Quote by Pierre Trudeau

“I'm far from believing that we've solved the problem of violence in the 20th century and that's why I'm not discouraged that we still have the Biafras and the Northern Irelands and the East Pakistans and, for that matter, violence in American or Canadian cities.”

If he is in a society which has work for him I don't think he should theoretically be eligible for welfare.”
