Sometimes there are no good choices for government.

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.

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.

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.

You’re a lady. It’s written all over you, but the West doesn’t forgive any woman-unless she’s got a man.

I can party like a twenty-four-year-old but it takes me almost a week to recover.

Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.

NBC's The West Wing is an icon for bad stories; Gitmo is a place where we keep an eye on evil, dangerous people who want to kill us.

For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.

A new report shows that medicare and Medicaid made more than $50 Billion in bad payments during fiscal year 2011. Under Obamacare, that'll become known as 'Tuesday.'

A truth that is merely handed on, without being thought anew from its very foundations, has lost its vital power.

I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.
