“I like to play a role in bringing this country closer together. I find sometimes it's four, five, six countries in one, and I think we've got to be honest: as Canadians, we're still a small country, and if we don't come together, we're not going to do big things. And most importantly, in a world that's looking for inspiration and belief and human values, Canada's got a role to play globally. I feel that we've got such a foundation to do that. By becoming a citizen to be part of this potential that I see for Canada was quite frankly, inspiring to me and made it easy to want to be part of that.” - Anthony Viel [00:08:29]
