Pierre Poilievre: “Canadians elect Parliament to defend their interests and decide the hard questions. Those questions can no longer wait.”

We have a 200-year-old relationship. There's always going to be grievances on both sides of the border.

And that’s what we need to do — use our resources and energy to make us stronger, more affordable and more self-reliant here at home.

We don’t take our ball and go home.

To those people who are thinking about taking out their frustration on the current government by voting for separation and the referendum, I say this: Canada is more than a government, it’s a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.
