"We are here a nation, composed of the most heterogeneous elements -- Protestants and Catholics, English, French, German, Irish, Scotch, every one, let it be remembered, with his traditions, with his prejudices. In each of these conflicting antagonistic elements, however, there is a common spot of patriotism, and the only true policy is that which reaches that common patriotism and makes it vibrate in all toward common ends and common aspirations." -- Wilfrid Laurier (b. 1841-11-20, d. 1919-02-17, Prime Minister of Canada 1896-07-11 to 1911-10-06)

[Happy Canada Day to all my frinds in or from that beautiful land to the north! And a happy long-party-weekend to everyone in border towns celebrating straight through from Canada Day to Independence Day since they bracket a weekend this year!]
