I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.

You either make it illegal, in which case you support a huge underground economy or you tax it within the limits people can afford.

I see negotiations as an honest attempt to reach a deal that's great for everyone at the table. But sometimes, for whatever reason, that's impossible. You need to accept that possibility-don't make a deal for the sake of making a deal. If you do, chances are it will fall apart later anyway, with costs and headaches for everyone involved. And once you walk away, don't come back.

Know everything about the companies and people you are going to be negotiating with. Insist on getting the names of everyone participating in the negotiations. Leave no stone unturned; find out as much as you can.

You can't regulate a soul into a business.

I'm not going to leave Canada, I'm going to fix it.

Being an employee is a bad outcome. You want to avoid that. Being an employee is never a good outcome. That's just an opinion.
