We’re facing really tough times right now, there’s no doubt. But as a country, we』ve been through tough times before. Just think of what it was like on Easter Monday(Easter Monday: 復活節次日) in 1917. Think about the thousands of soldiers from across Canada who ran uphill through sleet(雨夾雪) and mud at Vimy Ridge(維米嶺:第一次世界大戰的維米嶺戰役), into enemy fire to defend the values we hold dear. Many made the ultimate sacrifice that day. But their bravery and courage live on. In our nurses, doctors, paramedics, and custodial workers. In our truckers, cashiers, and all frontline workers. They are our heroes now, standing on the shoulders of those who came before. And today, we are all being called upon to join them, and to serve.
無可否認,我們現在正面臨非常艱難的時期,作為一個國家,我們以前也面對過種種考驗,大家可以想像,在1917年復活節次日,就在維米嶺,數以萬計的加拿大戰士們翻山越嶺,雨雪兼程,不知越過多少泥濘,衝向敵軍的炮火,去捍衛我們一直堅守的信念。就在當天,無數的戰士們做出了最後的犧牲。英雄遠去,精神長存!我們的護士、醫生、醫護人員、保姆,我們的貨車司機、收銀員和所有前線工作人員,他們繼承了先烈遺志,傳承著先烈薪火,他們現在就是我們的英雄,今天,我們每個人都有屬於自己的使命:我們要加入他們的行列,為人民服務。
