Excerpt from Parliamentary Vs. Party Government: An Address Delivered at the Opening of Queen's University, October 16th, 1891, by Chancellor Fleming We remember the familiar phrase Canada first. These two short words have a strong sterling ring about them. Let Canada be the first in a movement towards a rectification of the national administration, and a recognition of happier political methods. Let the sons of 'canada determine to be first in all that is good, to be in the front rank of the great family of British nations. What loftier ambition can we have than to elevate our country, and present Canada before all the nations of the earth, a bright-example of vigorous, upright youth, in every respect worthy of the historic races from which we spring.
