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.

The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.

First of all I can't forget my first responsibility - which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that's to provide an alternative government.

It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But there is no alternative to the state.

So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.

That's one of the most exciting things about Michigan's future. We need to we must capitalize on our alternative-energy vehicles that we can produce right here.

The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25 50 or perhaps 100 years.

Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.

Clearly society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse.
