My vote against this misbegotten war is the best vote I have cast in the United States Senate since I was elected in 1962.  And my call more than a year ago _ more than a year ago _ to bring our troops home is one of my proudest moments.  -  Sen. Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy (February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009)

Bob Rae and Omar Ha-Redeye at a fundraiser in 2007

Hon. Bob Rae spoke this morning at the University of Western Ontario Law School on A Changing World: New Directions for Canadian Foreign Policy.

He said that Canada needs to find its own voice on the international scene.  If we disagree with our American neighbours, this does not mean it is anti-Americanism.

We have our own national interests we need to pursue.
