For me, I don't have to defend myself that I am not a racist. I won't go in that discussion.

You must build public policies on reason, on facts.

You cannot build public policies on sentiment, on panic and fear.

I talk about economic freedom. I talk about capitalism without fearing the word.

They call me the Albertan of Quebec. It stuck.

When we tolerate violations to the Constitution, the entire moral foundation of our political system is shaken to its core.

A Constitution is not meant to be a flexible arrangement which evolves from one decade to another depending on political expediency.

We Conservatives believe not in big, interventionist, centralized government. But in small and limited government, government as close to the people as possible.

I want to live in a society where everyone is treated equally and not defined by their race.

I think it's motivating and exalting when we defend ideas that are at the foundation of western civilization.

In reality, every time the government takes an additional dollar in taxes out of someone's pocket, it's a dollar that person will not be able to spend or invest. When government spending goes up, private spending goes down. There is no net effect. No wealth creation.

To stimulate the economy, we need to give entrepreneurs the means to create wealth.

Prosperity has nothing to do with the quantity of money that we have in our pockets, but rather with the quantity of goods that we can buy.

I hope that more Canadians will become interested in in how the inflation rate target affects our purchasing power, our standard of living and therefore our life.

I may be a dreamer, but I think monetary economics should be a hot topic.

I'm very different from other politicians.

People like authenticity and I think I have the courage of my convictions and am authentic.

What I'm looking for is doing politics like I believe.

I have said many times that racist and bigots are not welcome in our party... The journalists who don't want to recognize this and keep coming back with questions of bigotry can just take a hike.

We cannot be the welfare state of the planet.

You must believe in people. You must give back their money in their own pockets.

We are speaking to the intelligence of Canadians, not to their emotion.

You can save a lot of money when you have responsible and bold policies that are in line with our principles, and we are telling the truth to Canadians.

We want First Nations and these people to be like Canadians on a lot of points of view. Right now, that's not normal that they cannot have running water on reserve. We need to fix that, but it must not be imposed by Ottawa, a top-down bureaucratic decision.
