With our flag proudly waving, we will thank our fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and veterans of centuries past for defending this country, some, with their lives and we will take a moment in silence to remember the fallen.
They have thrown to us the torch that we must carry to defend our country and have placed the future of their descendants and our fellow citizens in our hands. And so we cannot rest a moment and must be ever watchful and vigilant of our borders and those would seek to encroach in our arctic.
Our borders are our defences for our natural resources, both on land and sea, our northern first nations and our freedom and sovereignty in general. And to those over the centuries who have sought to invade our country, history has shown that we have met the challenge of defence and have done far more than our duty to keep this country ours.
So as you stop to think of the veterans who gave their lives for this country and thank those who are still with us, stop and think of the sovereignty of this country that you enjoy and must continue to uphold. Do not one day turn to your fellow Canadians and ask “Oh Canada, where have you gone”, but continue to stand firm and arm in arm and proudly sing “O Canada our home and native land.”
This land is ours.
