“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.”
– John Diefenbaker
(From the Canadian Bill of Rights – predecessor to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – July 1, 1960)
