quebec nationalism: He warned his Winnipeg audience that the absurd concept of an all-Canadian boy or girl is nothing more than a disastrous ideological pursuit, according to Huffington Post Canada. Some academics called Trudeau progressive immigration policy one designed to both pacify the growth of Quebec nationalism and inject the country economy with fresh ambition and business opportunities. Pierre Elliott Trudeau championed his immigration policy in a 1971 speech to the Ukrainian-Canadian Congress, pointing out that there no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. The senior Trudeau carried a similar theme from a 1969 speech he delivered in Washington, D.C. when he famously likened living next to the U.S. to sleeping with an elephant. Trudeau added It should not therefore be expected that this kind of nation, this Canada, should project itself as a mirror image of the United States. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt, he said.
