Famous words

We had been told that the Canadians would have complete control over our properties, our liberties, and our lives. Now honourable members must recollect that confederation once accomplished, we shall all become Canadians, and Canada cannot injure us without an equal, nay a larger amount of injury to herself.

— Robert Pinsent
