Hope and optimism have defined my political career, and I continue to be hopeful and optimistic about Canada. Young people have been a great source of inspiration for me.

There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.

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.

People want to feel hopeful.

Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world.

I have big hope for the Canadian government to help Somalia with something concrete and tangible. I haven't seen that.

To other Canadians who are on journeys to defeat cancer and to live their lives, I say this: please don't be discouraged that my own journey hasn't gone as well as I had hoped. You must not lose your own hope.

Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
