I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.
We've got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed.
I think that if we get back to some basic fundamental principles we can make sure that we resolve the issues. And I think that that's what the Tea Party was all about. It's getting back to a constitutional conservative government. And that is limited but it's also effective and efficient. I think that that's what we'll be able to do.
For me journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government.
I love and always have loved policy issues and trying to have an impact on the issues that are out there. I cherish my years in government. I have loved my participation at CNN at Current writing teaching. Where I will go next I will have to sort out.
We'll support the government on issues if it's essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians.
And I've come to the place where I believe that there's no way to solve these problems these issues - there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace unless we solve it through God unless we solve it in being our highest self. And that's a pretty tall order.
I have my flaws and my issues past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know I'm vulnerable too and each one of us is.
I hope that we can continue this cooperation on other critical issues related to America's future technological competitiveness. We must work together to encourage the creative talents that have made our country the world leader in technology.
The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making primarily at the federal level and the big issues of the day are not being addressed leaving our future in jeopardy.
