We're going to continue fundraising. We're not done yet.

We've tried to do everything we could to make it as upscale as possible, ... Our goal is to have a place where women can come and know that there's nothing better in Knoxville, Corbin or wherever.

Maybe they should call Guinness to see about the record for the most frivolous press conference.

I'll admit; I broke it. I dove for a tackle on defense and accidentally kicked him. You can see it on film.

I find it maddening that after making such great political hay out of high gas taxes in opposition, he's now just ready to shrug and do nothing about it.

If those cuts are repealed in the upcoming budget, Canadians will end up paying higher income taxes this year and in future years. The only person talking about hindering tax-relief measures is the prime minister.

He gets a lot of the issues in terms of a taxpayer's point of view. He's in tune with the values of what I call Middle Canada, which tend to focus on family budgets and some of the struggles of people across this country face when it comes to paying their bills, putting a roof over their head, getting their kids to school, et cetera, et cetera.

We're on the verge of another four or five-year tax relief schedule.

He's got the whole world at his feet and he can't find his shoes.

He's been invisible when important policy issues have sprung up. They just seem to have missed opportunity after opportunity.

Hopefully, this will be used by all of the county. It's more than just North High.

I was looking forward to playing with him, he's a cool cat.

It is a fairly slow process. One ought not to expect too much in the way of overnight changes.

Ottawa has had a spending problem, not a revenue problem, and surplus dollars should be returned to taxpayers.

I think he would be a good choice. He's already ran the second-largest finance department in Canada.

That would still leave Ottawa with billions of dollars to spend on roads and infrastructure.

When you stack up what he's spending next to his cabinet colleagues, Mr. Volpe's spending is out of line and he should be reined in.

The point, simply, is that we are doing more rediscovering these days than discovering coming anew upon truths that ignorant people refused to examine, over the centuries, because the wise people who held custody of the fundamental truths of nature were unpopular.

Today we are reading virtually every meter. I expect in about 2006 or 2007 we'll do another evaluation to see if it's cost-effective to change.

We basically gutted the whole building started with a shell, ... Everything is brand new- the flooring, the walls, the plumbing, the electric.

We see more and more every day the importance of education, creative education beyond the routine,

We want to force the creation and let it grow as part of a large network, empowering people to be their own celebrity.

This only reinforces the perception that, when it comes to spending, there is not a lot of consideration given to taxpayers,

There's no doubt he was very supportive of that agenda.

Defeated and retiring members will win financially thanks to a gold-plated pension plan and rich severance payments for parliamentarians. Shed no tears for retiring or defeated MPs. They are being well looked after by Canadian taxpayers.

As people become richer, they also start wanting things like democracy. The fact that India already is a democracy is a huge advantage on China, which could be strongly disrupted down the line.

This is an exciting project that trains pre-doctoral students for America's long-term need for top-notch scientists capable of translating research results into new technologies and new businesses.

This is the end of Medicare as we know it. It's going to open up litigation across the country in the other nine provinces as taxpayers there press for the same right, which is the right to seek and buy insurance to cover private health care.

This allows me to have access to my patients' records from any computer no matter where I may be,

I don't think India is competing with China yet.
