“But this doesn't mean that we're not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas. What Canadians need is responsible leadership. Buzzwords, dog whistles and careless attacks don't add up to a plan for Canadians. Attacking the institutions that make our society fair, safe and free is not responsible leadership. Fighting against vaccines that saved millions of lives, that's not responsible leadership. Opposing the support and investments that have helped save jobs, businesses and families during the pandemic, that's not responsible leadership.”

“Pierre [Poilievre] is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public's dime since he was 24, and he's spent every minute of his time in office fighting against fair wages, good pensions and a better life for working people. He is not a worker, and he definitely doesn't get what it means to be a member of the working class.”

“We need to continue to press for real action, which is uncomfortable for many politicians, including Justin Trudeau. But between being politically uncomfortable and saying to our children, 'We can't guarantee you a livable world,' I don't think we have any choice.”

“Guilbeault's [Steven Guilbeault] appointment is not the only signal Trudeau's government sent on climate with its new cabinet appointments this week. Canada's former environment minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, was named the new minister of natural resources. That role had previously been held by a Seamus O'Regan who championed fossil fuel interests. He [O'Regan] was a disaster in my view. He was the inside man for the oil and gas industry in cabinet and had been holding back progress on the environment.”

“It's a cause for concern. He [Steven Guilbeault] has opposed every pipeline in Canada, every oil sands project, everything we need to do in Alberta to get our product to market. We are seeing a global crisis where prices are skyrocketing for oil and gas and a lot of that is because of green agendas.”

“Travelling on the 30th was a mistake and I regret it. We will continue to do even more on the path of reconciliation, whether it's continuing to eliminate long-term boil water advisories, whether it's making sure there's better investments in housing and support for kids going to new and better schools across the country in Indigenous communities. I'd like to thank Chief Casimir for taking my call this weekend so I could apologize directly for not being with her and her community on that day. I'm focused on making this right.”

“One of the problems that Mr O'Toole faces is the problem of authenticity. This is true for Canadians who are paying attention - but it's particularly true for his base. This [pivoting to the centre] was a good strategy in order to gain the Conservative leadership. And I know why he tried to pull his party towards the centre during this campaign. Some of the ideological leanings of a sizable part of his party - on abortion, LGBTQ rights, the environment and gun control - are just not palatable to the average Canadian. If the party opts to turf out O'Toole and hold a leadership race a rightwing candidate would probably win. But a shift to the right means totally alienating urban voters, as well as the vast majority of Quebec. This is becoming a real problem for the conservatives.”

“While some of us [Conservative Party of Canada] get to celebrate today, we lost a solid, diverse group of MPs last night. We need to determine why we lost major ground in the GTA [Greater Toronto Area] and Metro Vancouver. We owe it our party volunteers, donors, members & activists to critically examine every aspect of the campaign.”

“Canada's 44th general election was like a game of tug of war in which the rope won. Sometimes things happen and no one really wins. Things don't improve. There are few or no saving graces or silver linings. There's just the cold, hard reality of what has happened and what did not and what comes next. At least now Canada's politicians can get back to work - what they should have been doing all along - as the country returns to paying even less attention to politics than it did before. Until the next time.”

“Canadians were pretty satisfied with the government they had prior to the election, so we have pretty much what we had before with a few exceptions. The outcome demonstrates that most Canadians want a government that has to collaborate and is not dominated by a single party. It speaks to what Canadians were seeing during COVID, which was that the parties really did have to come together, and they want to see more to that.”

“Even if this election hadn't happened, he's been prime minister for six years - and there's only so long you can be in power before voter fatigue sets in. If he's willing to work with Singh, he can be prime minister who delivers a national childcare program, and be the one who delivers a real plan in place on climate change - something that has the support of multiple parties. If he wants it, there's a real opportunity here for Trudeau. It's a chance for him to cement a legacy.”

“Five weeks ago, Mr Trudeau asked for a majority. Tonight, Canadians did not give Mr Trudeau the majority mandate he wanted. In fact, Canadians sent him back with another minority at the cost of $600m. Our support has grown, it's grown across the country, but clearly there is more work for us to do to earn the trust of Canadians. My family and I are resolutely committed to continuing this journey for Canada.”

“You don't want us talking about politics or elections anymore; you want us to focus on the work that we have to do for you. You just want to get back to the things you love, not worry about this pandemic, or about an election. You are sending us back to work with a clear mandate to get Canada through this pandemic into the brighter days ahead. My friends, that’s exactly what we are ready to do.”

“Trudeau [Justin Trudeau] had one aim: win a majority. He failed. Last night's sharp rebuke is the second time in less than two years that many Canadians have, in effect, told him that his youthful, inconsequential sheen has lost much of its allure. As such, they were disinclined to grant him the broad mandate he was, no doubt, confident he would secure. So, today, the Canadian Parliament mirrors, almost to a seat, the Parliament that was dissolved a touch over a month ago to satiate Trudeau's irresistible yearning for the elusive prize of a majority.”

“The pandemic has caused a lot of anger and a lot of anxiety. Certain segments of the population are frustrated. But the jury's out on the degree to which the People's Party of Canada eats into the Conservative base. A lot of them [supporters of the People's Party of Canada] are non-voters that are alienated from the political system. Maybe the People's Party is eating into the Conservative vote a little bit now, but whether that continues to be the case as election day approaches really remains to be seen. I thought the Liberals would have been able to kind of ride a vaccine wave, take credit for our mass vaccination and be in better shape than they are now. But we're dealing with a situation where the Canadian public is pretty highly fractured, so the prospects of any party winning a commanding majority, with the electorate as it is today, is unlikely.”

“No matter how popular a politician is, the longer he or she is in office, the more things will stick to him or her. Trudeau has been at the centre of a few high-profile scandals, and people's affection for him is no longer what it was - although he still has a loyal support base.”
