Canada at present was called a nation only because a few laws had beenpassed and a railway line sent from one coast to the other. In returninghome [Neil Macrae, the heroj knew that he was doing more than comingback to familiar surroundings. For better or worse he was entering thefuture, he was identifying himself with the still-hidden forces which weredoomed to shape humanity as certainly as the tiny states of Europe hadshaped the past. Canada was still hesitant, was still ham-strung. . . . Butif there were enough Canadians like himself, half-American and half-English, then the day was inevitable when the halves would join and hiscountry would become the central arch which united the new order.(Hugh MacLennan, [1941] 1991, 218)
