Aaron Gunn makes a good point. John A. MacDonald, the father of confederation was a conservative. Canadian federation was a Conservative dream. The railway tied the nation together from coast to coast without being reliant on the United States.
John Diefenbaker, put the dream on paper in the Canadian Bill of Rights. He wrote the preamble to the Bill of Rights which states "I am Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind." Not just citizens.
