Question 4: SecurityIn promoting the security of Canadians, where should our priorities lie? Should
Canada give a higher priority to military combat operations? To sectors such
as intelligence gathering and analysis? Or should we focus on broader security
measures, such as combatting environmental degradation and the spread of infectious
disease? What should be our distinctive role in promoting global security? |

Global Security? So far we "terrorize the terrorists" ... who we trained and armed in the first place. As long as Government Administration is granting its own affiliated corporations the billion dollar weapons manufacturing contracts ... isn't it obvious why the media arm of these corp |

Given the decline in our military capability due to underfunding, we should pull back from peacekeeping and put more emphasis on intelligence gathering and cooperation with like-minded nations, including foremost, the US.
I believe Canada should have supported the US-led war to disarm Iraq. Even |

In promoting the security of Canadians, our priorities should be to protect our nation from being harmed by internal and external forces that aim to cause harm to our society. We should participate in intelligence gathering and analysis with other nations and seek to promote global security.

No. Canada should NOT give priority to combat operations. Canada is not under threat from any major hostile country. Any intelligence gathering should be solely for the purpose of assuring the security of Canadians.

We should focus on broader security measures, environmental degradation, disease control and helping eliminate poverty in the world.
We would all be secure if Canada gave up military ties to the US and NATO so that people in other parts of the world, especially those that have been bombed and occ |

These should not be 'either/or' questions. Canada must have a competent and capable armed forces - capable of protecting Canada's interests abroad and contributing to coalition or allied actions that are in our interest. We should have an independent capability for deployment and sustain |

Canada should not give higher priority to military combat operations. Intelligence gathering and analysis is important to most countries in formulating foreign policy. The problem with these activites come when the analyses are ignored by governments. But the security of Canadians lies in the pro |

Priority - Peace and peaceful solutions
Definitely not military combat operations.
No to intelligence gathering and analysis of our own citizens.
Peaceful non-military solutions will promote global security much more effectively than war. |

Our distinctive role should be to work co-operatively with other countries to oppose war , all war. We should put more resources into a foreign affairs department of well-educated linguists and other specialists who know all about, understand and can analyse other countries. I do not see much point |

You would have to spend too much money to make Canada military substantial in comparison to other developed counties, so the best thing is to use that money to increase people morals. That way people can control themselves and will not do things that find them in trouble. Prosperity will then flou |
