All War Aims For Impunity.

I'm Very Struck By What You Can Do In A Classroom. I've Got 200 Students. You Don't Do Partisan Politics In A Classroom, That's Not Appropriate. But You Want To Give Them A Strong Sense That These Are The Issues That Matter.

I Teach Students That What People Say About Failure In Politics Is Mostly Wrong. People Always Told Me, 'they'll Praise You On Your Way Up And Kick You On Your Way Down.' That Wasn't My Experience. I Can't Walk Down The Street In Toronto Without Someone Coming Up And Saying Hello.

There Are All Kinds Of Different Forms Of Public Service, But There's No Form Of Public Service That Can Make More Difference For More People Than Partisan Political Activity.

The Conservatives Hold Rural Places Because They Keep Bombarding Rural Canada With, "liberals Are A Bunch Of Urban, Metropolitan Snobs Who Don't Care About You And Want To Leave You Dead By The Roadside." We've Simply Got To Go Out And Say, "they're Lying To You About Us. We Actually Care About You More Than The Other Guys, And We're Not Going To Pander To Your Prejudices - We're Going To Give Hope To Your Kids."

The Party's Got To See Itself As Being One Public Service Organization In A Very Competitive Field, All Of Whom Are Competing For The Allegiance And Commitment And Brains Of The Next Generation. They've Got To Be Big Enough To Reach Out To Those Groups And Say "come On In."
