There is no greater honour than to serve Canadians.

Canadians want to see real hope restored, not false hopes raised.

I believe that Canadians have the common sense to see that a better future cannot be built on fragmentation.

It has been an incredible honour and privilege to serve Ontarians as their premier.

The pressures to get the story first, if wrong, are greater sometimes than the pressures to get the story right, if late.

But most Canadians have recognized to a greater or lesser extent that despite much of the so-called progress of the affluent society, essential ingredients to a meaningful life seem to be either entirely lacking, or at best, difficult to grasp.
