Economic certainty vs. economic risk: A choice for Canadians
Although, as Prime Minister, I speak to a lot of audiences of successful business people, I am always especially inspired by the ambition and optimism of new Canadian entrepreneurs. Starting a business is a big challenge in its own right. When it is part of starting a new life in a new land, it is an even bigger challenge. But many Indo-Canadians here in Toronto and across Canada have met that challenge and succeeded, and are increasingly taking their place in the top echelons of Canadian business.

Diesel Tax Reduction Underscores Choice in this Election
Keeping goods moving is critical. It’s the lifeblood of our economy. For well over a century Winnipeg has been one of Canada’s most important transportation hubs. That’s why it is appropriate that I chose Winnipeg to make the first new policy announcement of our campaign. If you want to ship something across Canada, it pretty well has to pass through “the Peg.” This is an announcement that highlights the choice Canadians face in this election.
