This is a big performance for Brian and great news for Canadian swimming.

This incident is a tragic reminder of the insecurity that continues to plague the Afghan population and of the enormous risks facing the dedicated and courageous Canadian civilian and military personnel working in that country.

This partnership borrowed over $110 million from a Canadian bank and that showed up booked as income to the company immediately, ...

This merger is an exciting event for both companies and the markets we serve. The word 'synergy' is often overused today. But in this case, we truly have achieved a tremendously complimentary combination both geographically and functionally.

This merger immediately doubles the Canadian presence of both firms through the integration of our respective Toronto and Montreal offices.

There really isn't a good player out there that every coach doesn't know about. For us it makes sense because we are so close.

It's a symbolic act on her part recognizing that the person who represents the Queen as the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Forces doesn't want to be in a position where anyone might say she has divided loyalties. I don't believe for a second she would have had them, but symbols are important.

It's a big border and bad guys try to come across. The question is what we, in cooperation with the Canadian government, can do to make both our countries safer.

It was a story of two different markets. The U.S. market was flat to nothing, the Canadian market was flying, and it's our darling stocks again -- Northern Telecom and BCE. Canadian technology was really what drove the market here. The story continues for Bell and Nortel.

It is the Canadian people we get our mandate from, not the ambassador of the United States.

It's a disaster for Canada, for free trade and Canadian industry.

It's a great feeling to beat a Canadian team. They're so strong and the tradition has always been great in Canadian hockey. To beat this team, we took a lot of pride in that.

In a very competitive marketplace dominated by large US based common carriers , ShipNorthAmerica has been able to succeed by providing exporters and importers with advantageous alternatives for their Canada/US crossborder LTL (less than truckload) and truckload shipments.

I tried to make birdies the last couple of holes and it didn't come out for me. I guess you can (attribute) that to pressure. I haven't been in that situation. I was trying to press the issue a little bit maybe, rather than just letting it happen. I think eventually a Canadian will win this.

Foreign investors are still quite keen to buy Canadian bonds as we still have low and stable inflation.

It's always difficult to pare down so many books. There's only room for five on the raft. So there was give and take. There has to be compromise, but it was very amicable.
