"For the past 150 years nationalism has been a retrogade idea. By an historic accident Canada has found itself approximately 75 years ahead of the rest of the world in the formation of a multinational state, and I happen to believe that the hope of mankind lies in multinationalism."
Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
I can accept the first part of the quote. Not so sure about the rest of it though. I loathe nationalism with all my heart. It is a retrogade idea. As for multinationalism is that code for multiculturalism? If so, not a fan of the concept to the extent it has to be written down and enshrined in the Charter. Canada is not the first and will not be the last "multiculturalnational" state.
