加拿大英语演讲稿模板1

  mr. speaker, in recent months, the international community has reacted, with virtually unanimous outrage and alarm at the rise of isil, the so-called ‘islamic state of iraq and the levant.’

  isil has established a self-proclaimed caliphate, at present stretching over a vast territoryroughly from aleppo to near baghdad, from which it intends to launch a terrorist jihad notmerely against the region but on a global basis.

  indeed it has specifically targeted canada and canadians, urging supporters to attack, quote, ‘disbelieving canadians in any manner’, vowing that we should not feel secure even in ourhomes.

  it would be convenient to dismiss such statements as the mere rambling of lunatics were itnot for the fact that isil’s deeds have been fully in line with its words.

  more shockingly, isil’s words are matched by its actions.

  in the territory isil has occupied it has conducted a campaign of unspeakable atrocitiesagainst the most innocent of people.

  it has tortured and beheaded children, it has raped and sold women into slavery, it hasslaughtered minorities, captured prisoners and innocent civilians whose only crime is being orthinking differently from isil.

  indeed by late last summer, isil stood on the brink of committing large-scale genocide innorthern iraq.

  it was at that moment that canada’s allies in the international community, led by presidentobama, decided to intervene.

  canadians have joined in this response.

  on september 5th, i announced that members of the canadian army, in a non-combat role,would advise and assist security forces in iraq battling the terrorists.

  we had already begun, through the royal canadian air force, moving weapons and suppliesdonated by our allies to security forces in northern iraq.

  and we indicated that canada was prepared to do more.

  today we are bringing forward a motion asking this house to confirm its confidence for agovernment decision to join our allies and partners – the united states, the united kingdom,france, australia, denmark, the netherlands, belgium, jordan, saudi arabia, bahrain, theunited arab emirates and likely others – in launching air strikes against isil.

  in addition to these air strikes, the government of canada will, in response to requests fromiraqi authorities as well as other allies and partners, continue to assist in other, non-combat,counter-terrorism roles.

  we will also contribute one air-to-air refuelling aircraft, two aurora surveillance aircraft, andthe necessary air crews and support personnel.

  in addition we are extending the deployment in a non-combat role of the up to 69 membersof the canadian army advising and assisting security forces in iraq.

  there will however be no ground combat mission, which is explicitly ruled out in theresolution.

  these contributions are for a period of up to six months.

  let me be clear on the objectives of this intervention.

  we intend to significantly degrade the capabilities of isil.

  specifically, its ability to either engage in military movements of scale, or to operate basesin the open.

  this will halt isil’s spread in the region and greatly reduce its capacity to launch terroristattacks outside the region.

  to be clear, this will not eliminate isil nor automatically ensure that alternative governanceis able to occupy its space in iraq or syria.

  it will, however, open the opportunity for others to do so.

  but again to be clear, while isil will not be eliminated, the risks presented from the territoryin which it operates will be significantly reduced to those of other similar ungoverned spaces inthe broader region.

  there are, mr. speaker, two other matters on which i wish to elaborate.

  first, the resolution confirms the government of canada’s intention to strike isil and itsallies.

  we will strike isil where and only where canada has the clear support of the government ofthat country.

  at present this is only true in iraq.

  if it were to become the case in syria, then we will participate in air strikes against isil inthat country also.

  the revulsion of the government of canada to the actions of the assad regime is well known.

  but we are participating only in a counter-terrorism operation against the terrorists aroundisil.

  we have no intention of participating in a war against the government of any country in theregion.

  second, let me assure canadians that the government is seized with the necessity of avoidinga prolonged quagmire in this part of the world.

  the actions we have announced are ones that could be ended with relative ease.

  indeed, we and our allies are acting now precisely to avoid a situation that was clearly headedto a wider, protracted and much more dangerous conflict.

  let me also say that the military measures we are taking do not in any way precludehumanitarian actions.

  there is no either/or here.

  in response to horrifying human suffering, we have already been providing emergency shelterand urgent health care for thousands of civilians in iraq through support to humanitarianorganizations on the ground, and substantial assistance to the government of iraq.

  this is in addition to large scale financial assistance already being furnished to the significantnumber of countries in the region that have been impacted by the humanitarian catastrophein syria.

  let me also assure canadians that the government will continue to be seized with the broaderterrorist threats against canada.

  we have strengthened laws in this country to deal with the issue of so-called canadian foreignfighters.

  we have broadened the grounds for passport revocation against such people as well asallowing for the stripping of citizenship from dual nationals who engage in terrorist activities.

  we will soon bring forward additional measures to strengthen the ability of our securityservices to monitor aspiring terrorists to where possible prevent their return to canada or towhere that is not possible give greater tools to be able to charge and prosecute.

  mr. speaker, to return to the matter before us today, i urge all members to consider and tosupport the motion we have presented.

  i do this, mr. speaker, in recognizing that in a democracy, especially one approaching anelection, there is rarely political upside in supporting any kind of military action and little riskin opposing it.

  nevertheless, for regional and global security and, of course, the security of canadians, thisaction is necessary.

  the evidence of the necessity of this, mr. speaker, there is none better than the fact that themission has been launched by president obama, the leader who had withdrawn americantroops and proudly ended the war in iraq.

  of course, mr. speaker, one could say that while the mission is evidently necessary, we don’thave to be the ones doing it because others will.

  but, mr. speaker, throughout our history that has never been the canadian way.

  it has never been the canadian way to do only the most easy and praiseworthy of actions and toleave the tough things for others.

  indeed, mr. speaker, colleagues, we should be under no illusion.

  if canada wants to keep its voice in the world, and we should since so many of our challengesare global, being a free rider means you are not taken seriously.

  the threat posed by isil is real.

  and it is grave.

  and it is explicitly directed, in part, against this country.

  left unchecked, this terrorist threat can only grow and grow quickly.

  as a government we know our ultimate responsibility is to protect canadians and to defendour citizens from those who would do harm to us or our families.

  we also know that our country, like our allies, shares the duty and burden of all free peoples, toact against wider global threats when it is in our capacity to do so.

  and when our allies recognize and respond to a threat that would also harm us, wecanadians do not stand on the sidelines.

  we do our part.

  on monday, this house will debate the motion put forward for an air combat campaignagainst isil.

  i call on all members of this house to show their support for this mission and of course oursupport for the brave men and women of the canadian armed forces who are now and alwaysready and willing to answer the call of their country.

  thank you, shelly, for that kind introduction.

  thank you to suzanne sarault for serving as our emcee today.

  greetings to chief of defence staff general lawson, to chief warrant officer west, toambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps, to my colleagues from the parliament ofcanada, royal galipeau and pierre lemieux, members of the canadian armed forces, honouredveterans and families, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

  as shelly said, a century has passed now since the dull roar of the guns of august was firstheard and all across europe, the lights of peace faded.

  this great conflict on the other side of an ocean need not have involved us.

  but then, as now, when our friends and the values we share with them are threatened,canadians do not turn away.

  so it was that in 1914, canadian and newfoundland volunteers – newfoundland being then aseparate dominion – accepted this call to arms as a duty.

  at the end of the summer of 1914, canadians left behind factories, fields, forests and fisheries.

  they left their homes, shops, offices and schools.

  men by the tens of thousands signed up to fight.

  men like leo clarke, frederick hall and robert shankland, who all lived on pine street inwinnipeg.

  men like brothers bernard and eric ayre and their cousins gerald and wilfrid of st. john’s,newfoundland.

  men like george vanier of montréal, a young lawyer who had considered joining the priesthoodbefore hearing the call of duty.

  and women like beatrice mcnair from vancouver, one of 2,500 nursing sisters who servedoverseas.

  the first canadians left for europe that october.

  many thought they’d be home for christmas.

  some of them actually worried that they’d get over there too late to do their part.

  as we all know, they were terribly, terribly wrong.

  though the commitment to war was uncertain, over 600,000 canadians fought to defendour country, only eight million strong at the time.

  the mud, the blood and the sacrifices that marked those years left more than a third of thesecanadians dead or wounded.

  forgive me if i do not dwell on these numbers, the bitter harvest of suffering and death.

  we have had a hundred years to contemplate this war.

  much has been written on this subject.

  and yet, what it means to have lived in muck and disease, to fight through mud deep enoughto drown a man, to lose thousands of lives in a single day to gain what could be measured inyards.

  the sense of these things still eludes us.

  we can only imagine their courage, their fear, the devotion they had to king, to country, andto comrades that drove them over the top to take the fight to the enemy time and time again.

  so let us pass on and dwell instead on what they achieved.

  though inexperienced, these young men of 1914 were determined.

  by the time the war was in its final days, they were admired by the allies and dreaded by theenemy.

  they were called the shock troops of the british empire.

  it is difficult to measure heroism, but if the awarding of our greatest military honour tells thestory, then let the records show that of the 98 canadians who have earned the victoria cross, 72 of them did so in the first world war.

  three of those heroes were the boys of pine street: corporal leo clarke, sergeant-majorfrederick hall, and lieutenant robert shankland.

  and so pine street in winnipeg is now called valour road.

  it’s also difficult to measure sacrifice.

  yet on the first day of the battle of the somme when canadians and when british andcommonwealth forces suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, among those killed were all four ayreboys.

  a st. john’s newspaper ventured this: that “the price of freedom is paid in tears.”

  the first world war decimated an entire generation of young canadians.

  so many communities like st. john’s.

  so many tears.

  yet amid the appalling loss, by any measure, canada as a truly independent country wasforged in the fires of the first world war.

  that is to say when the great nations of the world gathered, we must never forget that ourplace at the table was not given to us.

  it was bought and paid for on the gas-choked battlefield at ypres where john mccrae wrote hisimmortal work, in flanders fields; at vimy ridge, where canadian men under canadian leadersachieved a victory that had eluded so many others; in the drenched and cratered wastelandof passchendaele, where lieutenant shankland earned his victoria cross; in the sombre andblood-soaked field hospitals, where beatrice mcnair would become one of the first canadianwomen to receive military honours for gallantry, standing by her post and comforting herpatients under constant bombardment.

  as the allies relentlessly pushed ahead during the final hundred days of the war, an enemyshell cost major george vanier a leg.

  but vanier survived and continued serving his country, going on to become its first french-canadian governor general.

  on each battlefield where canadians fought, they made a bold statement.

  no matter the price in blood and treasure, canada would go all in to ensure peace and freedomfor all.

  canada was of course young then, full of ideals.

  we are no longer quite so young.

  still, our commitment to values has never wavered.

  so as canadians went to europe 100 years ago when an old imperialism tore apart thecontinent’s peace, again in 1939 we entered the fray, this time to defeat fascism.

  it’s why with our allies we joined arms across europe after the second world war to stem thetide of communism.

  it’s why we stepped in after september 11, 20xx, when the defenders of liberty attacked theterrorists seeking to destroy us.

  and it is why today we stand once again with friends and allies whose sovereignty, whoseterritorial integrity, indeed whose very freedoms and existence are still at risk.

  wherever, whenever those values we hold most dear have been threatened, canada has beenprepared to defend and preserve them.

  and so the words of prime minister robert borden still speak to us today.

  a hundred years ago this month he told a special war-time session of parliament that canadahad gone to war, “not for love of battle, not for lust of conquest, not for greed of possessions,but for the cause of honour, to maintain solemn pledges, to uphold principles of liberty.”

  and i say that nothing has changed.

  for our canada is still today loyal to our friends, unyielding to our foes, honourable in ourdealings, and courageous in our undertakings.

  this remains the character of our country.

  earlier today, we all gathered at our national war memorial.

  it was created to commemorate the canadians who served and died in the first world war.

  those years – 1914 to 1918 – are there, forever carved in granite.

  over the past century other dates have been chiselled into the monument to commemoratecanada’s contributions from 1939 to 1945, from 1950 to 1953 and, now, from 20xx to 20xx.

  but these dates are not just carved in stone, they are etched in our hearts.

  here at home we have cenotaphs in every community, the national war memorial, the tomb ofthe unknown soldier.

  a short while ago at the national war memorial, i was informed that from this day forth thesentries at the tomb of the unknown soldier will extend their solemn vigil from vimy ridgeday every april until remembrance day each fall.

  now, let me conclude with this.

  ladies and gentlemen, these monuments will endure.

  but monuments are not memories.

  the last survivor of those courageous men and women who went off to war a century ago,john babcock, passed away in 20xx.

  no longer can they tell their stories of courage and honour and duty.

  but every time we take a stand to defend the values for which they fought and for which somany died, we remember their stories in the only way that really matters.

  we hold these values dear, whether we have been here for generations or are newcomers to thisland, in search of a better life.

  justice and freedom, democracy and the rule of law, human rights and human dignity.

  for a century, these are the things for which our fellow citizens, including so many in this room,have fought.

  and this is the ground on which we will always take our stand.

  lest we forget.

  thank you.

  sunny ways, my friends, sunny ways. this is whatpositive politics can do. this is what a causative,hopeful – a hopeful vision and a platform and ateam together can make happen. canadians –canadians from all across this great country sent aclear message tonight. it"s time for a change in thiscountry, my friends, a real change.

  i also want to specifically thank my good friendskatie telford and gerald butts. katie and gerry aretwo of the smartest, toughest, hardest workingpeople you will find anywhere. they share with me the conviction that politics doesn"t have tobe negative and personal to be successful, that – that you can appeal to the better angels ofour nature, and you can win while doing it.

  tonight, my very good friends, we proved that. i hope it is an inspiration to like-mindedpeople to step up and pitch in, to get involved in the public life of this country and to knowthat a positive, optimistic, hopeful vision of public life isn"t a naive dream; it can be apowerful force for change.

  and i also want to thank the incredible volunteers that made tonight happen. over 80,000canadians got involved in the core of this campaign. they knocked on their neighbours" doors.they made phone calls. they sent emails. hundreds of thousands more supported us activelywith their friends and online. they convinced their neighbours and their families. and all ofthese people had one thing in common: they care deeply about their families, theircommunities and their country. they believe that better is possible and that active citizens canplay a real part in making it happen.

  now, this movement we"ve built was fuelled by these amazing volunteers, and from thebottom of my heart, i thank you.

  now, i want to take a moment to speak about my colleagues across the aisle. tonight, ireceived phone calls from all of them, including from mr. harper. stephen harper has servedthis country for a decade, and as with anyone who has devoted their life to this country, wethank him for his service.

  now, over the course of this campaign, i had the opportunity to have a couple of briefpersonal conversations with him about our families. it reminded me of the extraordinary andunique sacrifices that are made by anybody who serves this country at the highest levels, and iwant to remind everyone, as i"ve said many times over the course of this campaign:conservatives are not our enemies, they"re our neighbours. leadership is about bringing peopleof all different perspectives together.

  now, you"re all going to hear a lot tonight and tomorrow about me and about our campaign.lots of people are going to have lots of opinions about why we were successful. well, for threeyears, we had a very old-fashioned strategy. we met with and talked with as many canadiansas we could, and we listened. we won this election because we listened. we did the hard workof slogging it across the country. we met with hundreds of people in the dead of winter in thearctic and with thousands of people in brampton in the middle of this campaign.

  you built this platform. you built this movement. you told us what you need to be successful.you told us what kind of government you want, and we built the plan to make it happen. incoffee shops and in town halls, in church basements and in gurdwaras, you gathered. you spenttime together with us, and you told us about the kind of country you want to build and leave toyour children.

  over the past three years, you told us what you"re going through. you told us that it"s gettingharder and harder to make ends meet, let alone to get ahead. you told us you"re worried aboutwhether you"ll be able to afford a dignified retirement. you told us that your communities needinvestment. you told us you need a fair shot at better jobs. you are the inspiration for ourefforts. you are the reason why we worked so hard to be here tonight, and you will be at theheart of this new government.

  so my message to you tonight, my fellow citizens, is simple: have faith in yourselves and inyour country, know that we can make anything happen if we set our minds to it and work hard.

  i didn"t make history tonight, you did. and don"t let anyone tell you any differently. i know thati am on stage tonight for one reason and one reason only: because you put me here. and yougave me clear marching orders. you want a government that works as hard as you do, one thatis focused every minute of every day on growing the economy, creating jobs and strengtheningthe middle class, one that is devoted to helping less fortunate canadian families work theirway into the middle class.

  you want a prime minister who knows canada is a country strong, not in spite of ourdifferences, but because of them, a pm who never seeks to divide canadians, but takes everysingle opportunity to bring us together. you want a prime minister who knows that ifcanadians are to trust their government, their government needs to trust canadians, a pm whounderstands that openness and transparency means better, smarter decisions. you want aprime minister that knows that a renewed nation-to-nation relationship with indigenouspeoples that respects rights and honours treaties must be the basis for how we work to closethe gap and walk forward together.

  canadians – canadians have spoken. you want a government with a vision and an agenda forthis country that is positive and ambitious and hopeful. well, my friends, i promise youtonight that i will lead that government. i will make that vision a reality. i will be that primeminister.

  in this election, 1,792 canadians stepped up, put their names on ballots and on lawn signsand ran for office. three hundred and thirty-eight of them were chosen by you to be their voicesin ottawa, and i pledge tonight that i will listen to all of them.

  there are a thousand stories i could share with you about this remarkable campaign, but iwant you to think about one in particular. last week, i met a young mom in st. catharines,ontario. she practises the muslim faith and was wearing a hijab. she made her way through thecrowd and handed me her infant daughter, and as she leaned forward, she said something thati will never forget. she said she"s voting for us because she wants to make sure that her littlegirl has the right to make her own choices in life and that our government will protect thoserights.

  to her, i say this: you and your fellow citizens have chosen a new government, a governmentthat believes deeply in the diversity of our country. we know in our bones that canada wasbuilt by people from all corners of the world who worship every faith, who belong to everyculture, who speak every language.

  we believe in our hearts that this country"s unique diversity is a blessing bestowed upon usby previous generations of canadians, canadians who stared down prejudice and foughtdiscrimination in all its forms. we know that our enviable, inclusive society didn"t happen byaccident and won"t continue without effort. i have always known this; canadians know it too. ifnot, i might have spoken earlier this evening and given a very different speech.

  have faith in your fellow citizens, my friends. they are kind and generous. they are open-minded and optimistic. and they know in their heart of hearts that a canadian is a canadian,is a canadian.

  my friends, we beat fear with hope. we beat cynicism with hard work. we beat negative,divisive politics with a positive vision that brings canadians together. most of all, we defeatedthe idea that canadians should be satisfied with less, that good enough is good enough andthat better just isn"t possible. well, my friends, this is canada, and in canada, better is alwayspossible.

  thank you. thank you very much.
