Significantly, close to the time when Berton's two-volume account of the building of the Canadian Pacific was selling better than any previous books published in Canada and the building of this railway was assuming for some Canadians a place in the national experience analogous to that of the Civil War for Americans, the then chairman of the cpr, N.R. Crump, was calling for the liquidation of some of the important elements of the historic national policy. These proposals included a strengthening of the provinces vis-à-vis Ottawa, an “easing of economic protectionism,” and both “increasing the attractiveness of imported manufactured goods in western Canada and the maritimes” and “allowing Ontario and Quebec to more fully integrate their economies into the heartland of North America, so reducing their dependence on western and maritime markets.” Address to the Canadian Club, Vancouver, 14 Oct. 1971 (mimeo)

It stands for moderation, tolerance, and the rejection of extreme courses, whether they express themselves in demands that the state should do everything for the individual, even if it means weakening him and destroying him in the process, or in demands that the state should do nothing except hold the ring so that the fittest survive in the law of the jungle.”
