Quote by Stephen Harper

Canadians know that the promise of a recession didn't happen because of anything we did here. If you look at all the causes of the recession, problems in mortgage markets, the problems in the banking sector, the problems in government finance in countries like Greece, none of those problems were in present Canada.

Canadians know that the promise of a recession didn't happen

Summary

This quote suggests that Canadians attribute the absence of a recession in their country to the fact that the issues that caused economic downturns in other nations, such as problems in mortgage markets, banking sectors, and government finances, were not prevalent in Canada. It implies that Canadians believe their own financial stability and prudent decision-making prevented them from being directly affected by the global recession.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.
