I think Paul Martin doesn't mean what he says. He said he would clear this sort of thing up and he didn't do it.

Unfortunately it has become clear that Paul Martin and his team are not cut from the same cloth as Lester Pearson or Pierre Trudeau. And so, most Canadians think it's time for a change.

He's not going to be able to do a lot that's different from Paul Martin.

I'd put it this way: Canadians want politicians to work together on their behalf. So that's what I'm committed to doing. I think it's been the goal of every NDP leader. Because we had a profound belief that we could do a good job on behalf of Canadians... if we were given that opportunity.

Everyone always says that we're too showy. We think that's hilarious. I mean, you come to a show to see a show, yet we're too showy...hypocrisy my friends.

Steve Martin is such an exquisite and precise writer. Everything is so clear; it's like a bell. He says what he means and says it so beautifully.
