Canada was built on dead beavers.

Canadians know me so well – I am part of Canada’s collective memory – and my fame would get people through the door who would not otherwise be interesting in talking about mental health.

I actually grew up in Europe half my life. Then Canada, then the States.

The thing about Canada is that it’s a very large country, and the population’s very spread out among different regions. Each region in the country really has its own personality and its own culture, you know? From West Coast to East Coast – wherever you go, it’s almost like it’s its own country.
Canada in general is a beautiful country.
It’s cool to be a pioneer in something, especially in basketball in Canada, it’s pretty good.

I’ve long said that if Canada has a role on the world stage, it’s principally as a role model, a demonstration that people of all types can get together and live in peace and harmony, which is something we really do most of the time here.
Mexico is the only country in the world that has a trade agreement with United States and Canada, and at the same time has one with Europe. These are the two largest markets in the world. By the same token, Mexico has one of the most open economies.

If you’re big in Montreal, you’re big in Quebec. If you’re big in Toronto, you’re big in Canada. But if you’re big in New York, you’re big in the rest of the world.

There’s no question that tar sands in Canada are probably the largest source of oil available to the U.S. over a long period of time. There’s as much oil in the tar sands probably as there is in Saudi Arabia. The problem is, there’s a huge capital requirement to develop that.

For 14 years I had that run in Canada as a newscaster. When I decided to quit in 1953 I was making more money than the prime minister. Then I was a freelance actor for six years in Canada, the U.S., and England. Then ‘Bonanza’ came along and I had another 14 year run.
Often, my liberal Canadian brethren will claim that ‘Canada doesn’t get involved in foreign affairs or wars overseas. We turn the other cheek.’ No. Canada doesn’t have the military might to exercise any option other than to remain uninvolved. They aren’t turning the other cheek. They’re pulling a Sweden.
Inequality is on the rise in Canada and those at the top have no idea what life is like for most Canadian families.
