I just arrived in Windsor, Ontario, Canada for the Canada-United States Interparliamentary Group meeting. The conference was started in 1959 by legislators from Canada and the United States to discuss issues of mutual interest. We’ll be meeting to talk about trade and economics, defense and environmental issues, trans-border issues and international relations.

There will Senators and Representatives both Republicans and Democrats on the trip to work on these important issues in a bi-partisan fashion. Anytime you can meet with lawmakers from other countries it is beneficial to maintain international diplomacy.

After a day of meetings tomorrow we’ll be going to a baseball game at Comerica Park. The Detroit Tigers are playing the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are my favorite team and I’m excited to see them play.
