Amid recent global changes, should Canada continue to endorse a balanced ‘three pillar’ approach to its foreign policy objectives, or should the current balance be adjusted?

Answer:
The "Three Pillars" approach seems overly simplistic and selfish. Employment is an internal issue, not necessarily a global one. I would applaud the protection of resources, the respect of individuals, and the assistance of other nations in need. I agree with the promotion of prosperity, the protection of security within a stable global framework, and the projection of Canadian values and culture. I believe that Canada has a lot to offer the world and this should be promoted. We are a group of intellectuals and a people of passion. We need to analyze the people who make up our population before we attempt to "sell" it overseas.
