For many years, the government of Canada has massively supported orchestras and the arts in general.

There are no benefactors in Canada because there is no incentive.

Well, pioneers always suffer. I don't care who is the first to embark upon things. For instance, settlers that settled the West, Western Canada and the U.S... they went though hell doing it, but it had to be done.

I have a lot of friends and fans in Canada and as a matter of fact I met a fan from there that came down to my office. It was nice and we took pictures and had a nice talk.

I love working in Canada. The ovation is great. It makes me feel like I'm the top dog.

I think in Atlantic Canada, because of what happened in the decades following Confederation, there is a culture of defeat that we have to overcome.

Canada remains alienated from its allies, shut out of the reconstruction process to some degree, unable to influence events. There is no upside to the position Canada took.

Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion.

The world is now unipolar and contains o-nly o-ne superpower. Canada shares a continent with that superpower.

Make no mistake. Canada is not a bilingual country. In fact it is less bilingual today than it has ever been.

Well, I've just gotten accustomed to just being in Canada for five and a half months a year.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

Canada and space are a natural fit.

Canada has made a strong commitment as a partner in the International Space Station and, like the other partners, wishes to see the assembly of this unique orbiting laboratory continue.
