There is no more dangerous country in the world today than Pakistan.

My gut tells me and continues to tell me that the Conservative party is on a road back to government.

We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option.

If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We've gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one.

I don't think we're ever going to be in a position where we can say this is the template, this is the checklist, that must be met [for intervention].

It's not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway.

I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties.
