You are entirely correct. This was a googled quote, not always 100 % reliable and probably edited for brevity ( or political correctness), so I did a bit more searching and here are the missing bits sourced from other Canadian archive. Note the gist is the same as it addresses your correct comment..Way to go Sir Wilfrid and thanks to you Paul and John


...any man who says he is Canadian, but tries to impose his customs and habits on us, is not a Canadian.....

... There is only room for only two languages here, English and French...

...we won't accept anyone, and I say anyone, who will try to impose his religion or customs on us....
