Hillary Clinton to Montreal Monday 01.25.2010

Hillary Clinton will be attending a conference tomorrow in Montreal to begin planning for the long-term recovery of Haiti. It will be her second appearance in Canada as Secretary of State. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 13, 2009 for the climax of a year celebrating the 100th anniversary of our Boundary Waters Treaty with Canada.


Here she is wearing red for Canada that day. Canadians tweeted about the color of her pantsuit as she crossed the bridge.


This was taken upon Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon's first visit to the new Secretary of State last year. He will be hosting this very important conference.
