There was a brief discussion over the weekend on how to improve access across the Canada U-S border.Thunder Bay-Rainy River M-P John Rafferty says his brief talk with Minnesota Senator Al Franken in International Falls set the stage for broader discussions in the near future.
"We've made a plan to get together as soon as we can," says Rafferty. "Possibility later this month or in October when the U.S. Senate is back in Washington."
Rafferty says Franken was well understanding of the issues, including the turn-back of American tourists with often decades old drunk driving charges.
