Former U.S. president Bill Clinton listens to his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a conference at the Bell Centre Wednesday night.
The United States is making a mistake by moving in the opposite direction of Canada on cultural diversity, immigration and social harmony, former U.S. president Bill Clinton told a receptive audience in Montreal on Wednesday night.
“Canada has done such a good job of both managing its contemporary diversity and it has a very interesting immigration system,” he said at the Bell Centre, where he and his wife, former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, made their second stop on a paid speaking tour of North America.
“And yet it’s still Canada,” Clinton added. “And I just think that you can model the idea that you can become more diverse and still keep your culture and your values. It’s really very good for a modern economy.”
Canada has the capacity to embrace and influence the world in a positive way, he said.
This was a refreshing, honest, humorous evening with the Clintons. They had serious answers on the Bin Laden raid, North Korea, despots in general, Putin in particular, and climate change – among other topics. Lighter notes touched on their courtship and time at Yale.
Tuesday evening, Hillary Clinton received the inaugural In the Arena Award at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. Congratulations, Mme. Secretary! So appropriate and well-deserved!
Evening Award Ceremony and Conversation with Hillary Clinton, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2018
(AUSTIN, TEXAS, Nov. 1, 2018) The LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin (UT), with support from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation, will present its inaugural In The Arena award to the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton. The LBJ School established this prestigious award to honor an individual who has demonstrated — with purpose, perseverance, courage, integrity and empathy — commitment to public service, in service of the greater good.
Secretary Clinton will receive the In The Arena award on Nov. 13, 2018, during a private evening ceremony in the Lady Bird Johnson Auditorium in Austin, Texas. Following the presentation, Secretary Clinton will engage in a conversation before students, community leaders and special guests.
2008 Women of the Year honoree Hillary Clinton spent much of midterms season campaigning for Democrats running for Congress, including Florida politician Donna Shalala and Chicago gubernatorial candidate J.B. Prtizker. So it’s really no wonder she surprised the crowd at Glamour‘s Women of the Year awards for an inspiring speech on the importance of women running for office.
Read the powerful message she delivered to the crowd, below:
“Congratulations to all of the Glamour Women of the Year being honored tonight—don’t they inspire us and give us hope about the future?
“This week, exactly two years ago, was a rough one. But, you know, my personal disappointment wasn’t so much about what happened, but how do we create even more opportunity for all the people in America. ‘An America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted,’ as I said afterward. That remains my mission today.

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report
Hillary because…
She would NEVER have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."
Read the unclassified ARB Report on Benghazi here.
@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!
“You can’t keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. Eventually those snakes are going to turn on whoever has them in the backyard.” HRC
Hillary! Leadership we need!
