>"Did you ever hear the tragedy of John Diefenbaker, The Tory? I thought not. It's not a story the Liberal Party would tell you. It's a Red Tory legend."
>"Diefenbaker was a Prime Minister of the North, so powerful and so populist he could use the spirit of nationalism to influence the voters to protect... sovereignty."
>"He had such a knowledge of the British tradition that he could even keep the ones he cared about—the farmers, the small towns—from being absorbed by the continent."
>"The old Canadian identity is a pathway to many values some consider to be... inefficient."
>"He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his independence, which eventually, of course, he did."
>"Unfortunately, he taught his nation that it could stand against the American Empire, then the tech-elites and his own party killed his vision in his sleep."
>"Ironic. He could save the symbols of Canada from death, but not the substance of the nation itself."
