I bear solemn witness to the fact that NATO heads of state and of government meet only to go through the tedious motions of reading speeches, drafted by others, with the principal objective of not rocking the boat.

I feel very deeply for Canada, and l believe most Canadians do.

I'm impatient not with the House of Commons as an institution, but with the way in which it is operated. This doesn't prove I don't believe in participatory democracy.

Canada is not a country for the cold of heart or the cold of feet.

We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada.

The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshipped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.

I don't see any easy way of disqualifying people on the basis that they decide not to work.
