I'm far from believing that we've solved the problem of violence in the 20th century and that's why I'm not discouraged that we still have the Biafras and the Northern Irelands and the East Pakistans and, for that matter, violence in American or Canadian cities.

We are in the extreme centre, the radical middle. That is our position.

Society must take every means at its disposal to defend itself against the emergence of a parallel power which defies the elected power.

We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada.

As against the "invisible hand" of Adam Smith, there has to be a visible hand of politicians whose objective is to have the kind of society that is caring and humane.

I think all of us, politicians and churchmen, should do our utmost to change the society so that there would be no need for violence.

Society is responsible for its social organization, and if it can't provide the wherewithal for men to be gainfully employed then it should pay the penalty and give them welfare.
