We are going to remain an important part of the coalition against ISIL.
I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.
Indigenous lives matter.
The Northwest Passage is Canadian. People can't just abuse it.
Canada's extraordinary success is that we have bound together a vast country with a set of shared ideas and beliefs.
My idea of freedom is that we should protect the rights of people to believe what their conscience dictates, but fight equally hard to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.
I think it's always been understood that Canada is not a country that's going to stand up and beat its chest on the world stage, but we can be very helpful in modelling solutions that work.
This is the kind of balance people expect: both environment and the economy - not one or the other.
Income splitting benefits only fifteen per cent, mostly the wealthiest Canadians, but it's paid for by everyone.
My father raised us to step toward trouble rather than to step away from it.
We're going to make sure there is a strong price on carbon right across the country, and we're hoping that the provinces are going to be able to do that, in a way, for themselves.
CBC has a very important mandate to bind Canada together in both official languages, tell local stories, and make sure we have a sense of our strength, our culture, our stories.
Some people have come to admire Stephen Harper's style because he's standing at the top of the pyramid - that's not leadership to me.
Leadership is inspiring extraordinary people to step up and serve their country.
I have spent an awful lot of time listening to Canadians, learning from them, working with them.
My father, his values were anchored in the time, but they were also timeless, whether it's bilingualism, multiculturalism or the charter of rights and freedoms.
The fact is, Canada needs investment, particularly in infrastructure.
I know and I've always felt for Canada that we recognize that diversity is a great source of strength.
The federal government shouldn't be drawing lines on a map in terms of what transit infrastructure are needed; we should be there to be a partner with the cities, with the provinces, that need that.
I'm not worried too much about left, right spectrum; I'm worried about what's actually going to work to help Canadians who are worried about their own jobs, about their kids' jobs.
From the very beginning, I've talked about how we're going to strengthen the middle class in this country.
My job is to do the best possible job for my country, and I wouldn't want someone else telling me what I should be doing in Canada.
As a prime minister, my job is not to try and influence or opine on what a leader of a different country should be doing.
There is no debate about whether or not climate change is happening. We will deal with it as a challenge. But we also take it as an opportunity to invest.
In regards to the United States, Canadians expect me to stand up for our values and defend our interests and to have a constructive relationship with our largest trading partner and closest neighbour.
We went through a long phase where we defined ourselves in opposition to other people and other countries.
One of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian prime minister is to get our resources to market.
We're looking to make sure things are fair, and we're always looking at ways to lower taxes for the middle class and raise them on the wealthiest one per cent.
We need to make sure that everyone's pulling their weight and doing their fair share. Canadians get that, including the wealthy Canadians I talk to.
I think Canada has a great story, and I'm glad to tell it. And if there's a moment where the world is paying a little more attention to Canada, well, I think it's important to try and capitalize on that.
