Quotes by John Farthing (?)

“That we have abandoned the political ideals and traditions to which we were heirs is not the result of our having attained full maturity as a nation. To affirm that we had to renounce the British tradition because it was incompatible with our adult nationhood is too idiotic to be described as an ideology.”
― John Farthing, Freedom Wears a Crown

“For the last thirty years this country has been in process of tearing up its constitutional government, a process which has gone hand in hand with the erasing of the history of the country from the beginning of British rule and the initial Loyalist settlements. All the distinctive traditions which have made up what we still essentially remain are now to be uprooted that we may become pure Canada; a people whose historic memory must be erased so that its mind may come ever more fully to reflect the wide open spaces of the true north, strong and free. Yet we began our life as a people from roots worth nourishing.”

“When time and the fruits of time are denied, nothing remains but space—the wide open spaces, from sea to sea and from ear to ear, of that pure, pure Canada is now the cult-object of our nationalistic worship. How seldom we now hear our leaders speak of the Canadian people—the term has almost lapsed into desuetude—but only and always of Canada... Canada, Canada, which is every day shedding more of its essentially human qualities to become the ever more pure abstraction of a physical environment.”
