OTTAWA (CP) - "I am not talking here about changes we will need in 10 years from now. I am talking about today. I am talking about now. We stand together on the edge of historic possibility. At a moment that comes rarely in the life of a country. It is a time when destiny is ours to hold." - Paul Martin, Nov. 14, 2003 at the Liberal leadership convention.
