We had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth and I think if that's not enough motivation I don't think you should be playing this game.

Going to Freedom's Watch was a job opportunity that presented itself, so I jumped at it.
In the U.S. the powerful critics of austerity such as Paul Krugman and Robert Reich rightly identify the decline of 'labor' as a problem, and renewing trade unionism part of the solution. Our opportunity is to make the same case in the UK.

I'd put it this way: Canadians want politicians to work together on their behalf. So that's what I'm committed to doing. I think it's been the goal of every NDP leader. Because we had a profound belief that we could do a good job on behalf of Canadians... if we were given that opportunity.
All of our sons and daughters ought to have the same opportunity to experience the joy and stability of marriage.
