Statement
by the Prime Minister of Canada on the Christmas Season
Ottawa, Ontario
25 December 2014
This Christmas, we Canadians have
many reasons to celebrate.
We live in a beautiful country, a
compassionate country, a prosperous country.
Despite the difficulties
elsewhere in the world, Canada’s economy is getting ever stronger, and more
Canadians have more opportunities and better jobs than ever before.
Importantly, around the world our
country is also known for doing what is good and right, and for protecting the
vulnerable, promoting peace, and defending the freedom of all people.
Amid all the festivities, please
say a prayer of thanks for the brave men and women in uniform, who serve this
Christmas in harm’s way, especially those fighting the terrorists of the
so-called Islamic State.
In our abundance, and in the
spirit of Christmas, I’d also ask you to show kindness to the less fortunate.
And as you gather with friends
and family, may you be filled with love, joy, peace and most of all, hope for
the future.
On behalf of the Government of
Canada and from my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and
Season’s Greetings. |
