Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.

My life is one long curve, full of turning points.

I believe in life after death.

I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.

It seems to me it would be pretty awful if Canadians came to choose political leaders not for their political ideas and actions, but because of their adherence or their devotedness to one faith or another.

I believe that Canada cannot, indeed, that Canada must not survive by force. The country will only remain united - it should only remain united - if its citizens want to live together in one civil society.

Luck, that's when preparation and opportunity meet.
