When I get out across the country and listen to people, the resentment that I see and the frustration that I see is that we have a generation of people who are fairly convinced that their kids are not going to have a better quality of life or a better future than they will.
From Justin Trudeau
You can't run a government from one single person. What instead matters is that leadership be about gathering around extraordinary individuals and getting the best out of them.
Connecting with Canadians isn't about what you say, it's about what you're listening to. It's about what you understand.
Living your life in the public eye is a greater burden than most people can imagine.
I had to learn to dismiss people who would criticize me based on nothing, but I also had to learn not to believe the people who would compliment me and think I was great based on nothing. And that led me to have a very, very strong sense of myself and my strengths.
I think Canadians want to get a feel for the people who will serve them... and, for me, I think that Canadians will trust people who trust them.
Promising something that seems popular at the time that you know you're never going to deliver - that's the kind of cynical politics that I don't want any part of.
A very powerful mechanism to get elected is to play on anger and pick those wedge issues.
Once Canadians no longer believe that there is any good in politics, they no longer feel we can work together to solve the challenges we're facing, and that is my fundamental motivation: how do we work together as a country to solve the big challenges we're facing.
Canadians are nice and polite. It's not just a stereotype.
