In 1936 American entrepreneur Robert McCormick built a pulp and paper mill in Baie Comeau, Quebec. He came up with the idea while canoeing in the area in 1915. This statue, by an American sculptor, was erected in Baie Comeau after his death in 1955. How is Robert McCormick viewed in the statue as opposed to the cartoon?

"The American invasion by film, radio and periodical is formidable. Much of what comes to us is good. . . It has, however, been represented to us that many of the radio programmes of the 'crime' and 'horror' type, are positively harmful. News commentaries too, and even live broadcasts from American sources, are designed for American ears and are almost certain to have an American slant and emphasis by reason of what they include or omit, as well as because of the opinions expressed."

"Having failed to annex us physically or woo us successfully, the Americans, it seemed, had developed a far more subtle and potentially more dangerous tactic; they would dominate our brains, mould our culture in their style, and achieve a bloodless victory. Through American professors, American books, American films, American art curators, they would completely and eternally subjugate us."

"Without a vibrant feature film industry, we will always and inevitably export our best talent. It is a culturally devastating loss. It is also a preposterous economic waste. Imaging mobilizing our educational system to train doctors, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs in order to sent the most brillian of them abroad to serve and enrich another economy. This is what we do in film."
