what has caused that what are canadian consumers worried about? >> i think essentially job prospects. there are indications there could be a slight declaim in job prospect and i think this has a major impact on the consumer confidence. >> tom: we've obviously seen global concern when it comes to finance and business related to europe. that so some degree has been pointed to here in the u.s. for financial constraints and what about in canada and banking industry are you concerned about your exposure to european sovereign debt. >> in terms of the banking industry overall i would say that the exposure would be moderate compared to other banks around the world. but it is a risk that has to be very well monitored by the banking industry globally. >> tom: the banking in of industry in canada survived over the last four years in very good shape certainly relative to the u.s. banking because of restrictions has it hurt the canadian economy and financial industry. >> i would say the canadian financial industry is in relatively good shape compared to other

but the canadian point -- you have to understand, canadians are a bunch of loyalists. think about this, we have -- if you want to know the difference between canada and the united states, what's our trilogy? life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. what is the canadians' trilogy? peace, order, and good government. there's a difference between the two countries. it's two different cultures. they really are still very much affected by their loyalist beginnings. >> thank you. >> you talked a little bit earlier about in the -- >> what's your name, please? >> i'm nathan, horace mann school. you talked a bit in the 1780s madison is worried about tyranny of the majority. >> right. >> the state legislatures are running amok. i was wondering what you thought about the relation of the uniquely american concept of judicial review on the concept and especially today we have citizens united recently, we have the health care challenge coming up. >> right. >> how you think that kind of strand has intertwined since marlboro versus madison in the revolutionary period? >> it develops very s

ten thousand canadians rally against a new door betting on sanction protests as a government grows desperate to end months or prevent the student demonstrations. even observers in syria pointed human rights violations from both the regime and the rebels saying the peace plan is crumbling but in neighboring lebanon the shock waves of the best are being felt for a second week running. in egypt a result see the country torn between an islamist candidate and a former mubarak official crown prince to the presidency this country could fall under hardline. this is a weekly news review on kerry johnston the welcome to the program. the new quebec law seen as a government attempt to find the end on going student protests has renewed fury among canadians this week the bill for bids any large protest peaceful or otherwise without proper police approval but far from stopping demonstrations clashes are intensifying with thousands more joining in to demand that the act be repealed what is going to chicken is in montreal. it's hard to gauge exactly how many people there are on the streets of montreal but th

is doing is deciding whether a canadian company will get the bid to build b.a.r.t.'s new fleet of rail cars. but that has a lot of people out here concerned about american jobs and the price and which company should get the job in the first place. some union workers and east bay politicians rallied right before the b.a.r.t. board meeting this morning. some wanting the canadian builder, bombardier and a french manufacturer to have another chance at presenting their best option. b.a.r.t.'s staff recommended the canadian company to build the new rail cars for $1.5 billion. the other company came in a little higher at first but offered more parts made in the u.s., which many believe could lead to more local jobs in places like richmond. b.a.r.t.'s 40-year-old rail cars are some of the oldest in the united states. no u.s. company bid on this at all. the new cars, b.a.r.t. said, bombardier met a number of factors that they were looking for. but many this morning said the deal really needs a second look. >> we're trying to get b.a.r.t. to basically not rebid this contract,

where the's canadian anti-trust department when we need them? dunkin is the number two purveyor behind starbucks and the number one on hot coffee. and they own baskin robbins, which is the country's best seller of hard ice cream. do we go based on whose store we like better, who has the best coffee, who has the tastiest donuts? wrong! i like to express the importance of this qualitative thinking. to answer homer simpson's timeless philosophical question, donuts, is there anything they can't do? sadly, yes. they can't help you decide between dunkin and tim. you're not investing in the donuts, you're investing in the companies, tim duncan. can you imagine? different show. when it comes to these two companies, we really care about two things, the ability to grow and what do we always talk about because this is where management comes in, the ability to execute. i think dunkin wins on both counts. first let's talk growth potential. you may think because tim horton is smaller with about 4,000 locations, only about 700 in the u.s., they would have more

plus the canadian consumer is in weaker shape than her u.s. counterpart. did you see the sears canada stores doing much worse than sears america stores? tim horton's does plan to expand aggressively in the u.s. but the company needs time to build out the brand here whereas dunkin' is well known, even in places where it has no stores. even with their larger footprint, dunkin' is expanding at a faster pace in the u.s. than tim horton is. while i like tim, most don't even know his last name but everyone knows america runs on dunkin'. so dunkin' wins on growth. it also wins on execution. compare the latest quarters from both companies. dunkin' delivered terrific numbers, something it's done consistently since going public last year along with higher than expected revenues and they also raised their full-year guidance. dunkin' sees its domestic same-store sales chugging along, excellent quarter. plus dunkin' has given you two probable secondaries. let's hope facebook does something like that, huh? these have been great buying opportunities. with the stock up 23

>> i am canadian. so publicly-funded media for me is actually probably the most natural thing in the world. and i lived in britain for a long time so it's pretty natural too. maybe i'll respond a little bit to what rebecca and lee had to say. and i was nodding madly when rebecca spoke because i do think that the narrative about what's happened to the media that says it's all worse than it used to be in the golden age of the '70s and '80s is very much one that comes from the news room is of "the washington post," the "l.a. times," maybe the "new york times." it's not necessarily one that comes from what people experience. and something i think about a lot, it's also i think a very coastal even sort of a corridor narrative. i grew up in a small town in northern alberta. what we could read when i was a kid was "peace river record gazette," our local paper once a week. listen to cbc. and "edmonton journal," delivered at 6:00 at night by greyhound from edmonton. that was it. today, my dad, who's a farmer an

the canadians always said it is a great jury and that is what they are working with the bicentennial year. the british say they have forgotten all about the war. but if you press them they say they don't think the americans lost the joke is the americans are happy because they think they one and the canadians are happier because they know they want it and the british are the happiest they forget the whole figure ever happened. >>host: where did you grow up? >> christ church new zealand. this city of 10,000 earthquakes. >>host: how did you read about the diversity of virginia? >> i was in new zealand at the time but they offered me a job. late 1980's which included the paper ears of james madison which is the definitive edition of the founding fathers thomas jefferson, adams, washington , franklin, i wrote on medicine and the president said tell us about the project and teach for us. it is like the tried in fighting the anthropologist. they usually accept the invitation to 72 american history in new zealand, what to were the important things other people should know about our history?

and canadian shores with much more expected. tomorrow, officials from the coast guard and noaa will testify about the u.s. response to this growing problem. live coverage starts at 10:30 eastern here on c-span3. >> when immigrants start to show up in significant numbers which is somewhat the case in the 1820s and 1830s, but really very much the case in the 1840s and afterwards, they're showing up in a political environment in which they're already qualified

you can see some canadian money up there.us about how come how money is easy to plan for, and but what about planning for people? what about those loved ones, those friends that we all say are so critical for having a good life? how many of you, when you thought about a good life, put friends and family first? how many put friends and family being the critical number one element? what do you think it is? what makes it easy to think about planning for money? but so difficult to plan for people? there is something that makes us hesitant to reach out to others. some of us can take this idea of independence to an extreme. i think this is probably some place in newfoundland, a remote shore of canada. we have come to believe that reaching out to others is a sign of weakness. was he asking for help and support as a vulnerability instead of a necessary strength. so if you agree with me that connections are the key to a good life, i would like you to explore with me how technology, and in particular, how that works can actually help.

>> guest: well, the cii is the canadian islamic congress. one of the other interesting features of the demographic transformation -- that's a reasonable name. i find there's something called the supreme islamic council of canada, which always sounds slightly less friendly to me. i may do them an injustice. i used to be on the mailing list of supremist council of ireland. i think they were aglobal. i don't see the point of fighting to throw off the hated english opresser a couple of decade later, the supreme islamic council sets up shop in dublin. there's the supreme islamic council in now south wales. i think a lot of groups are concerned to put islam beyond discussion. it's not a question whether you say good things or bad things inch essence in muslim countries, islam is beyond discussion, and i think it's a fascinating topic to discuss and you should be allowed to discuss it. so these fellows filed a human rights complaint in canada. canada does not have a first amendment, and so speech is policed by state bureaucrats, which i think is an
