You Have To Look At

I Learned Early That Business Is Business And Politics Is Politics. The Proof Is How Few Important Businessmen Have Made Good Politicians. They May Think That They Are Very Smart About Everything Because They Made Millions Of Dollars By Digging A Hole In The Ground And Finding Oil, But The Talent And Luck Needed To Become Rich Are Not The Same Talent And Luck Needed To Succeed On Parliament Hill.

Pierre Trudeau Dreamed Of A Society That Afforded All Of Its Citizens An Equal Opportunity To Succeed In Life - Whatever Their Background Or Beliefs, Whether Rich Or Poor.

Canadian Federalism Is More Than A Form Of Government. It's Also A System Of Values That Allows Different People In Diverse Communities To Live And Work Together In Harmony For The Good Of All.

The Art Of Politics Is Learning To Walk With Your Back To The Wall, Your Elbows High, And A Smile On Your Face. It's A Survival Game Played Under The Glare Of Lights.

At One Point Trudeau Mentioned To Me That The National Gallery Wanted To Buy A Masterpiece By The Great Italian Painter Lotto, And It Needed A Million Dollars From The Treasury Board. "is That Lotto-quebec Or Lotto-canada?" I Joked, But I Got The Message, And The National Gallery Got The Painting.
