NOT SAVING LIVES

this highway

may it serve
to bring
canadians closer

together

may it bring to all canadians a renewed determination to individually do their part to make this nation Greater
and greater still

worthy of the destiny that the fathers of confederation had expected
when through
their act of Faith
they made it possible.

above
all

i express the hope and the prayers today that this
Highway
will always serve the cause of peace

that it will Never hear the marching tramps
of warlike feet.
