I don't put a lot of stock into polls.

Promising something that seems popular at the time that you know you're never going to deliver - that's the kind of cynical politics that I don't want any part of.

I think Canadians want to get a feel for the people who will serve them... and, for me, I think that Canadians will trust people who trust them.

I have been incredibly lucky all my life. I've had a family that has loved me and given me incredible opportunities. I've gone to great schools. I've travelled across the country.

When my dad left public life, I was 13 years old. I went through my teen years and into adulthood in relative anonymity. After my dad's funeral, I was suddenly recognizable to people I passed on the street.

I am so proud of my family, and I am happy to give them all the limelight they want because heaven knows I got more than I need.

Any decision made by my father was the result of a process that had involved many voices and which sometimes had taken weeks or months.

Canada's extraordinary success is that we have bound together a vast country with a set of shared ideas and beliefs.

I think it's hard to know how one deals in situations of confrontation until you're actually in there, so I'm not going to speculate on what I would do.

I think people are understanding that I'm immensely proud of my father. If people talk to me about him, I'll certainly respond. And there's a certain generation that still talks about him right off. And I take that with gratefulness and with gratitude.

We're looking to make sure things are fair, and we're always looking at ways to lower taxes for the middle class and raise them on the wealthiest one per cent.

We're committed to making sure parents have affordable, quality early learning for their kids - there's no question about it.

Connecting with Canadians isn't about what you say, it's about what you're listening to. It's about what you understand.

The federal government's role is to establish a process whereby industry can pitch a project, and Canadians can be reassured that this project is worth the risk. That's at the heart of governments granting permits and communities granting permission. People understand we do need economic growth. We do need natural resource projects.

There was a perception that I'd grown up with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Ours was not a normal or easy life.

Anytime I meet people who got to make the deliberate choice, whose parents chose Canada, I'm jealous. Because I think being able to choose it, rather than being Canadian by default, is an amazing statement of attachment to Canada.

My father found cocktail parties challenging.

One of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian prime minister is to get our resources to market.

Some people have come to admire Stephen Harper's style because he's standing at the top of the pyramid - that's not leadership to me.

I think people understand that if you're going to have a successful economy, you need people's potential to be realized. That means education. It means university education, sure, but it also means training, apprenticeships and various kinds of skills diplomas that we know are necessary.

Liberals will continue to put forward positive solutions that will help our economy grow and give all Canadians a real and fair chance at success.

For me, I've always been Justin Trudeau, son of. All my life I've had to know I was carrying a name, and people were paying more attention to what I had to say, and I had to make a choice early on.

I'm not going to reduce the choices of Canadians at the ballot box by backroom deals or secret arrangements. I think that's a cause for cynicism more than anything else.

This is the kind of balance people expect: both environment and the economy - not one or the other.

Canada was built around a very simple premise. A promise that you can work hard and succeed and build a future for yourselves and your kids, and that future for your kids would be better than the one you had.

I don't feel that I or Canada has to prove anything through big, loud, overt acts.

People are very much worried that our kids are not going to inherit the same opportunities that we inherited from our parents.

Politicians are constantly stuck between what is politically expedient and politically beneficial and what is the responsible or right thing to do. It's a tension we all go through.

People have to know that when you sign a deal with Canada, a change in governments won't immediately scrap the jobs and benefits coming from it.

Income splitting is not a wise investment for Canadians.

I was a high-school teacher. I am a strong advocate for women's rights, and I'm not a woman.

People in the street will either call me 'Prime Minister' or 'Justin.' We'll see how that goes. But when I'm working, when I'm with my staff in public, I'm 'Prime Minister.' I say that if we're drinking beer out of a bottle, and you can see my tattoos, you should be comfortable calling me 'Justin.'

I have no regrets.

Certainly in a world where terrorism is a daily reality in the news, it's easy for people to be afraid. But the fact is that we laid out very clearly - and Canadians get - that it's actually not a choice between either immigration or security: that of course they go together.

I sort of locked into the idea that if I could be the perfect son to both of my parents, well maybe that would be enough to keep them together. And ultimately, obviously, it wasn't. Regardless of what I tried to do. That was a lesson about limitations.

It's always easy to look at either the politics of division or fear as effective tools in politics, but ultimately, even though they can be effective tools to help you get elected, they hinder your ability to actually get the job of building a better future for this country, for this community, done.

Canadians want to elect good people to be their voice in Ottawa.

If a middle-class family in Shanghai or Guangzhou is looking for a good-quality product, we want them to look at a maple leaf and say, 'OK, it's good quality.'

We're asking those who have done well to do a little more for the people who need it.

Canadians need a plan for jobs and growth.

I think we're pretty much where we need to be on corporate taxes.

From the very beginning, I've talked about how we're going to strengthen the middle class in this country.

We are going to remain an important part of the coalition against ISIL.

My job is to do the best possible job for my country, and I wouldn't want someone else telling me what I should be doing in Canada.

Canadians are tired of being cynical.

I have spent an awful lot of time listening to Canadians, learning from them, working with them.

The Liberal Party will not vote - no Liberal member of Parliament will vote - to take away a woman's right to choose.

Vancouver is home. I spent a huge amount of time here as a kid growing up with my mom, with my grandparents who lived here.

If Rob Ford decided he wanted to run for the Liberal Party in 2015, we'd say, 'No, sorry, the way you approach things, the way you govern, the way you behave is not suitable to the kind of Liberal team we want to build.'
