Hello.

0:11

You've been eating Pop-Tarts.

0:14

(Laughter)

0:16

I resisted. It looks fantastic though.

0:20

Well now, what a day we're having, absolutely inspirational, fantastic.

0:25

I saw Romeo Dallaire remark on these geese earlier on,

0:32

and I considered these geese, Canada geese.

0:35

They're all over the world, you know.

0:38

(Laughter)

0:40

They're taking over the world. A bit like Shakespeare.

0:46

Shakespeare surrounds us.

0:50

The Shakespeare we're enormously familiar with,

0:53

but the Shakespeare that we know and we don't know.

0:58

And of course, every day, we're quoting Shakespeare but we don't know it.

1:04

Shakespeare – We don't know a great deal about the man.

1:08

What we know about him is generally through his works.

1:12

He was a man, just like you and me,

1:16

he lived his life, felt great joy and great sadness,

1:20

tremendous success and great tragedy.

1:25

In Canada – talk about Shakespeare surrounding us –

1:30

we have the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario,

1:33

that's the biggest theatre festival, I might add, in North America.

1:38

We have... that's right!

1:41

(Applause)

1:43

We have Bard on the Beach Shakespeare here in Vancouver.

1:46

We've got Shakespeare festivals in between. In America,

1:48

Americans love their Shakespeare,

1:50

they have Ashland, Oregon,

1:51

lots of Shakespeare's festivals through America.

1:54

You have The Globe in London,

1:56

and, of course, The Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon.

2:02

So, Shakespeare is alive and well, but since you leapt out of bed this morning,

2:08

and you've had this wonderful day here,

2:11

I'm sure most of you are very much unaware

2:14

that you've been quoting Shakespeare all day.

2:18

Let me give you a bunch of examples.

2:22

First of all, I want you to do something for a change.

2:26

When I point at you and beckon you on,

2:28

I want you to say, "Quoting Shakespeare".

2:32

Now, come on, with all that energy from the Pop-Tarts,

2:35

give it a go.

2:36

Audience: Quoting Shakespeare!

2:38

That's pretty good. Once more, even louder

2:41

Audience: Quoting Shakespeare!

2:43

If you cannot understand my argument and declare, "It's Greek to me", you are...

2:49

Audience: Quoting Shakespeare!

2:51

If you claim to be, "More sinned against than sinning", you are...

2:55

Audience: Quoting Shakespeare!
