An enduring symbol of the frontier.
Sponsor of the bill, Conservative MP Steven Bonk (Souris-Moose Mountain, Sask) makes aware to the Commons:
“It tells a story. It represents families who rose before dawn, worked through storms and endured hardships of the land with quiet determination and unwavering faith. This motion seeks to formally recognize the livestock brand by adding it to the official inventory of Canadian national symbols where it rightfully belongs alongside the maple leaf, the beaver and the Mountie. In doing so, we honour the immense contributions of ranchers, farmers and Indigenous people and we affirm the enduring significance of our Western and frontier heritage in shaping the Canadian identity. This symbol is a quiet but powerful reminder of who we are. For those of us who have lived the ranching life, a livestock brand is more than a practical tool. It is a legacy."
