Kim Campbell, the first female prime minister of Canada, was right when she said a 47-day-long election campaign (Imagine a campaign of only 47 days!) was not enough time to reconsider the nation’s social programs. But she was wrong to say so.

The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.

It is a great folly to offend many if you only want to insult one man.
