Rebellions
"Sir, what is hateful...is not rebellion but the despotism which induces that rebellion...the men who having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitions that are sent them; they are the men who, when asked for a loaf, give a stone...if this rebellion be a crime, I say the responsibility for that crime weighs as much upon the men who, by their conduct, have caused the rebellion, as upon those who engaged in it."
--Sir Wilfrid Laurier, future Prime Minister, House of Commons debates regarding the North-West Rebellion of 1885
