Clinton In Quebec (1995)

It’s February 27th. This day in 1995, President Bill Clinton is in Canada, where he offers seemingly-bland remarks about the country, but ones that are largely seen to reveal his opinion about the looming Quebec independence vote.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how Clinton’s remarks were received, and the larger context for why he was visiting Canada at this very tense moment to begin with.
