A fitting tribute to Canada’s seventh Prime Minister. And the similarities to Star Trek’s Mr. Spock are extensive.
Where Laurier said (of English and French Canadians living together):
Two races share today the soil of Canada. These people had not always been friends. But I hasten to say it. There is no longer any family here but the human family. It matters not the language people speak, or the altars at which they kneel.
Mr. Spock said (in ‘City on the Edge of Forever’):
I am endeavoring, ma’am, to construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins.
So, you see, there are a lot of similarities.
