I know the usual answer of Christ using violence to get the sellers out of the temple, but to me this was impatience rather than violence.

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 affected by every twitch and grunt.

I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.

Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.

The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

It seems to me it would be pretty awful if Canadians came to choose political leaders not for their political ideas and actions, but because of their adherence or their devotedness to one faith or another.

I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.
