She may be the best negotiator in the world, but she will be a woman thrust into a sea of hard nosed American men, all fighting tooth and nail to win concessions. There is no doubt she has high qualifications, however I worry that her appointment had more to do with Trudeau's push for gender equality, than appointing the best person for the job. Trudeau has already demonstrated he is willing to go in this direction by insisting that his cabinet be 50% women.
