I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.

I am so excited about Canadians ruling the world.

I have always been a House of Commons man.

I have one love - Canada; one purpose - Canada's greatness; one aim - Canadian unity from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

There can be no dedication to Canada's future without a knowledge of its past.

You can't stand up for Canada with a banana for a backbone.

I've got all of my enemies here in the Cabinet where I can keep an eye on them.
