But his example survives, and its influence will be felt in the generations to come. What share Galt had in affecting Cartier's course is not fully known, but the two men between them dominated Lower Canada, and their rapprochement was more than a match for the nullifying efforts of Dorion and Holton. Galt's best work was also done before the consummation of the union.
This I deem unfortunate for both, for unsatisfactory as this sadly needed rapprochement is on the continent, it is far more so here.
