The rally will take place tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. next to the big fiddle on Sydney's waterfront. Cape Bretoners will rally for their harbour to have it dredged one way or another.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003988\" data-originallang=\"en\">Shovels in hand, young and old alike will be there to support the greatest economic opportunity of a generation for Cape Breton, an opportunity that can only occur with the support of the federal and provincial governments, the kind of support that will allow Cape Breton to fly on its own.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003989\" data-originallang=\"en\">The dredging of Sydney Harbour would allow our island to live up to its potential, to provide jobs and opportunities for our young people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003990\" data-originallang=\"en\">I encourage everyone to come out, shovels in hand, in support of dredging the Sydney Harbour. Let us show Ottawa and Halifax that Cape Bretoners are shovel ready.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003991\" data-originallang=\"en\">I strongly recommend that the members of the government pay attention and if they may, come down and bring us a cheque.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2003987\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole aujourd'hui pour souligner la tenue d'un ralliement en faveur du dragage du port de Sydney. Cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement aura lieu demain, \u00e0 18 heures, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 du gros violon situ\u00e9 dans le secteur riverain de Sydney. Les gens du Cap-Breton vont organiser ce ralliement pour que le port soit dragu\u00e9 d'une mani\u00e8re ou d'une autre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003988\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pelles \u00e0 la main, jeunes et moins jeunes seront sur place pour manifester leur appui envers la plus grande possibilit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique jamais offerte \u00e0 toute une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de r\u00e9sidants du Cap-Breton. Cette occasion ne se concr\u00e9tisera qu'avec le soutien des gouvernements provincial et f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, ce qui permettra au Cap-Breton de voler de ses propres ailes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003989\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le dragage du port de Sydney permettra \u00e0 notre \u00eele d'atteindre son plein potentiel, de cr\u00e9er des emplois et d'offrir des d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s \u00e0 nos jeunes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003990\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'encourage tout le monde \u00e0 venir muni d'une pelle pour appuyer le dragage du port de Sydney. Montrons \u00e0 Ottawa et \u00e0 Halifax que les gens du Cap-Breton sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 passer \u00e0 l'action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2003991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je recommande fortement aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s minist\u00e9riels de se joindre \u00e0 nous, s'ils le peuvent, et de nous remettre un ch\u00e8que.</p>"
