Stephen Harper quotes about
Let the Liberals complain about facing the people. We're interested in facing the future as a party and a country.
One of the things that has made Canada a great country historically has been our traditionally low crime rate,
Tonight friends, our great country has voted for change, and Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change.
We had a good sleep, we're all excited and we're all feeling pretty upbeat, as you can imagine ... to start rebuilding this great country of ours.
As we end this week, we're campaigning in areas of the country that have been strong Liberal ridings, at least in the recent past, and I notice Mr. Martin is campaigning in Montreal, which was considered not too long ago the strongest set of Liberal ridings in the country. I think at this point that's an encouraging sign.
As a government, our mission is clear. We will act on the collective priorities of Canadians so that our country remains strong, independent and free.

After all, enforced national bilingualism in this country isn't mere policy. It has attained the status of a religion. It's a dogma which one is supposed to accept without question.
There's unfortunately a view of too many people in Atlantic Canada that it's only through government favours that there's going to be economic progress, or that's what you look to That kind of can't-do attitude is a problem in this country but it's obviously more serious in regions that have had have-not status for a long time.
