~ Canadian politics in British Columbia is an adventure, on the Prairies a cause, in Ontario a business, in Quebec a religion, in the Maritimes a disease. ~
~ Canada has no cultural unity, no linguistic unity, no religious unity, no economic unity, no geographic unity. All it has is unity. ~
~ We shall be Canadians first, foremost, and always, and our policies will be decided in Canada and not dictated by any other country. ~
~ Historically, a Canadian is an American who rejects the Revolution. ~
~ You can be a French Canadian or an English Canadian, but not a Canadian. We know how to live without an identity, and this is one of our marvellous resources. ~
~ Canadian nationalism was systematically encouraged and exploited by American capital. Canada moved from colony to nation to colony. ~
~ In Canada we have enough to do keeping up with two spoken languages ... so we just go right ahead and use English for literature, Scotch for sermons, and American for conversation. ~
~ A Canadian is sort of like an American, but without the gun. ~
~ Canada is a place of infinite promise. We like the people, and if one ever had to emigrate, this would be the destination, not the U.S.A. The hills, lakes and forests make it a place of peace and repose of the mind, such as one never finds in the U.S.A. ~
~ Canada is probably the most free country in the world where a man still has room to breathe, to spread out, to move forward, to move out, an open country with an open frontier. Canada has created harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups, and it must take this experience to the world because there is yet to be such an example of harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups. ~
~ Canadians do not like heroes, and so they do not have them. ~
~ Canadians, like their historians, have spent too much time remembering conflicts, crises, and failures. They forgot the great, quiet continuity of life in a vast and generous land. A cautious people learns from its past; a sensible people can face its future. Canadians, on the whole, are both. ~
~ I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind. ~
~ I am rather inclined to believe that this is the land God gave to Cain. ~
~ In any world menu, Canada must be considered the vichyssoise of nations, it's cold, half-French, and difficult to stir. ~
