"Beneath their work the moral core of Canadian nationhood is found in the fact that Canada is a monarchy and in the nature of monarchial allegiance. As America is united at bottom by the covenant Canada is united at the top by allegiance. Because Canada is a nation founded on allegiance and not on compact there is no pressure for uniformity there is no Canadian way of life. Any one French Irish Ukrainian or Eskimo can be a subject of the Queen and a citizen of Canada without in any way changing or ceasing to be himself."

"في صميم ما ينجزونه، يكمن اللب الأخلاقي للأمة الكندية في كون كندا ملكية، وفي طبيعة الولاء للتاج. فبينما تتحد أمريكا في عمقها بالميثاق، تتحد كندا في قمتها بالولاء. ولأن كندا أمة قامت على الولاء لا على العهد، فلا ضغط فيها نحو التجانس، ولا وجود لنمط حياة كندي واحد. فبإمكان أي فرد، سواء كان فرنسياً أو إيرلندياً أو أوكرانياً أو من الإسكيمو، أن يكون رعية للتاج ومواطناً كندياً، دون أن يغير من ذاته أو يتخلى عن جوهره."
