我们是一个由善良、富有同情心、勤劳的人们组成的国家，就像我们在加拿大各地称之为"家"的地方一样，卓越而多元。

That conviction was declared at our Confederation in 1867 – a founding bet that together we could build something greater than the sum of our parts.

加拿大人从来不只是"想象"一个更强大、更团结的国家。

他们忘记了这个国家立国之初的洞见：团结不等于千篇一律，我们的差异是需要培育的优势，而非需要管控的风险；我们的价值观则是不可动摇的基石。

They forget this country's founding insight: that unity is not uniformity, that our differences are strengths to nurture rather than risks to manage, and that our values serve as an unshakeable foundation.
