It would be simply suicidal to French Canadians to form a party by themselves.

Quebec does not have Opinions, but only sentiments.

Why, so soon as French Canadians, who are in the minority in this House and in the country, were to organize as a political party, they would compel the majority to organize as a political party, and the result must be disastrous to themselves.

I am not here to parade my religious sentiments, but I declare I have too much respect for the faith in which I was born to ever use it as the basis of a political organization

Canada is free and freedom is its nationality.

I am a subject of the British Crown, but whenever I have to choose between the interests of England and Canada it is manifest to me that the interests of my country are identical with those of the United States of America.

A colony, yet a nation - words never before in the history of the world associated together.
