My personal political convictions are rooted in the populist political traditions of western Canada.

Canada is the only country founded on the relentless pursuit of the rodent.

There is a whole school of Canadian academics, media personalities, and politicians whose definition of a Canadian is a North American who fears or dislikes the United States.

Do not ghettoize society by putting people into legal categories of gender, race, ethnicity, language, or other such characteristics.

My personal political convictions are rooted in the populist political traditions of western Canada.

The role of the federal government should be neutral toward culture just as it is toward religion.

For many years I have advocated 'redesigning Parliament' in a variety of ways - elect the Senate, do away with the 'confidence convention,' permit freer voting, strengthen the role of back benchers and committees, do away with ineffectual 'take note' debates, restructure question period, and so on.

I guess I'd like to get old and die, in that order.

I was dissatisfied with the status quo back in the 80's, particularly how the West was represented in federation. I wanted to try to change it.

Remember the referendum on the Charlottetown constitutional accord? The more Canada's political and business elites threatened Canadians that the country would disappear into a black hole if the accord weren't passed, the more Canadians opposed it.

There are more effective ways of tackling environmental problems including global warming, proliferation of plastics, urban sprawl, and the loss of biodiversity than by treaties, top-down regulations, and other approaches offered by big governments and their dependents.

What used to be considered conservative values... are increasingly becoming more mainstream values.

When political and business leaders tell the public - any public - 'We don't trust you to make the right decision' - they prejudice that electorate against the very proposals they want it to accept and undermine public confidence in themselves.

When the initial effort of political and business leaders to influence public opinion on an issue is to threaten rather than to engage and persuade, they further arouse public opposition rather than win support.

When we classify an issue as a 'shield issue' it is usually because we feel that someone else occupies the high ground on that issue. We feel we can't win on that issue and so we adopt a defensive posture.

I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.

Yet there is disappointment in Washington and in the United States that Canada is not supporting us fully.

Canada is hockey.

Another turn in my life happened when I took on the Canada Council.

Two races share today the soil of Canada. These people had not always been friends. But I hasten to say it. There is no longer any family here but the human family. It matters not the language people speak, or the altars at which they kneel.

My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.

I'd be prouder still to say I was Canada's 10th woman prime minister.

An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn't take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I'd found a friend for life.

Not so much in Canada, but certainly in the US, as I'm sure you know, money is all, and if they can get another 26 programs of the same thing even though it advances the culture or those actor's careers not at all it doesn't matter.

Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads. Stretching on and on, one province to the next. With only the stars in the distance.

We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.

My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada, and stay Canadian, bringing to Canada a part of its richness.

In Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Canada has at last produced a political leader worthy of assassination.

Our expanding Canadian operations are concrete evidence of General Motors confidence in Canada.

Americans are a decade behind Canada when it comes to sex education and understanding their bodies.

I've never seen anything like it since. Some of the Canada Cups came close, but by then a lot of European players came and played in our league so we were more familiar with them.

The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he'd like to help, but he's pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army.

I am truly sorry that a fowl of Canada is no longer with us.

The joke newspaper, it says Canada abandons the monarchy.

Canada is preparing to play a major role in the continued stability and security of Afghanistan through ISAF.

As a people, we know what we can do, we know how to do it, and we just want to get on with it. How? By ensuring that Canada's place in the world is one of influence and pride.

Canada has always been a strong supporter of China's accession to the WTO... We look forward to playing a constructive role in helping complete China's accession.

But the advice was not taken - Johnstone did emigrate to Canada, and did mortgage his pension; and I fear - though I failed to trace his after history - that he suffered in consequence.

I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

The number of people who left for the United states and Canada increased with every year.

I lived in a small town. It was 2,000 people in Canada. A little river that went through it and we swam in the - you know, there was a lot of water around. Niagara Falls was about four or five miles away.

At the first general meeting of this Corporation in 1820, his Lordship presided; a circumstance, which may well be considered an era in the history of the Church of Upper Canada.

There is a big cry in California to stop everyone from running to Canada.

The world is now unipolar and contains o-nly o-ne superpower. Canada shares a continent with that superpower.

God has made Canada one of those nations which cannot be conquered and cannot be destroyed, except by itself.

I love working in Canada. The ovation is great. It makes me feel like I'm the top dog.

Individual scientists like myself - and many more conspicuous - pointed to the dangers of radioactive fallout over Canada if we were to launch nuclear weapons to intercept incoming bombers.

I don't have any respect at all for the scum-bags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share.

It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw.
