Famous quotes containing the word canada:

    “I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In Canada an ordinary New England house would be mistaken for the château, and while every village here contains at least several gentlemen or “squires,” there is but one to a seigniory.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
