I don't think spending time in Ottawa is a good use of my time as the leader.

My worst fashion faux pas: probably orange shoes with white pants. I thought I looked spectacular.

I have no baggage in politics. I've never been a politician. I don't owe anybody anything.

If you want a friend, buy a dog.

What I'm trying to do is immerse myself.

Until Americans feel that their core asset - their homes - are stabilized, they are not going to have the animal spirits and they will continue to have less buying power.

Canada has always been ready for the truth. I think they actually appreciate a politician or anybody as a leader who tells the truth.
