Pierre Trudeau
The federal government is the balance wheel of the federal system, and the federal system means using counterweights.

Pierre Trudeau
I think it's good that you test the reality that surrounds you in your neighbourhood with the reality as it is in other parts of the world you come up with a better judgment.

Pierre Trudeau
I've always lived in a democratic society.
Pierre Trudeau
You just cannot cut a country in two any more than you can cut a human being in two. If you do, you do not have two human beings you have a corpse.
Pierre Trudeau
