in Damascus and two in Homs.

"This is something we can not accept, the use of chemical weapons on civilians", he said, "and the global community needs to continue to stand extremely strongly as we continue to hold Syria accountable".

The prime minister is now attending the Summit of the Americas in Peru, and was at a reception with U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence shortly before the news broke that the U.S. was preparing to launch strikes.

Russia, which has emerged as Syrian President Bashar Assad's strongest supporter, previously suggested Israel and Britain were behind the Douma attack and expressed outrage Saturday over the airstrikes.

NBA Playoffs 2018: Celtics take Game 1 over Bucks in overtime thriller
Al Horford is averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds while Jayson Tatum is averaging 19 points and four assists. The Boston Celtics didn't turn any heads on Sunday, but they came away with a Game 1 win anyway.

Freeland did not specify how she knew that the Syrian government was responsible, though she said Canada is working with non-governmental organizations and others to collect evidence of war crimes and other atrocities in Syria. "Victoria that is violating our Constitution, undermining the Rule of Law, attacking free trade within Canada, and undermining our country's vital economic interests and yet all of those things have been taken off the table". "But it is equally important for us to be aware of the distraction tactics that some of the actors in the world are using today and to not allow those tactics to work".

"We would have preferred an alternative path".

The Russian Embassy also took to Twitter to weigh in on the strikes, calling them "treacherous and insane".

Russia's US embassy released a statement warning that the airstrikes would "not be left without consequences".

Trump chastised Syria's two main allies, Russia and Iran, for their roles in supporting "murderous dictators", and noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had guaranteed a 2013 global agreement for Assad to get rid of all of his chemical weapons. Moscow has denied responsibility for the poisoning.

Friday's strikes appear to signal Trump's willingness to draw the United States more deeply into the Syrian conflict.

The comments came as the global community was still grappling with the aftermath of the Friday's airstrikes against the Syrian government in retaliation for a suspected chemical-weapons attack that killed dozens of people.
