#Freedom can flow from order. That is not to say that freedom always flows from order because you can have a totalitarian order and you can have an undemocratic order from which freedom will not flow, but that surest way to destroy freedom is to have chaos. Pierre Elliot Trudeau

Obviously I prefer freedom, but I know, and I think all history has told us, that freedom cannot flow from anarchy and disorder. Pierre Elliott Trudeau

If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau

My idea of freedom is that we should protect the rights of people to believe what their conscience dictates, but fight equally hard to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.
Justin Trudeau

I believe that Canadians have the common sense to see that a better future cannot be built on fragmentation.
Kim Campbell

Any attack, or attempted attack, on our democracy is unacceptable. So make no mistake: When it comes to defending our national security, we will always stand firm – and we will continue to strengthen our institutions and defend their integrity.
Justin Trudeau

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Nelson Mandela

We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner

We have created a society where individual rights and freedoms, compassion and diversity are core to our citizenship. But underlying that idea of Canada is the promise that we all have a chance to build a better life for ourselves and our children. Justin Trudeau

A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. And you devalue the citizenship of every Canadian in this place and in this country when you break down and make it conditional for anyone. Justin Trudeau

The fact is Canadians understand that immigration, that people fleeing for their lives, that people wanting to build a better life for themselves and their kids is what created Canada, it's what created North America.
Justin Trudeau

I've made the commitment to Canadians that I'm going to stay myself, and I'm going stay open about it, and I'm going to make sure that the thoughtfulness with which I approach issues continues to shine through. Justin Trudeau

I think Canadians are tired of politicians that are spun and scripted within an inch of their life, people who are too afraid of what a focus group might say about one comment or a political opponent might try to twist out of context, to actually say much of anything at all. JT

Promising something that seems popular at the time that you know you're never going to deliver - that's the kind of cynical politics that I don't want any part of. Justin Trudeau

The best counter to the kind of radicalization and marginalization that we've seen in other parts of the world is to create an inclusive society where everyone, including especially Muslim Canadians, have every opportunity to succeed, just like anybody else.
Justin Trudeau

If you're a progressive, you really should be a feminist because it's about equality, it's about respect, it's about making the best of the world that we have.
Justin Trudeau

We know that society is better - more prosperous, more stable, more peaceful, more cohesive - when women's rights are respected and when women are valued, empowered, and lead the way in our communities. Justin Trudeau

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. Eleanor Roosevelt

The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.
John Stuart Mill
