Hélène Farnaud-Defromontfrench Ambassador
My mission is very clear. It’s to work toward making France one of Canada’s closest allies in Europe, in each field, in every sector,
The stance, which is both very calm and very determined, by Canadian leaders in the face of demands from the U.S. that are, after all, extremely radical is really an attitude that commands admiration in Europe and … in France in particular,
We have a bilateral relationship that is very good, comprehensive and substantial, but we believe we can achieve even more together, in areas that are truly strategic,
We, France and the French people, really want to present ourselves as sincere, reliable and steadfast partners, at the heart of these international uncertainties,

Dual elections a headache for some B.C. voters

There’s just so much confusion in the community right now that we’re having to navigate, and it’s just so frustrating,

It’s pretty much impossible to sit down and read every single person’s point of view and what they’re campaigning for,
The local candidate elections, as far as I can tell, are running just fine,
I’m hearing candidates going door-to-door for the municipal election being told that ‘I can’t vote for you because I’m voting for our MLA,'
