(Answers at the bottom of blog. Hint: not all quotes are from 13th April leaders debate)
"Yes, I’m ready to support women’s human rights and I agree that Canada has more to do to meet its international obligations to women’s equality. If elected, I will take concrete and immediate measures, as recommended by the United Nations, to ensure that Canada fully upholds its commitments to women in Canada."
“I was disappointed, and I think democracy lost out when they kept out a party that had one million votes in the last election,”
"We're having an election because you didn't tell Parliament the truth."
"The world is asking 'what happened to Canada?'"
"I'd like to congratulate Mr. Harper for answering a question from a citizen for the first time during this campaign."
"The single biggest new initiative we've announced is our pharmacare program. It will create a federal Crown corporation to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical industry to bring down the price per unit of pharmaceutical drugs. We also want to make sure we are much more robust on our evidence-based assessment of new drugs. Drugs are entering the market that are causing more damage than they do good".
"That's simply not true!"
"Parliament isn't this little debating society that's a pesky interference to your rule of the country"
“They're saying they're tough on crime but Mr. Harper is very soft on crime in his own office,"
"He could possibly do it with significantly less than 50 per cent of Canadians supporting him. That's undemocratic."
Elizabeth May: 2,6,
Iggnatief: 3,8,
Duceppe: 5,9,
Harper: 1,7,
If you scored
0-3 You need to subscribe to Hansard and actually read it,
4-6 With a little more study, you are almost ready to write a Letter to the Editor,
7-8 You're one of the backroom boys, aren't you,
9-10 With your attention to detail, you should be our Prime Minister.
NB: #1: Stephen Harper, January 18, 2006, The Harper Record (pdf). For this promise made before he was first elected Mr. Harper gets a 'F' and a BIG Boo Hiss!
