DescriptionJust a few days after signing a historic agreement she hopes will see a Canadian company build a massive pipeline to flow natural gas from Alaska to Alberta and into the North American distribution system, Gov. Sarah Palin says she is working to strengthen relations with Canada, and President-elect Obama should too.

Palin suggested the pipeline contract is an example of cross-border co-operation that Obama can learn from.

"I want to grow the relationship we have with Canada," Palin said from Fairbanks. "I know Alaska is doing all we can to grow that relationship, and we've gotta have faith that the newly elected administration will see the light on that and work very hard to increase and strengthen the relationship between our two countries."

Palin was less agreeable when discussing the suggestion from the Obama team during the campaign that he would make changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
