what geoff canada has shown is that we can actually win the game. >> geoffrey canada may be winning, but he is nowhere near declaring victory. >> reversing the black-white achievement gap and then closing it in elementary school, that's huge. >> it's about an hour's worth of celebration huge. you know, i've got kids who might be shot tomorrow. we've still got a lot of work to do before i can feel comfortable that they're all gonna be okay. >> and the economic crisis has hit canada hard as well. donations are down, and he's laid off staff. his endowment also lost $4 million to bernie madoff. and that money is just gone. >> we basically have written that money off. it's basically gone. >> but canada's experiment did receive a boost when president obama announced plans to create promise neighborhoods across the country modeled after the harlem children's zone. >> if the harlem's children's zone can turn around neighborhoods in new york, then why not detroit or san antonio or los angeles? >> and a lot of students came to school on saturday... >> there are other charter schools getting si

[laughter] i cannot keep up with the comments of my colleague but in terms of our relationship on trade, you have to take care of biggest and most important customer first. you should not go to one dealership in not go to another for a better price. softwood lumber we get different unilateral decisions from the united states but by increasing trade to asia 20 percent then 20 percent then 20% the year after that we are stronger a

the capital of canada's closest neighbor and ally and canada's biggest trading partner. the evolving relationship is why we are here. we are live at the newseum, located on america's main street, pennsylvania avenue, between the white house and the u.s. capitol building. the same stretch of real estate where you will find the canadian embassy, a testament to the closeness of the relationship between our two countries. welcome to those of you watching us on c-span and welcome to our audience here. i am peter van dusen from cpac. it is great to have you here with us this evening. we have come to washington for the second time in as many years. a lot of change in two years. a lot has changed in two months. tonight our topic is -- canada- u.s., what is the future? i think we can expect a lively conversation. this is the latest in the continuing collaboration between cpac and mclean. we have brought guests, all people plugged into the issues we are dealing with this evening. danielle droitsch is the director of the canada program for the national resources defense program. sh

we have two kinds of mailboxes in canada. one are the drop boxes that the mail carriers use, those are the gray ones that are mostly getting tagged: other ones red letter boxes where you are dropping off your mail. those have been wrapped now and we found very little graffiti on the wrapped boxes. we are quite excited that canada post is going to be changes their policies with respect to the gray boxes and they are actually eliminating them. >> that's what we're seeing in arizona, utility companies, whether it's gas, cable, water, their boxes are being tagged. the utility companies making millions of dollars in profit don't want to pay for the clean up because they consider themselves the victim. >> we started serving tickets on them. >> interesting too as far as the boxes, the can canadian postal service has come up with a very busy deco design that is really, it looks very, very nice but if you put a tag on it you can't see the tag. that's been extremely effective. those boxes get tagged i would say 1 in 10 compared to the

ambassador to canada and find that more action by canada on climate change might make it easier for the president to approve keystone. how did you interpret those comments? >> i think it was another opportunity to talk about what we are doing. i believe for the president and for canada, it is both. you can actually improve energy security and in our neighborhood of north america and with vehicle emissions standards, coal plants standards, you will eventually see that in the united states. nobody is replacing a coal plant with coal again. they are replacing it with natural gas. it reduces emissions by 50%. i did not see that as a quid pro quo. when the secretary of state and our minister of foreign affairs met and had a press conference, they talked about both climate change and energy security. we talked about vehicle emissions standards. th minister talked about the action we've taken had the the united states on coal plants in canada. i closed down some coal plants. i thought it was good for our jurisdiction but i think energy efficiency is crucial. energy-efficient homes, buildings,

[laughter] more of our pennies? probably not. thanks to this. >> some economists believe the u.s should do the same. >> will the u.s. follow suit? >> will that mean the end of honest abe here in the u.s.? >> stephen: yes, will that be the end of the lincoln penny. or the new daniel day lewis penny. [laughter] so convincing. [ laughter ] thankfully, some brave patriots are resisting this penny pinch. a group called americans for common cents, which is a delightful play on words because the penny is so common. [laughter] i get it. [cheers and applause] americans for common cents is a lobby group that "aims to inform and educate policymakers, consumers, and the media about the penny's economic, cultural, and historical significance." that's right, historical significance. for instance: did you know, historians tell us there was a time when pennies were useful.

canada and canadians were cheered like much of the americans. many people including the returnees were wearing maple leaves in honor of canada. there was concern somebody might say something that would make the iranian jailers angry at the 53 americans still jailed in iraq. one of the six, robert anders read a careful statement. >> it is difficult to fully express our appreciation for the risks the canadians took to ensure our safety and comfort. they made us feel a part of their family. especially at times such as christmas when our spirits really needed a boost. we thank them for their brave support. >> reporter: then he made a plea for the 53 still in prison. >> we must not and will not forget them. >> reporter: late this afternoon the six american returnees were rushed to the white house. the president was delighted. >> these are six bright americans that knew the people our country loved them but they didn't know how much until they got back to see them, right. >> thises gabe preston in washington. >>> what it takes to get through the tough

canada and the u.s. are the largest supporter in the world we have over $600 billion worth of trade and tree hundred thousand people crossing the border every day. we are linked, we are connected, we are friends and allies and neighbors so that isn't going to change. sometimes neighbors and friends need to have conversations and i think that is what is happening right now is the country's four having conversations about the future and some of that is around the keystone pipeline and the development of the oil sands because this pipeline is 800,000 barrels a day that is the equivalent of putting 6 million cars on the road and signals a direction for the united states and i should mention it is an export pipeline so there is a love of concern about whether it supports the u.s. energy security but in general it's a decision before the president right now about where this country is going to head in terms of climate change, and that is a conversation that i hope we will look at -- >> you can see the rest of

canada is quick to find out the u.s. oil has to come from somewhere. >> people protesting to get more attention in the media than the 65 percent of americans that prefer to get their oil from canada rather than venezuela or the middle east. >> now some people will look at this and say this happens every year. they are right. you have to look at the specific numbers. you compare what's happening this year to last and you see a key difference. this year's numbers in green the price rise has been deeper and ultimately hire. it acts as a tax slowing down the economy. >> before you leave the house this morning let's get the first degree weather update with maria molina. >> some parts of the country could get freezing temperatures. others are warm. >> we have a roerl coaster going on with the country. heyed of each one you will see a slight rise in temperatures. north central in particular. blizzard conditions temperatures in the 30s. temperatures are colder in sij digits. that's what your windchill is. take a look at these wi
