Quote #4 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Politics and Political Parties
“It is perhaps natural to exaggerate the importance of political party differences in Canadian, as in British and American, history, but when any long period in any of their modern histories is examined carefully, it becomes obvious that usually the two parties, ordinarily supposed to be in bitter opposition, had more in common than in dispute.”
