Stephen Harper quotes about
Obviously we would expect the head of state to be a supporter of the state. I don't think there should be any doubt about that
It really is up to Mr. Layton to decide how long he's prepared to support the Liberal Party and its waste and corruption.
He's decided to support the Government. If he changes that view, look, I'm sure (we) will get together as quickly as possible.
I like the position we're in. I think we're ready for an election. I think we've got the members, the money and candidates and the support we need to have an election at any time.
All indications I've had to this point is that Mr. Layton still will not support a motion to bring down the government,
It will come as no surprise to anybody to know that I support the traditional definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others, as expressed in our traditional common law.

It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.

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.
