Show detail Hide detail

This episode of Headline Politics, hosted by Peter Van Dusen, features Governor General Adrienne Clarkson's farewell speech to the Empire Club of Canada and the Canadian Club of Toronto. The speech is titled “What I've Seen,” and in it Clarkson reflects on her six years as Governor General of Canada. First she addresses the Clarkson Cup for women's hockey, a personal gift from herself that she hopes will encourage more appreciation for the sport. She then describes the extensive travelling she has done in Canada during her mandate, and states that she has been very privileged to be able to do this, as there is no way to truly know Canada without travelling it widely. Some of her travels included visits to 50 Northern communities such as Grise Fiord, Nunavut, and Iqaluit, Nunavut, and two visits to Baildon, a Hutterite community in Saskatchewan. She speaks about the great diversity of Canada's geography and its people, from the Aboriginal Peoples to newly arrived immigrants, and emphasizes the importance of sharing all Canada has to offer. Clarkson discusses Canada's agricultural history and its future, which is in danger as young people move to cities in search of jobs. On the topic of Canadian heritage, she argues that Canada is a young country but not an immature society. Canadian heritage is deep and important, especially to communities whose heritage has been ignored or suppressed. Canadian history also has shadows, which Canadians must always remember and take responsibility for. She concludes by speaking about her time visiting Canadian troops, and offering some closing thoughts. <32mn 30s>
