The current policy should be adjusted. Your paper states that not only did Canada pursue the NAFTA agreement, but we are actively pursuing the FTAA. The Canadian gov't has helped shape the global economy in its involvement in the WTO which you say 'provide living standards worldwide'. W |

The 3 pillars are OK as long as it is pricipled with ethical treatment of other nations and persons. Our prosperity should never be at the expense of others or at the expense of the environment. Sustainable prosperity needs to be the main focus. |

I would suggest getting a handle on the corporately controlled National and International press releases and television news broadcasts. How can our Canadian interests be served when our present politicians can be ushered in or out with the mere inundation of misleading media presentations. Our ec |

I believe the 3 pillars succinctly articulate our goals. The emphasis should be on security and promotion of our democratic values abroad. The economic prosperity will tend to follow on its own from a safer Canada and a more democratic world.

Canada should endorse a balanced "THREE PILLAR" approach to its foreign policy. Those "three pillars" which should form a basis of our foreign policy are:
(i) Establishing justice and fairness
(ii) Establishing peace and promoting values such as human rights, democracy, etc

In addition to “three pillars”, there must be specific reference to practicing and promoting respect for international law, strengthening the United Nations and defending justice throughout the world. Also the focus under the security pillar should be primarily based on human security.

The three pillars as discussed in this 'dialogue' are NOT in the same order as in the 1995 Canada in the World. In that paper, the first Pillar was stated to be Prosperity and Employment and deemed to be the 'core' of the policy. Security in a stable global environment and promotion |

It would appear that the first pillar, protection of our security within a stable global framework, is in danger of being used to erode civil liberties and to discourage immigrants and refugees in the wake of the US reaction to the events of 11 September 2001. Promotion of a stable global framework |

I do not feel we have a three pillar approach, unless the three pillars are profit, profit and profit. Most Canadians value our health care system, public education, public stewardship of the environment, public ownership of water, the CBC and other public cultural institutions, etc, and yet our gov |

Yes, I would like Canada to really follow these three pillars.
Security - would mean people are free from poverty, have acess to health care, security in their old age, can properly care for their children. Are free from the threat of war and environmental collapse.
Prosperity and Employment - em |
