Premier Doug Ford has delivered a statement on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, crediting the long-serving monarch with teaching us “the true meaning of selfless service.”
In a lengthy statement issued on Thursday afternoon, Tory offered his “heartfelt condolences” to the Royal Family as well as “the many people throughout the Commonwealth who will be feeling a profound sense of loss” in the wake of the Queen’s death.
“Over the course of her more than 70-year reign, The Queen's sense of duty and devotion to public service was unflagging,” Tory said. “She traveled more than any other monarch, and Canada was the country she most often visited. She even referred to Canada as her second home.” “Today, as we mourn The Queen's passing we are thankful for the long life she has lived, devoted to our service and the service of the entire Commonwealth. We pray that she has now found rest and peace everlasting,” Tory said.
