In Pierre Trudeau, Canada has finally produced a Prime Minister worthy of assassination.
John DiefenbakerThe Liberals are the flying saucers of politics. No one can make head nor tail of them and they never are seen twice in the same place.
John DiefenbakerI was criticized for being too much concerned with the average Canadians. I can't help that; I am one of them!
John DiefenbakerI 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.
John DiefenbakerI am the first prime minister of this country of neither English nor French origin. So I determined to bring about a Canadian citizenship that knew no hyphenated consideration....I'm very happy to be able to say that in the House of Commons today in my party we have members of Italian, Dutch, German, Scandinavian, Chinese and Ukrainian origin and they are all Canadians.
