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
The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.
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
I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.

Stephen Harper
What we clearly need is experimentation with market reforms and private delivery options [in health care].
Stephen Harper
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature.
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
If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.
Stephen Harper
There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept.
Stephen Harper
I do not intend to dispute in any way the need for defence cuts and the need for government spending cuts in general. I do not share a not in my backyard approach to government spending reductions.
Stephen Harper
I think when ordinary working people come home, turn on the TV and see a gala of a bunch of people at, you know, a rich gala all subsidized by taxpayers claiming their subsidies aren't high enough, when they know those subsidies have actually gone up - I'm not sure that's something that resonates with ordinary people.
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
We got into a recession because the global economy went into the recession and we're a big exporting nation.
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
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.
