I'll leave you with this...
Statement by the Prime Minister for Canada Day
June 30, 2005
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Paul Martin today made the following statement for Canada Day:
“Today we celebrate Canada’s 138th birthday. This is a time to reflect on the values we hold dear as a nation.
Already in 2005, we have witnessed events and anniversaries that remind us of these values and how they define us as Canadians.
We have honoured Canadian veterans during the 60th anniversary commemoration of VE Day for their tremendous sacrifice in preserving freedom and democracy. We’ve celebrated the 20th anniversary of equality rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And we have joined Albertans and Saskatchewanians in the festivities surrounding the centenary of these two provinces.
Canada is a success story – and we take immense pride in that. A country bound together by values of family, community, respect for one another, and a commitment to equality of opportunity. Our future is bright.
Canada Day is a time to celebrate that success. One gigantic birthday party across the nation, as the summer begins and we relax in the company of family and friends – at the lake, traveling, camping, enjoying the warm summer days and evenings.
Let the celebration begin! To all Canadians – I wish you a very Happy Canada Day!”
