Our beliefs, our values shape the way we look out at the world and the way we treat it. If we believe that we were here, placed here by God, that this - all of this creation is for us, it's for us to go and occupy, dominate and exploit, then we will proceed to do that.

We are playing Russian roulette with features of the planet’s atmosphere that will profoundly impact generations to come. How long are we willing to gamble?

Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.

Each time I visit Japan, I am reminded of how Canadian I am and how little racial connection matters.
