I’m told the call began with general congratulations, and as we reported the tone was warm.

The President reminisced about meeting Indigenous leaders during his last trip to Ottawa, and how he thought of that moment as he nominated the first Indigenous cabinet secretary.
Order of the conversation was as follows:

Congratulations. COVID. Biden’s buy American plans. KeystoneXL. Climate change. The two Canadian Michaels. North American security. Global security. And softwood lumber.
On COVID, there was a pledge from both Biden and Trudeau to listen to experts, make decisions based on science snd facts.

Source noted there was no such conversation between Trudeau and President Trump.
