I think our workers understand that no good could come from a strike,

That's been a really good breeding ground for them this year ... It's one for the record books for sure.

It's not going to rain much more than a day ... so that's going to keep the amounts from getting too large and keep down the flooding.

It tends to come down very hard for a short period of time. You get caught in a deluge as it really starts to pour for a while.

They'll get a rainy day in the Maritimes for sure, but not the amounts we're seeing in Ontario.

I'm ready for lots more to come, no doubt about that. This year has the potential to be record-breaking.

I don't really rule out selling any asset.

I don't like having to be the messenger. That's why I said the other day I was going to forget being paid, ... I don't want to have to apologize for making a lot of money while I'm having to tell these people what's going to happen in their lives.

Some call me a gangster of love

No leader can possibly have all the answers . . . .The actual solutions about how best to meet the challenges of the moment have to be made by the people closest to the action. . . .The leader has to find the way to empower those frontline people, to challenge them, to provide them with the resources they need, and then to hold them accountable.
