I was standing at the RCAF memorial in Greisbach and it occurred to me the utter tragedy it would have been if Alberta separation had been supported. I haven’t spoken or written anything about this subject to date, but just this one time, because of the sacrifices and tragedies of the past, I think it’s important that we understand that the true beauty of humanity is our ability to work together and the true ill comes when we split apart.

On this day of all days let us look forward with hope and joy and, dare I say it, love.
