White House officials have promised American journalists a full briefing this afternoon after the President meets with the Prime Minister and together they hold a news conference. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's office has just alerted Canadian journalists that the briefing they had planned for 4 p.m. has been cancelled. It will now be held Friday afternoon. It's a curious move that gives the Americans a leg up on the public relations front in trying to present their views of the day. -- Bruce Campion-Smith
