I've repeated it 100 times and I'm going to look you in the eye, tonight, Mr. Couillard: there will be no referendum as long as Quebecers aren't ready.

Hey, the bait is here. Get in Quebecers, get in the lobster trap, and then we'll close the door. And you'll have a referendum no matter what.

Quebec's distinct character makes Canada an even better country, and vice versa: being in Canada makes Quebec a better place too.

A big mistake in politics is to think that because an issue appears to have been settled, it doesn't exist anymore. You just sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist.

In Quebec, we can no longer increase taxes if we want to stay competitive.

In Quebec, our goal isn't to reduce daycare service - a program the entire world envies - but to make it viable so tomorrow's families can keep benefiting from it.

Quebec's financial situation is serious. In terms of intensity, we're close to matching 1982 and 1997. We won't do the same things this time, but the problems we face today are about as pressing.

Not only in Canada but in other countries where we have to rely on immigration for our growth, the question of coexistence of values in communities is important. It has to be dealt with.

We have to redesign the finances of the Quebec state to preserve what counts: education, health and families.

You can't stop a reform in the middle. You do it completely and pretty fast, or you don't do it.

I think this is a line in the sand for many Quebecers and Canadians: That if you're going to give services or receive services, your face should be uncovered.

You must create the right kind of dream, the sober, adult kind of magic: illusion born from disillusion.

I love pleasure of reading, writing and dancing.

A man prone to suspect evil is mostly looking in his neighbor for what he sees in himself.

We are a nation of politicians, concerned about the outmost defenses only of freedom. It is our children's children who may perchance be really free.

That soul is dead to which the Spirit of Christ is not given in the work of regeneration; and all its works are dead works.

A good drawing has immense vitality because it is explanatory. In a good drawing even its faults have become virtues.

I love not being in a comfortable state, anyway. That makes for much more interesting storylines and an interesting story.

I'm not the type of person who enjoys the limelight.

Vote Love means vote equality. It means vote change. It means vote whats right for humanity.

I think my kids are pretty well-rounded citizens of the world.
