I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.

As I constantly remind Canadians, there isnt really a Canadian economy anymore. It is a global economy.

We got into a recession because the global economy went into the recession and we're a big exporting nation.

It is inherently dangerous to allow a country, such as Iraq, to retain weapons of mass destruction, particularly in light of its past aggressive behaviour. If the world community fails to disarm Iraq we fear that other rogue states will be encouraged to believe that they too can have these most deadly of weapons to systematically defy international resolutions and that the world will do nothing to stop them.

Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it.

Canada receives the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden with sober satisfaction. Sadly, others will take his place.

I believe very strongly that in this world you have to have values and you have to stand up for your interests and if you don't do those things you're not going to get anywhere.
