I think the answers presented in this foreign policy dialogue note a lack of understanding, among the general population, of the meaning of Canadian Foreign Policy.

Foreign Affairs policies have only recently emmerged in the everyday world. They used to be reserved for the elites of this country.

The answers propose here are maybe not serious, but there are cleary necessary for the Government to adopt a more inclusive approach to foreign policy

I agree with you that for the general populace Foreign Affairs was out of reach for most people. I agree that dialogue will help out a lot. And I've noticed that now most answers i read are much more objective and balanced... So I`m getting more happy! And i`m even finding out that most of the people have the same views as me!

But one month ago, i could immediately guess by reading the answers, the ethnic background of the person who answered! (That is not normal in my mind!)...
