I thought very seriously having something more like a normal life where I might have my weekends and evenings off, and be able to read and have a more robust personal life.

It's easier for opposition members to condemn the government at the drop of a hat if they don't understand.

Rural Alberta is a lot less homogeneous than it used to be, partly because of my immigration policies.

Sometimes the government has to answer questions with ambiguous language.

For members who have only ever been in government, the negativity and aggressiveness of the opposition is easy to caricature.

I do believe there is absolutely space for legitimate debate in a liberal democracy about immigration selection, screening and integration.

Sometimes there are no good choices for government.

I think I've chosen the right path.

I have said explicitly from day one when I announced this policy in, I believe, November of 2011, that I and our government oppose the idea of banning the wearing of the niqab in public.

Finally, as I've said, this is - why are you talking about Jewish women's wigs and people wearing turbans? That has nothing whatsoever to do with niqab.

I think very few people in Canada are seeking - to regulate any public expressions of individuals' religions.

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

Liberals love to strike generous, humanitarian poses with other people's lives.

Every game designer should make one explicitly world-changing game. Lawyers do pro bono work, why can't we?

I've become accustomed to supporting politicians who are more conservative than I am. This is not entirely a surprise.

One day we'll sit and you'll lay it out on the table, neat like a solitaire deck, but now - why, you can't find all the cards.

Time has been used destructively by people of ill will much more than it has been used constructively by those of good will.

Your early successes can be your undoing later.

I'm many things: I'm a convicted rapist, I'm a hell-raiser, I'm a father, a loving father. I'm a semi-good husband...I'm pretty much a tyrant-titan.

There is nothing more powerful as attitude.

Idolatry happens when we take good things and make them ultimate things
