When I speak of Canadian nationalism, I mean that, for better or worse, we have on this continent, not one nation of British origin, but two nations, the one as completely resolved to go its own way as the other. Canada, like the United States, a great federation, has now nearly 8,000,000 people, about three times as many as had the United States when it became independent. Moving on its own lines, Canada is rapidly completing the apparatus of national life. It is taking steps to build a navy to be under its own control. It negotiates its own commercial treaties. Questions between Canada and other countries are settled now, not from London, but from Ottawa. The British ambassador to the United States, who is with us to-day, has a more difficult task, in some respects, than any other diplomat at Washington for he serves two nations, and not merely one.
