More Stephen Harper quote about:

“I'm not trying to be diplomatic. I'm trying to be more nuanced and realistic. I think there has to be a serious examination of the shortcomings of the Euro structure. Euro central institutions, whether it be fiscal policy, monetary policy, financial regulation, are simply not as robust as they are in a currency that has a national government behind it.”
-- Stephen Harper

“The media is tremendously important for all governments that are able to communicate through the it.

-- Stephen Harper

-- Stephen Harper

They had the courts do it for them, they put the judges in they wanted, then they failed to appeal -- failed to fight the case in court...

-- Stephen Harper
