哈珀昨天在渥太华举行的纪念活动上表示，一个世纪以来，有超过600艘军舰驶离加国港口，执行使命，成为加国的骄傲。它们分别在两次世界大战、韩战和包括波斯湾及阿富汗等维和活动中服役，同时还在北极和加勒比海域履行国家的需要。在1939年至1945年期间，加国海军有超过2000名军人为国捐躯，并损失了24艘战舰。当时加拿大拥有世界第三大的战舰。
哈珀强调说，当今世界的海洋不再成为加国与世界沟通的遥远障碍，彼此在政治、经济、金融和社会的联系更为紧密。
在全国各地，昨天都有纪念活动。在哈利法克斯，上千海员从海军基地游行至市政府。在维多利亚，近3千名海军在市内也举行了纪念活动。当天下午，卑诗省督为新的纪念雕塑揭幕。
据悉，本周日（9日）海军将举行活动纪念大西洋战役一百周年；10日，加拿大邮政总局将发行两枚邮票，纪念加国海军百年诞辰。6月，英国女王将造访哈利法克斯，也是纪念活动的一部分。 |

Sylvester Stallone’s character is asked what the plan of attack is against
the man responsible for the execution of a fellow "Expendable." His
directive, like the movie itself, is simple.
“Track him. Find him. Kill him.”
That mission - seeking revenge for a fallen comrade - is played to great fun
in the action-packed throwback "The Expendables 2."
