His Highness the Aga Khan on Embracing Pluralism "The world we seek is not a world where difference is erased, but where difference can be a powerful force for good, helping us to fashion a new sense of cooperation and coherence in our world, and to build together a better life for all". October 15th, 2010, Institute of Canadian Citizenship The Rt. Honorable Adrienne Clarkson 6 Degrees Experiments in Pluralism: In making room for others, we make room for ourselves – and for Canada “There is something particular about Canada, with its atmosphere of benevolent neglect, of letting people alone, that makes it possible for those who arrive with nothing, to sense that they can belong and be part of something they can help to construct”. September 1, 2016, 6 Degrees

God Save The Queen

"God save our gracious Queen Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us: God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise, Scatter thine enemies, And make them fall:

Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On thee our hopes we fix: God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store, On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign: May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen."

Canada

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
