The aid pouring from all across Canada has been truly overwhelming, ... Many countries are offering help, nobody more so than Canada ... You're at the top of the list and for that we will always be very grateful.

If we don't (start negotiating) neither your country nor mine will get any relief from this litigious process that has been going on well over two decades.

The majority of guns coming from the United States are purchased by Canadian citizens.

I listened, I heard the concerns.

When we are facing what appears to be more and more the worst natural disaster in our country's history, many of these other issues we have been discussing suddenly pale in comparison.

Talk of trade wars and retaliation make good copy but they don't make good sense in my opinion. Friends negotiate, they don't retaliate.

Without a negotiated settlement there will continue to be a myriad of lawsuits as there have been and will continue to be.

That is a shared responsibility. I've heard more than one Canadian official say it's mostly Canadians bringing the guns across. Not hundreds of thousands at a time, but three or four at a time.
