This has been a very divisive and disruptive investigation which has hurt Canadian beef and pork producers, and has not helped corn growers.

We have offered to work cooperatively with corn growers and governments to find solutions that do not negatively impact other Canadian industries. We were prepared to engage in cooperative discussions at any time with counterparts who are willing to seek out common ground.

I didn't know Ronnie had a problem until I spoke to him at the interval. He said he'd hurt it while training but I don't think it would have made any difference in the end. You have to do what I did, which is clear up when he misses. But it's just one win. I won't get carried away unless I'm here for the final.

Silence is the language of hurt

Blame is like a flame. The more its burn is applied, the more severe it's scarring.

Is that a bad omen? I have to ask: Can we add those two games to our win column? Hey, I'm 2-0 in the NCAA tournament.
