Premier Doug Ford says as Canadians pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, people should focus on what unites the country, rather than what divides it.

The ceremony took place at the Ontario Veterans’ Memorial, which next year will also be home to a memorial to honour veterans of the war in Afghanistan.
