On pourrait dire que Macdonald se retournerait dans sa tombe s'il voyait à quel point notre pays est intégré dans l'économie nord-américaine et à quel point il est tombé sous l'empire et la domination, tant idéologique que politique, du pays dont il avait cherché à garder le Canada distinct.
An argument could be made that Macdonald would be rolling over in his grave if he could see the extent to which the country has become integrated into the North American economy and the extent to which it has come under the sway and domination, both ideological and political, of the country from which he sought to set Canada apart.
