Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Canada´s Effort It behoved us, before enquiring into the nature and distant origin of "Canada´s Effort´, to embody in a striking and significant image the symbolical meaning that attaches to the union of the French and British colors waving side by side along the far-flung battle-line, that they may proclaim to the whole world under the vast canopy of heaven and across the boundless expanse of land and water, the universal sovereignty of Justice, the eternal dominance of Public Right, the distinction between Good and Evil, and the unswerving determination whereby, in the present world-tragedy, the flower of the human race are urged on through a sea of blood and tears, in the face of honorable danger and glorious affliction, to earn by the sublime virtue of self-sacrifice the reward of peace in victory and consolation in freedom. Canada´s Effort is one of the most stirring chapters in the history of France and England. France and England, before they became united in the glorious brotherhood of arms, before they fought shoulder to shoulder for civilisation against savagery, were divided by bitter and protracted struggles, of which it were not meet, on this solemn occasion, to minimise the importance or to ignore the motive. Each of those two brave and single-minded nations strove for their rightful share of Adam´s inheritance, to use an old stock phrase, and they each laid claim, by right of prior occupancy, to the distant lands, the mysterious rivers, the deep forests, the unexplored gulfs, to all those alluring regions beyond the seas, to which Jacques Cartier, chief pilot of Saint-Malo, chosen for the purpose by Philippe Chabot, Admiral of France, had been deputed by King Francis I, when in 1534, he discovered the mouth of the river Hochelaga and bestowed upon it the name of Saint-Laurent.
