More quotes by Stephen Harper
But I'm very libertarian in the sense that I believe in small government and, as a general rule, I don't believe in imposing values upon people.

Stephen Harper
I was asked to speak about Canadian politics. It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians.
Stephen Harper
We've got to see a state where the Afghan government can handle its own day-to-day security.
Stephen Harper
We're not going to scrap the budget and make up some totally new platform the day after the election. So it's certainly willingness to compromise but we're not going back on the fundamental things we're running on in this campaign.
Stephen Harper
I think we're vastly over-invested in universities. Universities should be relatively small and provide excellent education and research in a number of specialized areas. I think the vast majority of young people should be going through non-university, post-secondary training.
Stephen Harper
Buying pollution credits is folly it doesn't help the environment. Instead of using tax dollars to buy credits overseas, we'll use them at home.
Stephen Harper
If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.
Stephen Harper
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature.
Stephen Harper
The treatment of children in Indian residential schools is a sad chapter in our history... Two primary objectives of the residential schools system were to remove and isolate children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture.
Stephen Harper
Restoring accountability will be one of the major priorities of our new government. Accountability is what ordinary Canadians, working Canadians, those people who pay their bills, pay their taxes, expect from their political leaders.
