“Actually, in this instance we do have probably a better tracking system than was the instance in Canada. Because this is a dairy cow, they're all individually tagged.”

“I'm confident that we have measures in place. And the additional measures that we announced yesterday will be even more protective of our food supply in this country.”

“This was a dairy cow, and dairy cows have IDs on them. The ID was traced back to the farm in Washington. It's a dairy farm. And that farm now has been quarantined, and the owners have been very cooperative in doing that.”

“We oppose any pipeline whose sole purpose is to export bitumen from Canada to make profits in other countries.”

“Inequality is on the rise in Canada and those at the top have no idea what life is like for most Canadian families.”

“I feel lucky. I grew up in an open-minded, multi-cultural community in West Vancouver in Canada. There were people who had escaped some kind of oppression. Some of them were first-generation immigrants, others were one or two generations back.”
