beautiful dream country
Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die.
business political bedroom
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
sleep mirrors elephants
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.

What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred miles on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.
canada mutual-respect mutual
If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
past greatness our-future
The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness.

The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.

A country, after all, is not something you build as the pharaohs built the pyramids, and then leave standing there to defy eternity. A country is something that is built every day out of certain basic shared values.
girl hate boys
There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an "all Canadian" boy or girl? A society which emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate.
