“Canada regards herself as responsible to all mankind for the peculiar ecological balance that now exists so precariously in the water, ice and land areas of the Arctic archipelago. We do not doubt for a moment that the rest of the world would find us at fault, and hold us liable, should we fail to ensure adequate protection of that environment from pollution or artificial deterioration.” WorldShouldMomentsWaterDoubtEnvironmentFailingLandMankindBalanceAreasResponsibleRegardFaultsProtectionIceCanadaPeculiarArtificialPollutionAdequateEcologicalLiableArcticDeteriorationEcological Balance Author:Pierre Trudeau

It is particularly valuable for those people whose unconscious associations of pain and discomfort in relationships to man render a deity in human form impossible.

“It is my belief that exciting things happen when a variety of overlapping activities designed for all people-the old and the young, the blue and white collar, the local inhabitant and the visitor, different activities for different occasions-meet in a flexible environment, opening up the possibility of interaction outside the confines of institutional limits. When this takes place, deprived areas welcome dynamic places for those who live, work and visit; places where all can participate, rather than less or more beautiful ghettos.” PeopleDifferentHappensBeautifulYoungBeliefWhiteEnvironmentPossibilityActivityLimitsAreasExcitingBlueThings HappenLocalsOpeningWelcomeVarietyOccasionsInteractionFlexibleDeprivedGhettoVisitorsCollarsOpening UpExciting ThingsWhite CollarOverlappingBlue And White Author:Richard Rogers

So all my kids with whom I fought and wrestled and went fishing and worked in the field and so forth were African-Americans. And that was my life.
