Excerpt from The Future of Canada Fourth - An independent nationality with our own flag and our own national responsibilities. These four seem to embrace all the alternatives within the range of practical politics. Of course, it is open to the Canadian people to seek an alliance with France, Germany or any other nation, but such solutions are simply imaginative and do not represent any principle or reason. But each one of the four presented are natural, and on behalf of any one of them much can be said. All of them are in the minds of thoughtful people, and all are so far within the range of the possible and practical that they ought to be weighed carefully, and no decision should be reached until the contingencies which each presents have been maturely considered.
