Look, Shen Yun is targeting a Canadian institution. Shen Yun is Canadian. Shen Yun performers are Canadian artists.
The analogy with the United States is very interesting. We've been, as a country, standing up to America, our best friends, while doing business and commerce with them now for these many months. We're standing up for our principles. There was a time when Canada stood up for its principles in terms of equality and human rights in relation to Jim Crow in the United States. I was pointing out earlier that Jackie Robinson had to play baseball in Canada. There's Jack Johnson in boxing, as well as and Willie O'Ree, Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
Canada was instrumental in ending Jim Crow in the United States, and at the same time we were doing commerce with the Americans and were standing up for our principles. The analogy is the same with the Eastern bloc during the Cold War and with Ken Dryden and Paul Henderson. There was a time when we, the smaller country, would stand up to bigger institutions.
