talking perspective people
I do want to try to put things in perspective today relative to the U.S.-Canada relationship. I would like to start by talking about how important this relationship is to the people of the United States.
grateful government police
We are very grateful for what the Ontario provincial government is doing, and for cooperation from provincial and local police forces all across Canada.
war military grateful
But Canada remains a crucial partner in this global war on terrorism, and we are grateful for that. Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and military personnel continue anti-terrorist operations in the Persian Gulf.
military america looks
We want to look at how we would respond because, as hard as we work to prevent terrorist attacks here North America, if we have a catastrophic terrorist attack, it is the military that is going to have to go in at the request of civilian authorities.
canada energy integrating
We are also looking to Canada as we continue to integrate the North American energy market.
jobs mean borders
There is $1.4 billion a day in trade that goes back and forth across the border. That means millions of jobs and livelihoods for families here in Canada and for families in the United States.
law drug borders
We will have a border that is open for business, open for tourism, open for legitimate travelers; but that is closed to terrorists and drug pushers and smugglers and others who seek to break the law.
play canada roles
Canada is preparing to play a major role in the continued stability and security of Afghanistan through ISAF.
disappointment canada united-states
Yet there is disappointment in Washington and in the United States that Canada is not supporting us fully.
war giving people
Then we can help these failed states turn around and give their people a better life. This, too, is a critical part of this global war on terrorism, and Canada and the United States are together.
perseverance struggle sacrifice
Much has been accomplished during the last year in the campaign against terrorism. This struggle will require vigilance, perseverance and sacrifice for many years to come.
islands england massachusetts
When I was Governor of Massachusetts, we worked to get Sable Island gas into New England.
perspective effort body
Like Canada, we very much wanted the United Nations to be a relevant and effective body. But once those efforts failed, we no longer saw things from a multilateral perspective. For us, now, it is much more basic than that. It is about family.
war iraq effort
This war in Iraq is part of a larger effort to remove this terrorist threat from the planet.
