As the crisis in Syria grows and the humanitarian tragedy becomes more clear, I appreciated Prime Minister Netanyahu's perspective on the changes and volatility in the region.

This past year has been very turbulent for the Middle East, and my conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu strengthened my belief that we need to remain vigilant in our support of our critical ally.

I have never been bribed as a Prime Minister.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

I'd be prouder still to say I was Canada's 10th woman prime minister.

Of course I'd have loved to be Prime Minister. But I'm not nursing a grievance.
