1) It was not the opening line in the CEO's letter.

2) You excluded the very next sentence, taking the CEO's position on the dividend out of context.

"Our dividend is an important component of our total shareholder return. We strive to provide a strong and sustainable dividend to our shareholders." 

In my view, this is preparatoy language for a dividend cut. Otherwise, why not just say words to the effect that "We have every intention of maintaining AQN's current dividend"? With wording similar to this, they could signal that they are serious about keeping the dividend as is while still providing them an out if a cut eventually becomes necessary. Of course, you wouldn't make such a statement as the one I suggested then cut the dividend before the next scheduled quarterly payout, so I think the CEO's wording makes a cut more likely, not less.
