Today is Election Day in Canada. To mark the occasion, some bloggers, led by Ghost of a flea, are doing a blogburst featuring the above quotation.

I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledege to uphold for myself and for all mankind.

-Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker, from the House of Commons, Debates (on the Canadian Bill of Rights), July 1, 1960.

I’m off to vote.
