A pair of nonverbal communication experts say Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney showed all the tight control of two politicians chatting under contentious circumstances Monday.

YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN...A Toronto MP originally from Peace River in northwestern Alberta, Freeland took on the role of deputy prime minister and minister of intergovernmental affairs this month. With both Saskatchewan and Alberta electing zero Liberal MPs during the most recent federal election, many see Freeland’s role as managing growing sentiments of Western alienation.
