| Description | Thousands of Canadians gathered on Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada's 140th birthday, in a bash featuring music, a flypast by the Snowbirds, the RCMP Musical Ride and fireworks.
Among those in attendance were Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who said in a video greeting that Canadians have much to celebrate.
"From championships in hockey to humanitarian and military leadership roles in Afghanistan and Haiti, we can say again this year, Canada is a citizen of the world and we make our contribution a positive one," he said.
Harper said Canada's North is what defines Canada more than just about anything else and that Arctic regions symbolize a great untapped promise.
"I believe that whether our ancestors came from the East, the West, or the South, as Canadians we always look to the North for the true definition of our country." |
