From the very beginning, I've talked about how we're going to strengthen the middle class in this country.

I think we're pretty much where we need to be on corporate taxes.

Canadians need a plan for jobs and growth.

We're asking those who have done well to do a little more for the people who need it.

If a middle-class family in Shanghai or Guangzhou is looking for a good-quality product, we want them to look at a maple leaf and say, 'OK, it's good quality.'

Canadians want to elect good people to be their voice in Ottawa.

It's always easy to look at either the politics of division or fear as effective tools in politics, but ultimately, even though they can be effective tools to help you get elected, they hinder your ability to actually get the job of building a better future for this country, for this community, done.

I sort of locked into the idea that if I could be the perfect son to both of my parents, well maybe that would be enough to keep them together. And ultimately, obviously, it wasn't. Regardless of what I tried to do. That was a lesson about limitations.

Certainly in a world where terrorism is a daily reality in the news, it's easy for people to be afraid. But the fact is that we laid out very clearly - and Canadians get - that it's actually not a choice between either immigration or security: that of course they go together.

People in the street will either call me 'Prime Minister' or 'Justin.' We'll see how that goes. But when I'm working, when I'm with my staff in public, I'm 'Prime Minister.' I say that if we're drinking beer out of a bottle, and you can see my tattoos, you should be comfortable calling me 'Justin.'

I was a high-school teacher. I am a strong advocate for women's rights, and I'm not a woman.

Income splitting is not a wise investment for Canadians.

People have to know that when you sign a deal with Canada, a change in governments won't immediately scrap the jobs and benefits coming from it.

Politicians are constantly stuck between what is politically expedient and politically beneficial and what is the responsible or right thing to do. It's a tension we all go through.

People are very much worried that our kids are not going to inherit the same opportunities that we inherited from our parents.

I don't feel that I or Canada has to prove anything through big, loud, overt acts.

Canada was built around a very simple premise. A promise that you can work hard and succeed and build a future for yourselves and your kids, and that future for your kids would be better than the one you had.

This is the kind of balance people expect: both environment and the economy - not one or the other.

I'm not going to reduce the choices of Canadians at the ballot box by backroom deals or secret arrangements. I think that's a cause for cynicism more than anything else.

For me, I've always been Justin Trudeau, son of. All my life I've had to know I was carrying a name, and people were paying more attention to what I had to say, and I had to make a choice early on.

Liberals will continue to put forward positive solutions that will help our economy grow and give all Canadians a real and fair chance at success.

I think people understand that if you're going to have a successful economy, you need people's potential to be realized. That means education. It means university education, sure, but it also means training, apprenticeships and various kinds of skills diplomas that we know are necessary.

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.

One of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian prime minister is to get our resources to market.
