Diwali is the festival of lights – a time to celebrate the light, the hope, and the inner strength within each of us.
It is a time for many traditions to be shared with family and friends, and a time to look to the bright future ahead.
Every Canadian can share in that hope for the future.
Around the world, our multicultural nation is a beacon of hope. We pride ourselves on our openness and our compassion. We strive to build an inclusive society, where all people are respected and celebrated.
But we’re not there yet. So we must draw on the good within each of us, to open our hearts and minds, and increase our understanding of one another. So that one day we may share a country where race and religion; color and language are not barriers, but rather reasons to celebrate each other.
On behalf of New Democrats everywhere, I wish you and your family the very best at this special time of hope and light.
Best wishes for Diwali and happy New Year!
Diwali aur naiya saal mubarak!
