Terry Fox. And I'll tell you why.
Canadians don't want to be heroes.
But, Canadians wish they could make a difference, somehow, somewhere.
Canadians don't care if the world thinks this is the best place to live.
Canadians want to get up in the morning, put in a good days work, return home and be with the ones they love.
Canadians want to be proud of the sacrifices of the few, so the many wouldn't have to.
Canadians want to remember someone who stood for something once, where no one stands now.
Canadians want to know that there still are people who give a damn.
I would have liked the chance to talk to him, if only for awhile.
Just to tell him that I will remember.
