Sometimes the government has to answer questions with ambiguous language.

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.

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.

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.

to live is not just living but to live with life

It's the quiet little hit that is succeeding totally under the radar, ... NCIS.

A community to be truly community, must have a quality of unselfconsciousness about it.

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.

To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films.
