Winnipeg press conference foreshadows referendum debate
A late month Winnipeg press conference drew little attention as critics argue the referendum is a power move and discuss free trade links. David Orchard, Saskatoon activist, and Liberal Sharon Carstairs pressed a no vote while Orchard’s group opposes free trade. Asper clarifies he offered support to debate, not a private cheque. The discussion ties to the broader North American trade framework and cross-border commerce within Canada.
