Pierre Trudeau Quotes

• No existe el canadiense modelo o ideal. ¿Qué puede haber más absurdo que el concepto de un niño o una niña "totalmente canadiense"? Una sociedad que hace hincapié en la uniformidad es una sociedad que crea intolerancia y odio.

• Americans should never underestimate the constant pressure on Canada which the mere presence of the United States has produced. We're different people from you and we're different people because of you. Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is effected by every twitch and grunt. It should not therefore be expected that this kind of nation, this Canada, should project itself as a mirror image of the United States.
