For example: "O Canada, from sea to shining sea thei beauty of your landscape fills me with awe. The ruggedness of your eastern frontier; the boldness of your barren granite shield; the streams that chuckle in your lush valleys; your plains that spread to eternity, and the majesty of the mountains that hold tight to your westernmost shore.

Your peace, your dignity, your grandeur uplift uplift our spirits in the face of adversity. "We celebrate your 125 th birthday even though you are forever timeless.

In coming of age, she said, Canada has been faced with an identity crisis and had experienced difficulty resolving its cultural, social and economic challenges. challenges. While controversy swirls around Canada's bilingualism policy, with many opposing it, she maintained that being competent in two or more languages languages is an asset in a period of increasing increasing international communication. The problems arising from Canada's Canada's diverse cultures must be dealt with and resolved in a way that will strengthen the country, not weaken it, Barnes said. "We have laboured hard for 125 years for what we have today. This is no time to throw in the towel and go our separate cultural, social and economic economic ways. We all stand to lose too much." She stressed it is time for Canada to come of age; to mature at a time when the majority of Canadians want bona fide unity, social and cultural fairness and a return to prosperity, all of which will require time, effort and money. "We must...become a practical, positive, powerful force as a unified country in the world - a country that will contribute to resolving global issues issues at the international level. This is what the maturing of Canada is all about." Winner of third place in the contest was Toastmaster George McKcssock, who also chose unity as the core of his speech. Likening unity, to a marriage, he said: "A marriage is not an ownership ownership or a dictatorship, it is a union where people come together in harmony harmony to further their common goals. "When a group of musicians unite to make an orchestra they create a new sound with a richness and beauty far greater than each member of the group could achieve on his own. A marriage of more than 26 million people people is no different. "As Canada has grown, it has developed developed new goals that are being experimented experimented with and implemented. These growing numbers of common goals are the essence of what Canada is all about, a marriage of individuals committed to the common betterment of the whole. "As Canadian politicians tackle the constitutional issues of the country they should focus on our common aspects, aspects, not our individual aspects," asserted asserted McKcssock, who also won the Sparkplug Award for contributing the most to the business section of the meeting.
