  transcontinental railway, in 1885, to connect the
  nation.

  brought forth on this continent, a new nation,
  conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the
  proposition that all men are created equal
• WINSTON CHURCHILL
• We shall defend our island, whatever the cost
  may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall
  fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in
  the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in
  the hills we shall never surrender

color of their skin, but by the content of their
character PETER LOUGHEED Our purpose is not
merely a victory at the poles, we are concerned
with the use we are going to make of the
victory. Upon introducing the 12 guideposts in
