My mom is from Canada. Both my grandparents were from Canada.

At the first general meeting of this Corporation in 1820, his Lordship presided; a circumstance, which may well be considered an era in the history of the Church of Upper Canada.
Two races share today the soil of Canada. These people had not always been friends. But I hasten to say it. There is no longer any family here but the human family. It matters not the language people speak, or the altars at which they kneel.
In Canada, we’re happy to provide a safe haven for next-door neighbors in the middle of a marital dispute. And if anyone trips while crossing the border, we’re happy to set their broken bones for free.
The country I most admire is Canada, the one I’ve served my whole life.
Is it in our national interest to overheat the planet? That’s the question Obama faces in deciding whether to approve Keystone XL, a 2,000-mile-long pipeline that will bring 500,000 barrels of tar-sand oil from Canada to oil refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.
Even if I had nothing to do with the Canada Council, I’d be praying for it.
From that moment on, there will be an irreversible process to separate Quebec from Canada.
I guess if you split the difference between the U.K. and the U.S., you would get Canada. But that’s just due to proximity. Just because of distance, we get a lot more cultural spillover from America.
I am a subject of the British Crown, but whenever I have to choose between the interests of England and Canada it is manifest to me that the interests of my country are identical with those of the United States of America.
I bought an island in 1987. It’s in one of the lakes in Canada. I went around it in my boat and went to the real estate office and bought it. It’s the best $65,000 I’ve ever spent. My family camp on it and we have great times there.
Canada has changed. We are a bit less self-deprecating, less apologetic about viewing our own stories.

I’ve been to McDonald’s in Spain, Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Scotland, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada and Singapore. Despite that, I’m still without a fast food endorsement, which hurts a bit because you’re not really somebody unless someone is paying for your McDonald’s.
I grew up in a very British family who had been transplanted to Canada, and my grandmother’s house was filled with English books. I was a very early reader, so I was really brought up being surrounded with piles of British books and British newspapers, British magazines. I developed a really great love of England.
I would have to say that Canada definitely produces the best wrestlers; I don’t know why. I think Canada is a big wrestling country, and there are a lot of guys who are interested in wrestling in Canada.
Canada has this really cool way – specifically Toronto – of encouraging you to wave both flags: if you’ve been born there, like, wave your flag and then wave your parent’s flag, too, and be proud of it.
I think not only Canada but the world as a whole is called upon to really choose leaders who can generate unity and compassion throughout the world. This is how you find peace, right?
We have an existential crisis, which is the climate crisis. Canada is one of the laggards in the industrialized world. Our record is terrible.
I think that’s the beauty of the Olympics. There’s always a story. There’s always someone you’re invested in. There are so many Olympic moments that resonate with people all across Canada, and I think that’s the beauty of it.
We don’t come to Canada for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves.

Well, I’ve just gotten accustomed to just being in Canada for five and a half months a year.
Growing up in Canada, I didn’t watch football much.
What Canada has to do is to have a government connected to the priorities of the people of which it is elected to serve. Those priorities include ensuring medicare is sustainable, support for the military, and tax and justice systems that work.
My wife’s half-Indian, her father’s from Uganda and she was born in Canada. Her sister speaks French and their family speaks a little Gujarati, and I’m talking about Gujarati from 1940! And just think – Rajpal Yadav in the middle of all this. What a contrast!
I grew up in kind of the last generation of Canadians who thought things that were happening in Britain were more important, almost, than what was happening in Canada. And my mother was fervently of that opinion.

I’m at the National Theatre School, which is like the Juilliard of Canada.
I realized that ‘performing’ was what I wanted to do when I did my first professional gig as a dancer with my company ‘Synergy’ in Canada. I was overwhelmed with how it felt to perform in front of an audience.

I love the sun; I would have trouble living in Canada.
I really think Canada should get over to Iraq as quickly as possible.
In the summer of 1997, a little more than half a lifetime ago, I got my first proper summer job. The job, with one of the many branches of Canada’s federal government in Ottawa, covered the entire tuition for my sophomore year of college.
The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women.
In Canada, you do smaller movies that maybe nobody sees, but you get to do bigger, better parts.

I’ve always had an affinity for the fashion industry – I’ve always been drawn to it. But I grew up in Calgary in Canada, which, being a fairly isolated city, is not particularly known for having anything to do with fashion.
As a woman in Canada, I get to do whatever I want to do, and I’m used to that. I’m used to not having my government tell me my life is going to be restricted because I’m female.
Since 1955, the U.K. has been part of an intelligence-sharing arrangement with the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Intelligence-sharing is, in itself, commonplace.
