After All, Enforced National Bilingualism In This Country Isn't Mere Policy. It Has Attained The Status Of A Religion. It's A Dogma Which One Is Supposed To Accept Without Question...

There's Unfortunately A View Of Too Many People In Atlantic Canada That It's Only Through Government Favours That There's Going To Be Economic Progress, Or That's What You Look To That Kind Of Can't-do Attitude Is A Problem In This Country But It's Obviously More Serious In Regions That Have Had Have-not Status For A Long Time.

We'll Support The Government On Issues If It's Essential To The Country But Our Primary Responsibility Is Not To Prop Up The Government, Our Responsibility Is To Provide An Opposition And An Alternative Government For Parliament And For Canadians.

I Think When Ordinary Working People Come Home, Turn On The Tv And See A Gala Of A Bunch Of People At, You Know, A Rich Gala All Subsidized By Taxpayers Claiming Their Subsidies Aren't High Enough, When They Know Those Subsidies Have Actually Gone Up - I'm Not Sure That's Something That Resonates With Ordinary People.

I Think People Should Elect A Cat Person. If You Elect A Dog Person, You Elect Someone Who Wants To Be Loved. If You Elect A Cat Person, You Elect Someone Who Wants To Serve.
