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...
Fifteen years ago, a September day that began like any other became one of the darkest in our nation's history. The Twin Towers were reduced to rubble. The Pentagon was in flames. A Pennsylvania field burned with the wreckage of an airplane. And nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost. Sons and daughters, husbands and wives, neighbors and colleagues and friends. They were ...
Thank you. Oh, so nice to see you! Hi, especially on your grandfather's birthday. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is typical, when invited to speak at a conference, to begin by saying, "I'm honored and I'm grateful to be here." And I am grateful to be given a chance to speak, and to be here with such an esteemed group of people. But if I'm be...
Assalam Alaikum! Hello, my friends! For the last month, Muslims around the world and here in Canada have fasted from dawn to sunset. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan – a time of fasting and reflection, spiritual discipline and renewal, and service to those less fortunate. I am honoured to partake in this special time, which celebrates the common values ...
I want to join Boris in paying tribute to the Prime Minister. He has led this country with courage, dignity and grace. He and the Chancellor rebuilt our economy. He has made opportunity more equal in our society. He has exemplified the very best in public service. He deserves to be remembered as a great Prime Minister. He called this referendum, so the British people could d...
Hi, everybody, and Happy Fourth of July weekend. On Monday, Michelle, Malia, Sasha, and I will celebrate the Fourth just like most of you – in the backyard. We'll hang out with family and friends, throw some burgers and dogs on the grill, and watch the fireworks show. Of course, we're fortunate enough to have the South Lawn as our backyard. So we're also going to...
Good morning, everybody. I want to say a few words about the explosions that occurred here in New York City and New Jersey and the other devices that have been found in New Jersey. I've been monitoring the situation closely and receiving frequent updates from my team. And I've just been briefed again by FBI Director Comey. In addition, I've had a chance to speak ...
I'm aware that not everybody in this country is happy. Indeed, a lot of young people have been wound up by scare stories and are actually very angry and very scared about their future. It's an irony really, that it's the youth of the country that appear to be worried. Right across the whole of the European Union, it is the under-30s that are protesting in the str...
I am shocked and saddened by the horrifying attack in Nice last night. Our hearts go out to the French people, and to all those who have lost loved ones or been injured. While the full picture is still emerging, it seems that at least 80 people are feared dead and many others have been injured. These were innocent victims enjoying a national celebration with their friends an...
Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change. We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record – and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter. When I took office, I said this was something we couldn't kick down the road any longer – that our children's future depended on our action. So, we got to work, and over the past seven-...
Good morning. Scripture tells us, "Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you…write them on the tablet of your heart." Secretary Carter, Chairman Dunford, outstanding members of our Armed Forces, and most of all, survivors of that September day and the families of those we lost – it is a great honor, once again, to be with you on this day, a day that I kno...
On behalf of the whole country, I want to wish Team GB every success for this summer's Olympic Games in Rio. Four years ago, you won more medals than countries 10 times our size. Your sheer hard work, your courage and character inspired our nation and brought our United Kingdom together with a wonderful sense of pride. I know that you will do so again. And although you w...
Hi, I'm Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Now consider this. On the first Senate bill debated in 2015 under a new Republican majority, the Senate considered more amendments, from both sides of the aisle, than the entire previous year under the leadership of Harry Reid. That is the dramatic change in the way business is done for you. And it's working. As Chairman of the...
I'm Senator Lamar Alexander, from Tennessee. When Tennesseans woke up on Wednesday morning and opened up our state's largest paper, the front page headline read "Very Near Collapse." The story wasn't about a bridge or a foreign dictatorship. "Very Near Collapse" was our state insurance commissioner's description of the Obamacare exchange i...
Well, I'm so glad that I can stand here. It's my great, great honor to win this award. I first would like to thank Ken Liu – he is a great translator of my story. And I'd like to thank Lynn and Michael of the Uncanny magazine who publish my story. And I would like to thank everybody who voted for me. Thank you very much! I'm not going to say that I'm very...
President Obama: To begin with, I just want to say thank you to the outstanding officials behind me who have been on the ground, working 24/7 since this flood happened. It begins with outstanding leadership from the top – with Governor John Bel Edwards. And we very much appreciate all the outstanding work he's done. His better half, the First Lady of Louisiana, I know ha...
Welcome to the Treasury. Today, I want to reassure the British people, and the global community, that Britain is ready to confront what the future holds for us from a position of strength. That is because in the last six years the government and the British people have worked hard to rebuild the British economy. We have worked systematically through a plan that today means B...
The first job of the federal government is to keep our country safe. And if we've learned anything over the past eight years, it's that the President's foreign policy is not doing the job. Look no further than: the vanishing red line in Syria, the faulty reset with Russia, the attempt to "lead from behind" in Libya, followed by the rise of a terrorist s...
By listening to the American people, Republicans have developed a positive agenda to get our country back on track. We're calling it A Better Way. A Better Way would not only restore American leadership in the world, it would generate a healthy expansion of our economy that would increase job opportunities, lift wages, and help us keep the commitments we've made to o...
On behalf of everyone in the Scottish Government, I'm delighted to send my warmest greetings to Muslims across Scotland who are celebrating Eid. I know that this year's Ramadan fast has been particularly challenging – taking place during the longest days of the year. I'm deeply impressed by your commitment and your discipline. The Scottish Government greatly valu...
