It's the idea that we just have to go along, we can't change it, things won't change. I think that's the sad part, the sad reality traditional parties have bred in parts of Atlantic Canada.

More quotes by Stephen Harper
What we clearly need is experimentation with market reforms and private delivery options [in health care].
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've always been clear, I support the traditional definition of marriage.
Stephen Harper
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
Canada remains alienated from its allies, shut out of the reconstruction process to some degree, unable to influence events. There is no upside to the position Canada took.
Stephen Harper
You don't defend national sovereignty with flags, cheap election rhetoric, and advertising campaigns.
Stephen Harper
We also support the exploration of alternative ways to deliver health care. Moving toward alternatives, including those provided by the private sector, is a natural development of our health care system.
Stephen Harper
If you want to diminish the number of abortions, you've got to change hearts and not laws.
Stephen Harper
I do think that all economies need a sense of fiscal discipline especially over the midterm and if you are in the middle of a debt crisis you can't borrow your way out of a debt crisis. That's logically impossible.
Stephen Harper
I don't get into that second guessing of myself publicly.
Stephen Harper
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature.
Stephen Harper
If Ottawa giveth, then Ottawa can taketh away.
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
We've got to see a state where the Afghan government can handle its own day-to-day security.
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 know economists will say well, we could run a small deficit but the problem is that once you cross that line as we see in the United States, nothing stops deficits from getting larger and larger and spiralling out of control.
Stephen Harper
There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept.
Stephen Harper
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.
Stephen Harper
For taxpayers, however, it’s [pay equity] a rip-off. And it has nothing to do with gender. Both men and women taxpayers will pay additional money to both men and women in the civil service. That’s why the federal government should scrap its ridiculous pay equity law.
Stephen Harper
I have no difficulty with the recognition of civil unions for non-traditional relationships but I believe in law we should protect the traditional definition of marriage.
