    1. The report is correct, that I do have a security protection but I haven't spoken about it.
    2. I don't know what it's connected to, as I said, they should speak to the RCMP about it.

    1. He is one of the most optimistic, one of the strongest people that I've ever known, and he just throws himself into work, more than anyone else.
    2. It is a shocking and horrible thing, and it's totally unacceptable, but what the Islamic Republic of Iran is doing and what others are doing who are bringing terror into our communities.
    3. The man works 24 hours a day on trying to help human rights around the world, and that's what he's focused on, and fighting anti-Semitism here in Canada and around the world.

    2. They're indiscreet. They're often drawing the attention of law enforcement, and they get caught.
    3. It's messier, and it's also a bit of an Achilles heel for these regimes, because they're vulnerable in the sense that these individuals are not operating with good security.
    4. Because of his profile, his status, if you want to deliver a message, he is, I guess, a viable target, that no one is really safe from this type of activity.
