John Diefenbaker
"I 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."
Jean Chretien
"What we have built together in Canada is something very great and very noble.
A country whose values of tolerance, understanding, generosity have made us
what we are: a society where our number one priority is the respect
and dignity of all our citizens."
Paul Martin
"The people of Canada have worked hard to build a country that opens its doors
to include all, regardless of their differences; a country that respects all,
regardless of their differences; a country that demands equality for all,
regardless of their differences."
Steve Harper
"Canada appears content to become a second-tier socialistic country,
boasting ever more loudly about its economy and social services
to mask its second-rate status."
