Quotes by Desmond Morton (?)

“Trudeau had stressed individual rights over group rights. By promising “no more free stuff” in 1968, Trudeau condemned social programs that shared burdens collectively. Few recognized the signs, but Canada’s affluent postwar socialism ended with Trudeau’s victory. Ten years later, in 1978, few noticed or cared when statistics showed the first decline in the real incomes of working people since the 1930s and the first increase in the number of Canadians who could not afford the necessities of life.”

“Barriers of racial prejudice were lowered to recruit Aboriginals and Japanese Canadians, though black Canadian volunteers were referred to a construction unit.”

“A birth-control pill ended the baby boom early in the 1960s. Maternity, once defended by feminists as the highest role of womanhood, became an interlude that could be avoided at will. Quebec’s birth rate fell from the highest to the lowest in Canada, raising alarm over French-Canadian survival. Newfoundland shared the drop. Traditional barriers to the employment of women, even in mines and construction sites, crumbled. The composition of the Canadian labour force changed from one-quarter female to almost one-half female in a generation.”
