My first official consulting job, therefore, was for a scrap metal dealer (he resented the term "junk dealer") in East Edmonton named Benny Sugarman.

Why not learn from the positive aspect of Canadian populism, which is the way to deal with it? Learn from the negative side, but it's more important to learn from the positive side, because it's an enormous amount of energy.

Negative is always more newsworthy than positive.

Where you find all the worries about immigration, I think the way to handle that is to listen to the person that's got concerns, and then try to move that in a positive direction, as opposed to decrying it and saying, 'Don't even raise that, you can't raise that.'

A revolutionary should neither look or act like one to get ahead in Canada.

New Canada must be workable without Quebec, but it must be open and attractive enough to include a New Quebec.

In many respects, my best friends were dogs.
