“To those who urge upon us the policy of tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow; to those who tell us, wait, wait, wait; to those who advise us to pause, to consider, to reflect, to calculate and to inquire, our answer is: No, this is not a time for deliberation, this is a time for action.

SIR WILFRID LAURIER, PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, 1902
