Joe Clark Quotations

The issue in Web accessibility is the fact that blind and visually-impaired people need the single biggest boost to achieve equivalence, since the real-world Web is a visual medium.

There's what we expect bears to do and then there's what they do. Sometimes the two don't match.

'Authoring tools' are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.

We live in a nice city. I can't take all the credit here.

Most of the time it's the big criminal lawyers that take care of those cases.

Navigation is important, but the single biggest issue is prodding Web developers into learning how to make standards-compliant sites. They've quite simply been doing it wrong all along.

He was a giant of a man, had an extraordinary impact on the country.

There are so many parts of online captioning that either don't work or work badly that just getting it to work at all is an achievement.

I think it is too simple to suggest that it's simply Mr. Harper's fault.

I think it is probably just a matter of there being more bears and more people in bear range than ever before.

I think the prime minister should take the opportunity (Monday) to make it clear Canadian airspace and landing sites would be available if there is any need,

I think the party is narrowly based. And a narrowly based party can't win a broadly based country.

Retailers play a vital role in our success and we aim to offer them unprecedented support. In addition to our above the line activity we have worked closely with our sales promotion agency, 141 Worldwide, to develop a strong retail strategy and provide retailers with an extensive range of bespoke point of sale material.

I think her greater impact will be on younger Canadians,

That's to the credit of the officers, particularly on night shift, who are doing a good job.

We had a lot of big busts. It's to the credit of the people calling in.

Typically you won't encounter one because they sense your presence a long time before you sense theirs.

Even if you set aside the need for valid code, it is ridiculously easy to find non-government sites that flunk even the simplest and most canonical requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, like using alt texts for images.

Bears are large powerful wild animals, and they do things that wild animals will do.

As the populations of people and bears continue to grow there will be more opportunities for this type of thing. We are dealing with a large, powerful wild animal.

I use the same definition of accessibility everywhere: accommodating features a person cannot change or cannot change easily.

Our evidence leads us to believe at this time that this was an isolated incident,

Authoring tools' are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.

This population of kids who are really in transition with their parents are at a very critical time as common sense would tell you. For them to have any chance to succeed in school, they must have this component and aspect of their education that continues out of school. The out of school time for them is critically important.

They're emerging at this time of year and there's very little food availability and they'll continue to lose weight until some of those first berry crops begin coming off.

A blind person using a screen reader must experience the links one after another, which is rather inconvenient. They've got better things to do.

It's been a very good year for us.

That's a crime of opportunity that could be totally prevented.

These people are incorrigible. And since none of them could graduate anyway, you are all expurgated. You are dismissed! You are out of here forever! I wish you well.

This is a very complicated country. You have to understand it, you have to respect it, and I think our most successful prime ministers have been people who have drawn together the diversity of the country.

In any event, accessibility is almost as poorly-known now as it was 2.5 years ago when I started work on my book. That's because most 'Web' developers aren't making Web sites at all, since they don't have a clue what valid HTML and CSS means.

I know there are scars and wounds from battles fought. It is a different day and a different process.

I am not convinced my suggested methods are actually as usable as I think they are.

I believed from the outset it was not going to be capable, given its narrow base, of being successful in the country,

He and I are the only two spectators.
