I am a competitive person, and I didn't win the leadership of the PC party with a mind to stepping down so soon afterwards. But no regrets.
Peter MacKay I consider myself to be a Main Street, mainstream Conservative, and I think there are a lot of Canadians who place themselves there. Peter MacKay I don't think anyone can accuse me of having put my interests ahead of the party's or the country's. I simply felt this was the right thing to do. Peter MacKay I guess my natural inclination is to finish what I started. We have a Conservative government in Nova Scotia. What I want to see is a Conservative government in Ottawa. Peter MacKay I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties. Peter MacKay If the United States leads a multinational force into Iraq without United Nations backing, Canada should fight beside its neighbour. We've gone from being a middle power to a muddle power on this one. Peter MacKay It's not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway. Peter MacKay My gut tells me and continues to tell me that the Conservative party is on a road back to government. Peter MacKay We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option. Peter MacKay We have to stress our conservative credentials and emphasize that we are the natural, national alternative to the Liberals. Clearly the Alliance has shown it can't break out of its Western box. The Alliance is at single-digit support in three quarters of the country. Peter MacKay What Canada has to do is to have a government connected to the priorities of the people of which it is elected to serve. Those priorities include ensuring medicare is sustainable, support for the military, and tax and justice systems that work. Peter MacKay |
