In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half, don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance.
As a religion, bilingualism is the god that failed. It has led to no fairness, produced no unity, and cost Canadian taxpayers untold millions.
There's going to be a new code on Parliament Hill: bend the rules, you will be punished; break the law, you will be charged; abuse the public trust, you will go to prison,
I think it's an innovative proposal. It's trying to address things that concern us all,
It is a great honor and a feeling of great responsibility to be sworn in as the 22nd prime minister of Canada.
I think that we should obviously have good relations whenever possible with our closest ally and our biggest customer. I would hope to talk to the president very closely to start us on that track. But that's not going to take us off fighting on specific Canadian interests.
I think the ad that basically tries to suggest ... that we'd impose martial law or some such things has not only angered our soldiers and our veterans, it raises serious credibility questions once again.
It's the same soap opera. We will continue to assume that Mr. Layton is still bargaining with the Liberal government,
The nature of our constitution is that everyone is supposed to be able to do their own thing in their own area of jurisdiction.
It's never enough to show the country what we are against. We will offer them a positive vision for the future of this country,
I'm not sure anything has changed .... Mr. Layton is not happy with the proposals he's had. He's not been happy with them for a while. And I'm not sure what his next move is, but it seems to me that he's still looking for leverage to get more out of the government rather than let the Canadian people have their say,
I have never been so proud of our great country, and I am honored and overwhelmed to be asked to lead it.
Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change. We will honor your words and deliver on our commitments.
