I am in politics to defend ideas, real conservative ideas. Because I passionately care about Canada's future. Because I know that the free-market conservative philosophy has the best solutions to ensure our society is more prosperous, secure, and peaceful.

We are speaking to the intelligence of Canadians, not to their emotion.

The free market, the people, will find solutions and they always did in the past.
