I took some time and did just that, and I would like to share some of my thoughts with you. Stephen Leacock wrote in the reflective history, 'Canada, The Foundation of it's Future", - "of all the natural resources of Canada, the greatest is it's people." That promise is as valid now as it was then. Nonetheless, when we examine Canada today, we find a perplexing contrast. We are as pleased with freedom and material well- being as any nation on earth, but realistically, new and often difficult relationships have emerged in our social and political order. Their intensity has caused us all to reflect on two vital subjects - who are we and where are we going? Treasures It is a cause of genuine wonder that Canadians should appear to have lost their bearings. Canadians, of all people - so blessed with space and natural treasures, with political freedom and social stability. To others perhaps even more than to ourselves, Canada's possibilities have always seemed to be as limitless as the far horizons. Ontario has the world's fastest growing labour force, including the many thousands of immigrants that have helped transform a once parochial province into a diversified Ontario. The weekend that was...| Opportunities There -is an enormously healthy common denominator in all of this. It is quite simply that more Canadians than ever are feeling comfortable and are enjoying and asserting the opportunities for fulfillment in diverse pasts of the country and it is a source of strength to be celebrated rather than a development to be dreaded. Quite obviously, a rush of change has placed Canada and it's federal system under serious strain. The danger is that as Canadians pursue their local interest and identities, they find themselves on a collision course with other regions and communities whose aspirations differ from their own. In past years, Canadians could pursue their own goals relatively protected from conflict in a vast country, stretching across five time zones. Now such isolation is impossible. The revolutionary era of communication means that Canada's different regions and cultural communities are now more conscious of who they are and of what others have that they do not. The challenge now for Canadians is to hear and to understand one another. That new voices are speaking up, in new accents, is not to be feared but welcomed. For all this means is that Canada is growing up. It is only by understanding the many rivers of Canadian experience and the memories they carry of the past hurts and future hopes that all of us as true Canadians will be able to discover the coming together of our dreams. Happiness is helping others to help them- selves. Mary Gibson Administrator education at Theresa's went to es LeClair and Corrinne Dupuis.
