When I think about what makes Canada great, fresh water is right at the top of the list. We have over two million lakes in this country and more than enough people who are willing to mess with them. My Canada includes weird scientists who are devoted to keeping our water clean. When we stand up and we sing O Canada, we pledge to stand on guard for thee. If that doesn't include our water, we might as well sit down and give up.

I'm very lucky, because my beat is current events. And events are changing all the time.

The US is our trading partner, our neighbour, our ally and our friend... and sometimes we'd like to give them such a smack!

And in Canada we, you know, it costs us three or $400 million to have an election. You know, it's always been my position that we shouldn't complain about that; that's the price of admission for a living in a great democracy.

I don't believe in outing people. It's up to the individual, but there's nothing wrong putting the pressure on.

In Canada... we should be there for the nurses, cause they are always there for us.
