» Nicolas Sarkozy - all quotes »
It's an old idea from the 19th century. It is something that is not relavant to the vibrant, extraordinary, culture that is Quebec as Quebec is an amazing part of Canada. Nationalism is based on a smallness of thought that closes in, that builds up barriers between people, and has nothing to do with the Canada we should be building. It stands against everything my father ever believed.
Justin Trudeau
New Canada must be workable without Quebec, but it must be open and attractive enough to include a New Quebec.
Preston Manning

They're weak economically. They have very grim prospects if Quebec separates. These people want a solution at almost any cost.
Stephen Harper
I am trying to put Quebec in its place — and the place of Quebec is in Canada.
Pierre Trudeau
My suspicion was that Manning knew he could never become prime minister of Canada because of Quebec and, consequently, that he wouldn't have been terribly sorry to see it leave the federation.
