Stephen Harper quotes about
That is how I want my time in public office to be. I'm here to do a job. I'm not here to join a club. I'm not here to buy into a lifestyle.
We have in office a corrupt party which now is ignoring the democratically expressed will of the House of Commons. This government does not have the moral authority and the constitutional authority to govern.
This election is about choice: A government plagued by scandal, that is only in it for what it can take, or our new team, who want in to public office for what it can give.
After 17 months in office the record of this government ? or I should say in many instances its lack of record ? has become unacceptable to a large majority of members of the House representing on overwhelming majority of Canadian voters,
I can assure the Canadian public that the Conservative Party, having been out of office for most of the last 100 years, doesn't think it has a divine right to rule, and we're certainly going to listen to what other parties have to say.
I am waiting to hear somebody in the Prime Minister's Office put out some information that is contrary to what we're reading in the papers now,
It`s all part of the pattern. This is a story of scandal and corruption, investigations, refusals to take responsibility. If this government continues in office, this will continue.

I've said for a long time that the Kyoto Protocol won't succeed in achieving its objectives and that this government, our Canadian government, can't achieve the objectives.
The United States defends its sovereignty, the Canadian government will defend our sovereignty. ... It is the Canadian people we get our mandate from, not from the ambassador to the United States.
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.
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.
