"This province... is Catholic and French and shall remain Catholic and French. All the while asserting our friendship and our respect for the representatives of the other races and religions, all the while claiming our eagerness for giving them their fair share in every aspect [...] we solemnly declare that we shall never renounce our rights that are guaranteed by treaties, by law and by the constitution [...] Let us cease our fratricidal struggles and let us unite!"
- Honoré Mercier, Premier of Canada, June 24, 1889
What late-20th century issue could have been inspired by Mercier's words?
