“I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble?”

“Our neighbours have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around.”

“When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris.”
