OK, now that we have had our race to the bottom ("the lowest form of communication" indeed) and have made a few skilful points along the way, could we please return to the topic of developing Canada's foreign policy.

We hope that all of the active discussants in this forum will make sure that they have answered the questions in the Minister's paper. The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is serious about listening to Canadians, however they are far more interested in the contributions to the Minister's discussion paper. There you will find 13 questions, as many of you know. Please do answer. There are many thoughtful views and participants in the forums. The longer range issues surrounding Canada's foreign policy are harder to address than the daily news (important as that news clearly is), but if we as citizens want to play a role in shaping foreign policy, it is timely to read the paper and reply.

Meanwhile, this line of discussion can go nowhere but up, and if you two know one another and would like to continue your witty repartee, please do it privately. Thanks
