Flor de Sangue

Jean-Paul Racelle: [addressing the Assembly] Nothing has changed in our times. We have wasted forty years advising a government in which we have no voice. Nothing we have asked has been given. No word we have spoken has been heard. We now know we are without will or honour or any rights of citizenship. We can no longer pretend, even to ourselves, that we can call our lives our own. I therefore ask that this worthless Assembly be dissolved.

[general cries of "No!"]

Jean-Paul Racelle: [he continues] Go to your homes. Carry to your parishes the call to arms. Raise every man who can lift a gun. Stand ready to march at a moment's notice. It will not be days, but now only hours before war to free Canada begins!
