My personal political convictions are rooted in the populist political traditions of western Canada.

There are more effective ways of tackling environmental problems – including global warming, proliferation of plastics, urban sprawl, and the loss of biodiversity – than by treaties, top-down regulations, and other approaches offered by big governments and their dependents.

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.

Do not ghettoize society by putting people into legal categories of gender, race, ethnicity, language, or other such characteristics.

In Canada, what I find what people are afraid of or worried about is politicians who denigrate the importance of the resource sectors, which are the basis of our trading capacity.

In many respects, my best friends were dogs.
