QotD
"Americans should never underestimate the constant pressure on
Canada which the mere presence of the United States has produced.
We're different people from you and we're different people because of
you. Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an
elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I
can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. It should
not therefore be expected that this kind of nation, this Canada,
should project itself as a mirror image of the United States." --
Pierre Trudeau
