“Any man who has not some feeling of pride in his ancestry, who does not honour the traditions of the people from which he sprang, cannot be a good Canadian. It is well for the future of this country, and for the future of our people as a whole, that there should be, in the two great races, British and French, that dominate it, a feeling on either side of attachment to language and pride of nation.”
— Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister of Canada, March 22, 1905
Canadian PM Mark Carney:
Canada was not founded on a single creed, race, language, or faith.
