Fellow Manitobans, fellow Canadians – welcome to this outpouring of love for our country and its values.
We’ve come together here today, outside the place where our elected representatives work out the important business of governance. This is where the people of this province come to voice what’s on their mind.
For many years, people have gathered on these grounds to call for justice and to call for change. People have come here to send a message to government. They have also come here to speak to their fellow Manitobans and fellow Canadians.
Today that message is that we love our country. We will defend Canada’s independence, Canada’s values and Canada’s prosperity. In such times, coming together to support each other and to cooperate together is more important than ever.
By showing your love for Canada, and your fellow Canadians, you are strengthening our desire to work through this together. And when we have done that, when these challenges are behind us, the Canada that emerges from this period will be even better and more worthy of our true patriot love.
Canadians, Manitobans are kind, courageous and we are strong.
Thank you for standing on guard for Canada.
Thank you. Merci. Meegwich. Shalom
