A graphic look at what the Governor General said

Gov. Gen. Michaƫlle Jean delivered the federal government's speech from the throne Wednesday.

The image below shows the 150 most frequently used words from that speech. The more often a word was used, the larger it appears in the image. Common words plus government, Canada (and derivatives) and country do not appear. CBC
