And finally, to all Canadians: Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity. We can build a prosperous economy and a society that shares its benefits more fairly. We can look after our seniors. We can offer better futures for our children. We can do our part to save the world's environment. We can restore our good name in the world.

I don't know why we'd need so many more prisons when the crooks seem so happy in the Senate.

So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

If I've tried to bring anything to federal politics, it's the idea that hope and optimism should be at their heart.

Free speech is one of our fundamental principles and it's pretty hard to speak freely when people are yelling at you when it's your turn. That would never be allowed in a classroom or in any other kind of meeting.

Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
