inspirational middle radical
We are in the extreme centre, the radical middle. That is our position.
queens thinking government
Canadians should realise when they are well off under the Monarchy. For the vast majority of Canadians, being a Monarchy is probably the only form of government acceptable to them. I have always been for parliamentary democracy and I think the institution of Monarchy with the Queen heading it all has served Canada well.
justice may want
I want to separate sin from crime. You may have to ask forgiveness for your sins from God, but not from the Minister of Justice. There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.
country strong home
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
people
I've been called worse things by better people.
men guests conversation
I never actually got around to taping conversations with my guests, but there are a lot of things you can learn from a man like Nixon.
citizens goes-on bilingualism
Bilingualism is not an imposition on the citizens. The citizens can go on speaking one language or six languages, or no languages if they so choose. Bilingualism is an imposition on the state and not the citizens.
country smart thinking
I just think you Westerners should take over this country if you are so smart.
loyalty country joy
We must now establish the basic principles, the basic values and beliefs which hold us together as Canadians so that beyond our regional loyalties there is a way of life and a system of values which make us proud of the country that has given us such freedom and such immeasurable joy.
country cutting two
You just cannot cut a country in two any more than you can cut a human being in two. If you do, you do not have two human beings; you have a corpse.
wisdom passion reason
Le raison avant la passion - Reason over passion.
country baseball rain
Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.
country believe together
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.
good-luck opportunity preparation
Luck, that's when preparation and opportunity meet.
