Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed.Men and women who've created a standard of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that's The more people we have boosting Ontario snd Canada che better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. Human rights, for example, are real in Ontario. Our Human Rights code takes what has been theory for centuries and makes it fact. And Everytime you boost Ontario .. . that's right. As well, we recognize 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 we've built 17 social and recreation centres specifically for elderly Ontarians. We need a vigorous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarian's don't sit on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves. Which when you think about it, isn't such a bad idea. Ontario and Canada get a little stronger. f Government of Ontario (7) John Robarts, Prime Minister.
