I want to remind members that when Lord Durham—of unhappy memory in Quebec—came after the 1837-1838 insurrections, he said, in speaking of Quebec, referring to what was then Lower Canada following the insurrection—and I learned it from my history professor during a session on Lord Durham: “I found two nations warring in the bosom of a single state”.
Je voudrais rappeler que quand Lord Durham — de sinistre mémoire au Québec — est venu après les insurrections de 1837-1838, parlant du Québec, parlant de ce qui était alors le Bas-Canada après les insurrections, il a dit — et je l'ai appris de mon professeur, passant une session sur Lord Durham —: « I found two nations warring in the bosom of a single state ».
