   “I’m not discouraged at all. I think we’re living a very important time   
   in the   
   world. It’s a big shift. It is probably what I would call the beginning of   
   the   
   end of the American empire. And it has to come, all the empires change, so   
   now, you know, it’s accelerated, but we are in a very good position, because   
   we have land, we have the best educated people in the world, you know that,   
   and we have the tolerance that is a great value, we have the sharing that does   
   not exist in many other countries, we have less very, very rich people per   
   capita, but less very, very poor people too in Canada, and we have the unity,   
   that we have to fight all the time about that...”
