'Sugar Candy'

It's easy to over-romanticize Winston Churchill as the proverbial "great man." But the man had a way with words. As a political organism, the nation seems (again) to be at that darkest moment before the dawn. It is therefore worth remembering Churchill's words before the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa on 30 December 1941: "We have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy."
