It is a rare honour to be invited to address you today, here where the common bond between our two nations is symbolised. Of course ours isn't a relationship built only on shared history and sentiment. Canadian investment in Britain has grown by over 50 % in the last six years, making you the fourth largest investor in our country. Britain is the second largest investor in Canada. Last year alone, British companies committed more than C$13 billion here. The country Voltaire likened to "quelques arpents de neige" and Edward Gibbon to ancient Germany, is today for Britain a high-tech hub of the global economy. You are world leaders now in the new economy. But there are ties deeper than commerce alone can ever be.

The Globe And Mail: Prime Ministers - Time To Honour A National Hero (1/2) Alexander Macdonald is, essentially, to read a new world biography. . Let us recallMacdonald s famous unity quote Let us and above all let us be canadians. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/series/primeministers/stories/jam-20020112-1.html
Extractions: In few other countries would a national hero be so neglected. In comparing Macdonald to Washington it is probably safe to say that Sir John played a greater role in forging the Canadian nation state than Washington did in determining the nature of his United States. In addition, Macdonald was the more interesting personality. The irony is that the interesting human aspects of Macdonald's personality have been allowed to obscure the true greatness of the man. Britain will never forget her Cromwell, her Pitt and her Disraeli. The hero whose name we add to our list of immortals, John Alexander Macdonald, had much of the force of an Oliver Cromwell, some of the compacting and conciliating tact of a William Pitt, the sagacity of a William Gladstone, and some of the shrewdness of a Benjamin Disraeli. To read the biography of John Alexander Macdonald is, essentially, to read a "new world biography."

Lord Tweedsmuir was a prolific author, writing two or three books a year his suspense novel Thirty-Nine Steps later became famous when Alfred Hitchcock made it into a movie.

While he pursued his own writing career, he also promoted the development of a distinctly Canadian culture. In 1936, encouraged by Lady Tweedsmuir, he created the Governor General's Literary Awards, which continue to be Canada's most prestigious recognition of literary merit. Lady Tweedsmuir was active in promoting literacy in Canada. She used Rideau Hall as a distribution centre for 40,000 books, which were sent out to readers in remote areas of the west. Her program was known as the "Lady Tweedsmuir Prairie Library Scheme". Together, Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir established the first proper library at Rideau Hall.

Have you ever wondered who Glenn Goulds first piano teacher was, which prime minister regularly fell through the ice on the way to visit his sweetheart, or in which part of Canada Susanna Moodie set her famous novel Roughing It in the Bush ? You are not alone. The search for biographical information about Canadians can lead one on many serendipitous journeys through the wealth of information available on the World Wide Web. The information currently available is scattered, volatile and incomplete. Memorable Canadians: An Index of Biographies Contained on the National Library of Canadas Web Site addresses these concerns. In May 1999, I was given the challenge of organizing the biographical information on the National Library of Canadas Web site. While the goal of this project was to create a finding aid to the National Librarys existing material, there was also a need to know what other biographical sources could be made available to National Library (NL) clients seeking information about Canadas people. The project involved researching Canadian and international information, investigating NL material, and creating a Web "sub" site. Websters New World Dictionary defines "biography" as the following:
