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 wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. Ontario's war on water pollu- tion, for example, is being waged and won. New regulations, many of which are the first of their kind in North America, are being enforced and many of our rivers and lakes are getting cleaner instead of dirtier. Housing is another battle, and on this front the Ontario Housing Corporation is active in nearly 200 communities with programs totalling close to a billion dollars. We need a vigorous economy of course, to support these im- portant programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians 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. Everytime you boost Ontario ... Ontario and Canada, get a little stronger. Government of Ontario 0 John Robarts, Prime Minister.
