The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.
Stephen Harper
Image
It`s all part of the pattern. This is a story of scandal and corruption, investigations, refusals to take responsibility. If this government continues in office, this will continue.

You don't defend national sovereignty with flags, cheap election rhetoric, and advertising campaigns.

If you want to diminish the number of abortions, you've got to change hearts and not laws.

Image
Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.
Stephen Harper
Image
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.

Mr. Speaker, I am sure the picture of the hon. member of the NDP [Svend Robinson] is posted in much more wonderful places than just police stations.

I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.

Withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan... Collect our own revenue from personal income tax... Resume provincial responsibility for health-care policy. If Ottawa objects to provincial policy, fight in the courts... [E]ach province should raise its own revenue for health... It is imperative to take the initiative, to build firewalls around Alberta.

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.

We've got to see a state where the Afghan government can handle its own day-to-day security.
Stephen Harper
Image
I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion.
Stephen Harper
Image
It [referring to calling a Minister Idiot] was probably not an appropriate term, but we support the war effort and believe we should be supporting our troops and our allies and be there with them doing everything necessary to win.
Stephen Harper
Image
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.

Canadians know that the promise of a recession didn't happen because of anything we did here. If you look at all the causes of the recession, problems in mortgage markets, the problems in the banking sector, the problems in government finance in countries like Greece, none of those problems were in present Canada.

You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.

It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.
Stephen Harper

Whether Canada ends up as o­ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion...
Stephen Harper

If we are willing to be still and open enough to listen, wilderness itself will teach us.

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.
