Canadian Quotable

"Why don't they change it to 'One nation under Canada?'."

- Robin Williams, comedian, responding to an editor from the New Yorker magazine, for an alternative to the phrase "One Nation under God" after the Court of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in July 2002, that it is unconstitutional to require school children to recite the "Pledge of Allegiance" because it contains the phrase "one nation under God" (source: The Penguin Dictionary of Popular Canadian Quotations)
