I like to think I'm a nice guy.

We've made tremendous successes in clean energy. We should be proud of what we've accomplished.
I believe in it so passionately because anywhere you look in the world, where governments become too big or become authoritarian, speech and expression is one of the first fundamental freedoms to go.
The Conservative Party must be a party for all of its members.
We are and always will be the party of prosperity, not envy.
It was obvious after the '97 election that as long as there were two small-c conservative parties trying to destroy each other, the Liberals would win every election.
We have to stay away from the personal attacks. I think it turns off a lot of Canadians.
I think, at the end of the day, if voters don't see the substance and the merit of the policies you're advocating, it won't matter what you do on social media.
We've shown Canadians that, when we have a strong message and when we stick to our principles, Conservatives can win anywhere.
It's conservative policies that create the conditions for prosperity, and we'll all benefit thanks to that.
Bill Morneau has betrayed the trust of Canadians over and over.
I think it's a disgrace that we're allowing extreme voices in this country to erase our proud heritage.
The Liberals would love to have people believe that the choice is a carbon tax or nothing. I reject that.
Nobody can look back into our history and look at everyone who contributed into our development as a country and find someone who's flawless.
I've made it very clear that the government should get out of the business of trying to affect the markets, of trying to pick winners and losers.

Some people say I smile too much.

The difference between Justin Trudeau and myself is I have had real world experience. I haven't just read books on the middle class and what life is like for them. I've lived it.
As a firearms owner myself, I'm very sympathetic to the concerns that people like me face every day.
Let's make sure that when companies make investments to reduce emissions that they're rewarded for that and encouraged to do more.
Caucus unity always needs to be foremost in the mind of the leader. During a leadership campaign, it's kind of natural that groupings develop, and now I have to make sure that all melts away.
Are we better off if we displace jobs and investments to other countries and global emissions go up? I say no. Let's bring that production here and have less emissions globally because we can make things more efficiently and cleaner.
On NAFTA, the Canadian Parliament... is united. We have our partisan differences. When we hold the government to account, as is our role in our parliamentary system, we will absolutely point out what we think they should be doing differently. But when it comes to our relationship with the United States, we do speak with one voice.
Justin Trudeau had a message of asking Canadians to have trust in our immigration system. The problem is Canadians don't have trust in the Liberals to manage it.
If a factory closes down here and pops up in China where they don't have access to clean technology, clean energy, then the world is not better off.
Look - 'sunny ways' don't pay the bills. You have to have opportunities.
I view Indigenous Canadians as an integral part of our society, proud of their contribution to Canadian history, great deal of respect for all they did pre-Confederation, the way that they have been partners in building this society we have, and I'm very proud to represent a dozen First Nations communities in my own riding.
A leader's job is to find common ground.
We all have an obligation to pass on a better environment to our kids.
I'm a big believer in freedom and people's rights to express themselves and not have government interfere in that type of thing.
I want to be very honest with members about what I can offer, and I don't want to run in a leadership campaign promising things that I know are unachievable or would be very impractical to try to introduce.
The Conservative party under my leadership will continue to be an inclusive, welcoming party that welcomes not only immigrants but also refugees and ensures that Canada plays its role in welcoming people from difficult situations.
The biggest reason we know Justin Trudeau will raise taxes is because his never-ending deficits will force him to.
We have to be very realistic as a party as to what we're promising Canadians going into the 2019 election.
No matter what the issue is, conservative principles are always better for people than big-government, liberal principles.
I would like there to be an entity, a person with some authority, to interact with government, with officials, to advocate on behalf of firearms owners.

While millionaire Liberals like Justin Trudeau may want higher gas prices, hardworking Canadian families definitely do not.

I'm proud to say that we are the party of Canada's first prime minister, the father of our federation, and the visionary who made this land possible.
I will not introduce legislation to reopen divisive issues or to reopen issues that have already been settled by previous governments.
I've got five kids. I want them to have a cleaner environment.
We've seen the government give out subsidies to companies, those companies turn around and use it for executive bonuses.
I have a very inquisitive mind, and I like to know. Like, if somebody uses a term and I don't understand, I always look it up.
My job is to make sure our caucus and our movement is united. That means not bringing up divisive issues that would divide even our own party.
