stayed to build People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed Men and women whove created a standard of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build If we have a flaw its our chronic modesty Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians they just seldom tell anyone From an economic point of view thats wrong The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is And weve got a lot to boost with Human rights for example are real in Ontario Our Human Rights code takes what has been theory tor centuries and makes it fact And thats right As well we that Ontario senior citizens have a right to more than just a place to live they need a life to live This is why in addition to new homes for the aged weve built 17 social and recreation centres specifically for elderly We need a vigorous economy of course to support these important programs And thats where you come in Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our Incomes In twelve Ontariana dont sit on their successes Theres a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet To meet these challenges weve got to believe in ourselves Which when you think about It isnt such a bad idea you boost Ontario Ontario and Canada get a little stronger Government of Ontario John Prims Minister
