The Transition-

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

From a Canadian point of view, skin colour isn't a big deal. But when you consider America's history full of slavery, segregation, and that is just over 40 years removed from a civil rights struggle it is a big deal. A country that throws off its past like this is an inspiration. The fact that it's America is reason for hope and optimism.

For the better part of 8 years my country has served as a bridge for America to the rest of the world. Now that it's signalling a return to the international community I extend a hearty welcome back.

It will be hard work him. And there will be mistakes, and things may not get done as fast as he wants to (I don't think he can withdraw troops from Iraq in 16 months). But he is a man who can inspire us to be our best, and shifts our perception of change from the negative to positive. Tomorrow at noon hope will be restored at a time when it's needed most. America will return to to the world renewed.
