Stephen Harper
If Ottawa giveth, then Ottawa can taketh away.
Stephen Harper
If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.
Stephen Harper
Having hit a wall, the next logical step is not to bang our heads against it.
Stephen Harper
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.
Stephen Harper
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.
Stephen Harper
I don't know all the facts on Iraq, but I think we should work closely with the Americans.
Stephen Harper
A transition is taking place in Egypt. In my judgement, there is no going back. I think the old expression, They're not going to put the toothpaste back in the tube on this one.
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
Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.
