We Canadians are blessed to live in the best country in the world. But we must remember that our good fortune is not an accident. It's the direct result of visionary leaders, of courageous men and women in uniform, of the waves of industrious immigrants who have come to our shores, of the decorated athletes who unite us and make us proud, and, of course, because of Canad...

Happy birthday, Canada. On this day 149 years ago, the people of this great land came together. There would no longer be an Upper Canada or a Lower Canada, a Canada West or a Canada East. Instead, there would be one nation, one country, one Canada. From the outset, Canada was formed not in spite of differences, but because of them. Today, as we celebrate our nation's bir...

I am honoured to partake in this special time, which celebrates the common values ...

The central theme of our discussions this weekend was the need to encourage freer trade...
