“When I think about what makes Canada great, fresh water is right at the top of the list. We have over two million lakes in this country and more than enough people who are willing to mess with them. My Canada includes weird scientists who are devoted to keeping our water clean. When we stand up and we sing O Canada, we pledge to stand on guard for thee. If that doesn't include our water, we might as well sit down and give up.” PeopleIfsThinkingGivingWellsTwoCountryEnoughMightWaterMillionsWillingGiving UpScientistDown AndCleanListsMessTheeCanadaLakesDevotedPledgeFresh Water Author:Rick Mercer

I think, you know, that is what we are hoping for.” IfsThinkingKnowsStillsFeltTalkingTearsTrumpElectionTablesTradeAssumingCanadaAgreementMexicoFree TradeTrade AgreementsNaftaAmerican Elections Author:Rick Mercer
“I think Donald Trump realizes that if the story, in a day or two, is that the United States is in a war of words with Canada, people are going to go - well, good Lord, if he can't get along with Canada, he can't get along with anyone.
