One year ago, Citizen Katz articulated a theme that would sum up this high point for Ontario, in this, our election triumph.

Service *stops reading*

I am sorry, I have no doubt that these words are heart felt, but I didnt write them *tearing up the cards* And I am not sure that I err

The truth is, none of us expected this. None of us entered this political campaign, we didnt fight, we abided by the terms of the *emotion tinges his voice* of what we were required to do after Martial Law in Ontario.

Citizen Katz, its a name that struck a resonant chord with the people here, he spoke about Ontarian needs, Ontarian thoughts, and Ontarian Rights.

I was with him during his campaign, I was his deputy in the Party, and I stood by his side when he made the descision, one he hated, to leave this system to end the violence and allow these elections to be a reality.

Whatever his initial reasons for coming here were, I know those reasons changed. I know this because I was there to see them change. Ironically it was during a hockey game, here on the station. I was err in that crowd it was not an easy day for any of us.

As much as it shook me, it rattled Citizen Katz to the bone.

One night, during his imprisonment after he surrendered, during the long nights during his trial. I sat with him, Planet Huron out of the porthole.

This huge red world with this equally huge presence. And I looked at this man, who was sitting serenely staring at it. And he said to me

All of this is ours, this is a part of our nation, and our heritage.

And we carried that message.

Whenever asked, what is Ontario? I never had to search for an answer, because I knew, I knew that the question itself is the answer. And to those that live amongst us, and they do live amongst us, who say what is so special about being Ontarian that we must struggle to preserve it? I say:

For shame, For shame.

I will buy you a ticket on a ship, or a mining truck, or make them stand on the deck of the battleship Ottawa or I will fly them to Dryden, or Thunderbay so that they can look back at their own nation and see it for what it is beautiful.

We are this system, we are always moving. We are not set in stone, for stone can not endure. And the only thing that can endure is change, the ever whirling wheel of change, and we are not finished, we are not nearly finished no, we are not remotely finished.

No Sir! No Sir we are not Finished!

Ontario has spoken, Ontarians have spoken. About our future, the future of Ontario.

And in that resounding voice, we have stood up and said we are ONTARIAN!
