Stephen Harper quotes about
I think Mr. Martin is making a mistake talking about issues no one wants to talks about ... and instead not telling people why they should vote for his party.
Tonight friends, our great country has voted for change, and Canadians have asked our party to take the lead in delivering that change.
I want the best people in my cabinet. And I want to broaden the base of our party beyond those who voted for it.
We were committed at the time of the convention, and through the last debate, to put a free vote to the next Parliament on this issue, ... It will be a genuinely free vote when I am prime minister. I will not whip the cabinet; cabinet can vote as they want.
We're not going to try to force a vote unless we think we can win it.
I'm willing to face the voters any time. I'm confident that we'll do well,
I don't think any federalist leader should be urging people to vote for the Bloc.
I don't think we can ever be sure we will have Mr. Layton's votes unless he is in on the motion itself. And to this point he's indicated no willingness to do that.
If you want your taxes to go down, you have to vote for it. If you want a government that actually does something about crime, you have to vote for it. If you want to fix health care, you have to vote for it. If you want choice in child care, you have to vote for it. And the only way to get that is to vote for a new Conservative government.
If you want your taxes to go down, you have to vote for it.
I've told my caucus repeatedly, if you make conservatism relevant to ordinary working people, you make the most powerful political philosophy in Western democratic society. Where Conservative parties are successful, and successful on a sustained basis, that's what they do.
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.
