I don’t believe that these are American values or Canadian values or Western values. Which is why Americans often are surprised when our favourite American actor or singer turns out to be Canadian. And here in Canada, the world has been inspired as Canadians across this country have opened up their hearts and their homes. This fall at the United Nations, we’ll host a global summit on refugees because in the face of this crisis, more nations need to step up and meet our basic obligations to our fellow human beings. We also agree as Americans and Canadians that wealthy countries like ours cannot reach our full potential while others remain mired in poverty.
