Anglophones, francophones and allophones must all work together in a harmonious country as Canadians. We cannot erase years of history and camaraderie between provinces. Canada must keep its state of Confederation with its ten provinces and two territories. Our strength is in unity, not in separation.</p>\n<p>Today we are also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Canadian flag. May it continue to be our symbol of unity and harmony.</p>\n<p>Happy New Year to all.</p>",
