Topics discussed include a quote from Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper regarding Jihadi terrorism, a quote by Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver about Canadian greenhouse-gas emissions, and a quote about the impact of the Canadian federal budget on the environment made by Canadian Environment Minister Leona Agluk-kaq.
