Additional quotes by Pierre Trudeau

I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.

If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.

We must now establish the basic principles, the basic values and beliefs which hold us together as Canadians so that beyond our regional loyalties there is a way of life and a system of values which make us proud of the country that has given us such freedom and such immeasurable joy."
