The country already has a leader who divides us with the bitter politics of envy. We have to offer an alternative vision.
Liberalism is I think resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.
I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.

The Leader of the Opposition's constitutional obligation - the obligation to Parliament - it's the reason we did the merger! - is to make sure Canadians have an alternative for government.
First of all I can't forget my first responsibility - which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that's to provide an alternative government.
It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But there is no alternative to the state.
