As I constantly remind Canadians, there isnt really a Canadian economy anymore. It is a global economy.

I was asked to speak about Canadian politics. It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians.

It's the idea that we just have to go along, we can't change it, things won't change. I think that's the sad part, the sad reality traditional parties have bred in parts of Atlantic Canada.

Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it.

Having hit a wall, the next logical step is not to bang our heads against it.

Whether Canada ends up with one national government or two governments or 10 governments, the Canadian people will require less government no matter what the constitutional status or arrangement of any future country may be.

Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature.
