Maxime Bernier

“The Conservative Party has abandoned conservatives.”

“Canadians are a compassionate people and we should be. But at what cost?”

“We care about shared values, culture and identity.”

“I am saying to Canadians, there is no climate emergency in this country.”

“We cannot be the welfare state of the planet.”

“I hope that more Canadians will become interested in in how the inflation rate target affects our purchasing power, our standard of living and therefore our life.”

“I have people on Twitter that they know better my own platform than myself.”

“I don't care one bit about people's race or skin colour.”

“I have said many times that racist and bigots are not welcome in our party... The journalists who don't want to recognize this and keep coming back with questions of bigotry can just take a hike.”

“I know many Canadians are fed up with the traditional way of doing politics.”

“I believe in climate change.”

“You have to stick to your principles and when you believe in something, to fight for it.”

“We must give less money to these provinces, like my own province of Quebec, and give them the right incentive to develop their own natural resources and their economy.”

“If you believe in free markets, I don't want to make any compromise with my principles and I think that's the right policy for Canadians and for Canadian consumers.”

“If we want conservative principles to win the battle of ideas, we have to defend them openly, with passion and conviction.”

“It's federal jurisdiction, so the federal government can approve pipelines.”

“We must start pushing back against this politically correct nonsense that's destroying our society and culture.”

“Some may remember that, in 2010, I publicly broke ranks with my colleagues from the Quebec City area who were pushing our government to subsidize a new sports amphitheater in the city. They had seized on this popular project to... What else? Buy votes.”

“יש לי אנשים בטוויטר שמכירים טוב יותר את הפלטפורמה שלי מאשר אני בעצמי.”

“אני יודע שלקנדים רבים נמאס מהדרך המסורתית לעשיית פוליטיקה.”
