Integrating is easier when you have a job in Canada.
America is essentially an entrepreneurial culture: the sizzle is the steak, because, after all, if you buy the sizzle, the steak comes with it. Canada’s, in contrast, is a primary-producing culture: we’ll buy the steak and hope to get a little sizzle with it. But we know we can’t eat sizzle.
I wasn’t properly performing in Canada. I was just starting out, and when everyone starts out, they’re terrible. I’m sure there are some Kellyanne Conway videos of me just really dying on a stage.
An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn’t take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I’d found a friend for life.

I love Canada, and I dated someone who was Canadian a few years ago, and she brought me into a deeper understanding of the greatness of the culture.
A couple of fans followed my sister and I all the way to the airport from a live show that we did in Canada. Our driver had to pull over and fake a turn to lose them, but they actually showed up in the airport just before we went through customs.

Canada is the homeland of equality, justice and tolerance.
We toured the U.S. and Canada for two years, which was a lot of fun.

The Bachelor Canada’ will be uniquely Canadian in and of itself because you’re going to have a 100 percent Canadian cast, you’re going to use Canada as a backdrop, you’ll be going to all of those iconic places around Canada from coast-to-coast.

We have such a marvelous interplay between Canada and the United States.
I believe it is wrong for Canada to follow the path of countries who exploit large numbers of guest workers, who have no realistic prospect of citizenship. It is bad for our economy in that it depresses wages for all Canadians, but it’s even worse for our country.

There is no disputing the fact that American consumers pay 30 to 300 percent more for the same prescription drugs as our counterparts in Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world.
I think there’s a certain objectivity that comes from being Canadian. You’re partly British and partly American; you have a good bird’s-eye view of both countries. So much of the comedy that comes out of Canada is impersonation – it’s less ‘look at me’ than it is ‘look at me playing other people.’
The Liberal Party of Canada has demonstrated that it is hell bent on winning their majority at almost any cost.

What’s amazing is – I actually have problems getting it into my head – Canada is so big, right? And Ireland’s small, you know; you drive from coast to coast in three hours.
I’d like to do a film in Canada, but it’s too difficult. National Film Board funding takes too long, and there’s too much paperwork; by the time the film is approved the topic is dead and gone.
Before Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, there was the same sort of talk of young men sacrificing their lives so that a country might grow – that somehow it had been a great nation-building success for Newfoundland.
