Stephen Harper quotes about
Our government will build a new and dynamic voice for federalism in Quebec.
I think it's an innovative proposal. It's trying to address things that concern us all,
I think things are looking up, but you don't know until people actually go into the voting booth.
I think that we should obviously have good relations whenever possible with our closest ally and our biggest customer. I would hope to talk to the president very closely to start us on that track. But that's not going to take us off fighting on specific Canadian interests.
I think the ad that basically tries to suggest ... that we'd impose martial law or some such things has not only angered our soldiers and our veterans, it raises serious credibility questions once again.
He's decided to support the Government. If he changes that view, look, I'm sure (we) will get together as quickly as possible.
He's aware of our position. The ball is in his court now.
Our party will make those decisions in our own way and in our own time,
If the special envoy were to conclude that this is not a direction in which the United States wishes to go, then Canada will have to make other long-term choices in its economic infrastructure,
If that's the case, then obviously we'll have options to talk about.
I always say, it doesn't matter how busy I am and how early in the morning it is. The one thing I can always manage to get energy for is to see my kid (Ben) play hockey. I love my job as prime minister, but if you could be a hockey player, I mean, what could be better than that?
I always took the view and still take the view that we weren't going to pressure Peter, that this was an important decision, he should take some time to make it.
I actually think the (U.S.) ambassador's intervention was inappropriate... I don't think foreign ambassadors should be expressing their views, or intervening in an election.
Our mission is clear. We will restore faith and trust in our public institutions as we keep Canada strong and united.
