It is the duty of Her Majesty's government neither to flap nor to falter.
People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.
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.
The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.
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.
God cannot alter the past though historians can.
All historical experience demonstrates the following: Our earth cannot be changed unless in the not too distant future an alteration in the consciousness of individuals is achieved.
