.they will never know

They will never know the beauty of this place
see the seasons change
enjoy nature's chorus.
All we enjoy we owe to them
men and women who lied buried
in the earth of foreign lands and in the seven seas.
Dedicated to the memory of canadians
who died in the service of their country
and so preserved our heritage.

Because Canada is not only a great country, is not only a bunch of wonderful people...because Canada is not only green neverending forests, high, snowy and fierce mountains, peaceful oceans and powerful rivers...because Canada is not only bears, wolves, cougars, seals and sea-lions.
Because Canada is an Idea, and it's the best idea I've ever been involved in.
