I think that we should obviously have good relations whenever possible with our closest ally and our biggest customer. I would hope to talk to the president very closely to start us on that track. But that's not going to take us off fighting on specific Canadian interests. |
I think the ad that basically tries to suggest ... that we'd impose martial law or some such things has not only angered our soldiers and our veterans, it raises serious credibility questions once again. |
I think the U.S. ambassador is way out of line, |
I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so. |
I think there is a dangerous rise in defeatist sentiment in this country. I have said that repeatedly, and I mean it and I believe it. |
I think things are looking up, but you don't know until people actually go into the voting booth. |
I think what I've tried to lay out to the Canadian people is that we would take a middle-road approach. I don't think we're going to be able to have a lot of other stuff. |
I want the best people in my cabinet. And I want to broaden the base of our party beyond those who voted for it. |
I would prefer to do it sooner rather than later but not immediately. |
I'd anticipated the Liberals would want to delay the election at least until the spring, if not longer, ... But look, if there's a necessity to have a fall election and the NDP ceases to prop up the government, that could still happen. |
I'll believe it the day I see it. |
I'll only make promises I know we can afford and we can keep. |
I'm confident of their judgment and if the Liberal party shares the same confidence, they're free to call an election. |
I'm confident the budget will be well-received by Canadians. |
I'm interested in what credible critics say about me. I think Mr. Martin's credibility is reflected in the false and misleading ads that he's running. |
