| « The fatherland,
for us, is the whole of Canada, that is to say a federation of distinct races
and autonomous provinces. The nation which we wish to see developed is the Canadian
nation, composed of French Canadians and English Canadians, that is to say a nation
of two elements separated by language and religion and by the legal arrangements
necessary for the preservation of their respective traditions, but united by a
sentiment of brotherhood in a common attachment to a common country. »
Henri
Bourassa, 1904 | |
