Stephen Harper quotes about
Rather than forcing new Canadians to pay nearly C$1,000 on their arrival, immigrants and their families should be able to keep more of their money in their own pockets to start a new life in Canada.
I think one of the difficulties here is that the Liberal Party has been so badly run and has relied so long on taxpayers' money to supplement its activities that I don't think the Liberal Party has been able to pay for polling, to pay for these other things.
Why is the government not suing the Liberal party to recover the money that was lost or stolen?

The United States defends its sovereignty, Canada will defend its sovereignty.
Is it a nudge? A wink? Precisely what kind of sign is the government looking for?
Each and every day I will assure you of one thing -- I will dedicate myself to making Canada more united, stronger, more prosperous and a safer country.
