Politics Is The Skilled Use Of Blunt

How Can There Be Peace Without People Understanding Each Other; And How Can This Be If They Don't Know Each Other?

Whether We Live Together In Confidence And Cohesion; With More Faith And Pride In Ourselves And Less Self-doubt And Hesitation; Strong In The Conviction That The Destiny Of Canada Is To Unite, Not Divide; Sharing In Cooperation, Not In Separation Or In Conflict; Respecting Our Past And Welcoming Our Future.

Under This Flag May Our Youth Find New Inspiration For Loyalty To Canada; For A Patriotism Based Not On Any Mean Or Narrow Nationalism, But On The Deep And Equal Pride That All Canadians Will Feel For Every Part Of This Good Land.

Of All Our Dreams Today There Is None More Important - Or So Hard To Realise - Than That Of Peace In The World. May We Never Lose Our Faith In It Or Our Resolve To Do Everything That Can Be Done To Convert It One Day Into Reality.

We'll Jump Off That Bridge When We Come To It.
