Blind Man Sees - Chapter Ten

There is a strange irony in my life and in my story. I seem to be able to see things that others do not - like political and social situations. Yet at one time not so long ago I was completely blind as a result of fast growing cataracts.

My eyesight was surgically restored under the coverage of medicare. I am grateful to my nation and people for this amazing gift and I get up every morning to prove my gratitude by working for Canada and Canadians.

Beside this I have a life that would be the envy of people o f all ages and all places. I have the awesome resources of Canada at my disposal as a citizen. I have more than over ninety percent of all people whoever lived on Planet Earth – more and better education, culture, social helps like medicine and public security, food, freedom, money and on and on. I am Wealthy by virtue of being Canadian.

With my eyesight restored I have sought to do everything in my power to promote Canada. I strive to further the purposes and guard the safety of Nation and People and the Ideas that make us unique and important.

We can and do serve the world without needing to dominate it. Yet we do not accept the domination of others. Rather we seek good relations and cooperation among nations for mutual benefits. This is my core purpose.

About Me – Why Am I Doing This? - Chapter Nine

Politics has been part of my life since my earliest recollections. I was about three or four years old when my Dad started talking to me in earnest about this topic. I recall that he pulled a slender blue book from his shelf and introduced me to Hansard - The Proceedings of the House of Commons in Ottawa. He would sit and read it at length and began reading it to me from this very young age.

Howard seemed to sense that I had a vocation in this area and he nurtured it effectively in spite of my youth and the disinterest of others. He told me the democratic histories and shared the democratic values with me. He described our democratic institutions to me and told me that all people should cherish one thing above all things – Liberty.

He prompted me regularly throughout my childhood to read books that enhanced my understanding of politics and especially democratic methods of self-government. He stressed that literacy was critical for Liberty in modern societies.

So he taught me to read and write and recommended many good books to me – from The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich when I was ten to the Iliad and Odyssey the next year, as well as Webster's Dictionary and an encyclopedia set. He helped me to join the public library and then set me loose to read almost the entire collection in that small isolated northern Ontario community.

Howard stood up for my Liberty and Rights when I was a child and really had none in Law. He employed the Principles of democracy and his physical and intellectual prowess to convince 'educators' and others that they should not bully me. I was an energetic child but I was also a little delicate and vulnerable and quite sensitive, so he protected me with his prizefighter's love.

I had almost been killed when I took a giant tumble off of an outcrop near my home and Howard found me injured and ran to the hospital with me in his arms to save my life. He had watched another of his children die and seemed in no mood to go through that again. His children were precious to him, though we often did not realize how much. This injury affected everything in my life until the present.

I do this work because I have an inexplicable fondness for and love of humanity. This is an odd part of my personality that I value. I do it because I have gifts and abilities that permit me to do it. I do it because there is a compelling need.

I do it because I see practical solutions while others often only see a wall of frightening facts. I do it because no one else seems able to do it. I do it because I like the people I do it with.

Why It Matters - Chapter Eight

For me Delivering Hope is not some futuristic fantasy or a platform of false political promises. I deliver hope to people every single day. Often it's one person at a time, and sometimes it's groups or clusters of people.

This Hope is real and effective and lasting. It helps people to see that there is a way to address the current crisis without fear. It emboldens them to do the work they can do to help achieve the goals of this Agenda. It strengthens them for the work and gives them courage to go forward as part of a bigger enterprise.

I tell people that this is a perilous and difficult route through a very dangerous set of circumstances. But I add that if we succeed they will talk of this and of us for a thousand years. I don't know if Canada will remain intact for that long. But what we did and who we were shall live as a sign of hope to countless generations to come.

I know this can succeed because I have seen it succeeding in the hearts of my fellow Canadians for years now. And there is no hint that it will stop anytime soon. This movement is gaining momentum and attention.  

Canadians are seeing that they can make a difference and help shape a hopeful future for our children.  We CAN do this together.  I'm constantly surrounded by amazing Canadians who ARE doing it already - doing things I could never have imagined.  We simply need the others to join us.

This is a Crisis of historic magnitude and global proportions.  But the Math tells me that we CAN do this.   When confronted with this reality one of my friend's asked that ancient question, “If not us then who? If not now then when?”  


If we do not do it no one will.  According to my estimates no one else can do it.  It's up to us - here - now.  I have no doubt about our ability and I continue to urge our collective Will and willingness forward in the face of risky odds.  But there are no other options.  We must go forward and solve the 'Problem' together.

How to do it Democratically - Chapter Seven

There are several democratic routes we can take to the destination towards which we must press. I always choose the honest, fair, legal and sanctioned methods. So democratic methods are my only set of tools. The main tool is persuasion.

If people can be shown that there is hope and how to get from this awkward situation in which we have confined ourselves and into that hopeful and sustainable future they are likely to decide to embrace it for their own various self interests. So I am sharing the vision of how to get there with others at this point. 

I propose the use of our traditional federal political system with its parties. I have engaged these parties in discourse about these challenges and I have involved myself in one of them as I was advised by the Right Honourable Pierre Trudeau. 

I have used and do use legitimate and conventional methods that are transparent and public. There is nothing secretive or deceptive in any of this agenda I have been promoting to the Canadian people.

In fact I GOT this agenda from them. It's Canadian through and through and is placed solidly in a Canadian historic context and with Canadian values and perspectives. 

I am now urging all Canadians who want to be part of the Solution to join the Liberal Party of Canada. We will transform it into OUR party...the Liberal party of Canadians. With it we can and will govern ourselves in the manner we want and deserve, with respect for humanity, for the earth, for our children. 

If we can double the membership of the Liberal Party then those who are authorized to make decisions in the party will see and respect, because they want to dislodge this government and govern in a Liberal way. 

We need to add at least seventy thousand members of people at least fourteen years old at no cost to join. If we increase the Liberal Party membership by one hundred thousand it is the beginning of a movement to transform Canada.  

If you're fourteen or older you can help choose and elect the next Prime Minister of Canada by electing the next Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada - 'The Party of Canadians for Canadians'.   Go here and sign up as a Supporter - Liberal.ca.

My Harper said that when he's finished with Canada you won't recognize it. This is because he's trying to make it look like George Bush's America. And he's succeeding as you can see by looking at this blog post - What Stephen Harper Hates about Canada and Canadians. 

I say that when I'm finished with Canada you WILL recognize it. It will be that place you have dreamed about individually and collectively and have described in this nations public discourse over the past several years – on television, on CPAC, in books, magazines, on the radio, in schools of all kinds and everywhere we go.  I was listening with great interest and have communicated with many Canadians about the issues that move you.

Timetables & Motivations - Urgency - Chapter Six

I seem to have been born with an extraordinary capacity to do calculations and to estimate probability with incisive accuracy. Along with this I have a gift for strategic thinking and action which can transform situations of all kinds. I always do these things using democratic methods out of respect for all involved. I'm democratically minded. This is how I serve my Community. 

However I am not driven by ideology. Rather I do mathematical analysis and trust the math. For example I look at the evolution of war-ism in western culture. War has become the bedrock and cornerstone of some modern economies, driven by corporate values that only seek profit with no concern for sustainability or human health and safety. 
 

As already outlined they earn profits by war because they manufacture arms, munitions, weapon systems of all kinds and the other resources for waging war. But it becomes quickly obvious that this is not a sustainable practice. War will result in general destruction of most people. Children know this and can see the threat.

Add to this the rapid degradation of the environment that is associated with this warring lifestyle. People must rape and pillage all of the earth's resources rapidly in order to maintain profit curves and GDP performances. It's a mad circle of destruction, all driven by some clever economics models. 
 

I conclude from this that we need a new model if we hope to survive and want to succeed. Desire will drive our decision making processes and future behaviour. If we don't care enough to change and adapt then we will destroy ourselves. But this is an unjust legacy to drop on our children's shoulders and those of all potential future generations.

 

The oceans are being destroyed and compromised, as are all fresh water sources and resources, the air, the earth, everything is being polluted and made unsuitable for human health and safety. We can and should turn this around immediately and deliver Hope to our chidlren and to all of the world. It can begin here in Canada. 

We should do our part and provide leadership and example to others who do not enjoy our opportunities or possess resources like ours. They need our help and we cannot survive without their help. We need to explore the Common Ground.

This is NOT the legacy we want to leave for our children - a world of fear and filth and futility. We want them to have Hope.

We can do more than keep and publish statistics about species that are newly extinct or about the destruction of the oceans and the air and the soil.  We can and should act to reverse these frightening trends and facts.  As a natoin with a focused and unified public and political Will we can according to the Math.

"Together we are strong!"

Solutions - Chapter Five

The key element in a viable program of solutions must be Sustainability. We need “Sustainability in all things.”

We also need to learn how to do far more with far less. "Success with less."

We need to learn to share...fairly...and to act justly and kindly towards our neighbours. "Justice with Compassion."

We need to clean up the Earth - water, air and soil. Example

We have been blessed with a peaceful society and we need to share that lifestyle with others so we can all be safer. We can teach peace or study war. The choice is ours.

Embrace and promote an appropriate and compelling Vision for the Nation.

"Don't keep the peace...pass it on."

Peace and Sustainability or Death - Chapter Four

If we extrapolate the current growth rates of militarism worldwide and we calculate the cumulative harm being done to the Earth's environment and life sustaining capabilities, then it becomes apparent that we are faced with a very awkward set of prospects - scary Math.

There appears little or no hope of surviving if we humans continue to pursue these ends with these means. Destruction seems the only result under these conditions. Add to this the fact that the factor of harm grows in speed and complexity with every passing year.

It all looks pretty scary to the young television audiences and the Internet users and all who have information about this growing threat.

I propose that we test another strategy, a different approach which I will call scientific for now. Science attempts to get at truth and we need lots of truth if we are to succeed and survive.

While ideologies and visions of despair pronounce our doom, Science and Math point a way through the Storm to a hopeful future.

The 'Problem' - Chapter Three

If we are to have any hope for addressing this “crisis” successfully then we will have to examine and know the nature of the problem. This can lead to solutions.

Several of the world's largest and most powerful economies have based their financial futures on the manufacture and production of the materials of war.

They build, sell and deploy weapons and weapons systems, arms and munitions, assault vehicles for land, air, sea and even space, vast administrative and personnel infrastructures and the materials to meet the needs of what often amounts to millions of service people. This is the core driver in some economies.

This dependence upon war as a main driver of the global economy is VERY risky at this juncture in human “evolution”. We now possess weapons that can annihilate modern civilization in a day along with all of the human creatures who presently live in conflict with one another.

If people believe that they must wage war in order to eat and care for their families, they will likely do so. If they can be persuaded that the opposite is in fact true then we have some Hope. I want people to see that war is NOT a Sustainable practice.
Surprisingly people have proven able to make this shift in thinking and lifestyle. We can choose peace and abandon war. As democratic people we only have the power of persuasion to get the cooperation of others who presently disagree with us. Violence is not an option at this juncture in history [AHA].

*********

Recently I visited a friend whose grandsons were also visiting. The youngest of the two was six years old and dressed in his soccer club uniform. He was a bright young man.

As we waited for his grand-dad he looked up at me asked, “So what do you do?” Mildly surprised and amused I replied, “Well I work a lot for children.”

“What do you do for them?” he continued.

“It's hard to describe but let's try this. Do you know that there are wars all over the world and that those wars could reach us here in Canada and hurt us?” “Yes.” he responded solemnly, nodding his little head.

Impressed by his keen sensibilities I continued. “And do you know that there is a worldwide environmental disaster developing which is causing global warming and lots of other problems?” “I sure do!” he told me gravely.

“I try to work with the Prime Minister and the government to change all of that so kids can have a hopeful and happy future.” “Cool!” said the little man in the soccer suit.

"But what's that that you said?" he asked. "What's what?" "What's the Plimeister and gurvmet?" "You mean the Prime Minister and government?" "Yeah."

"Don't you know what those are?" "Nope!" "Don't worry - those are not important right now. We can change things together." He nodded firmly with his confidence bolstered as he smiled brightly and hopefully.

*********

He DIDN'T even know who those people or groups were! Yet he understood the nature of the "Problem" better than Mr. Harper and his Caucus.

In that Moment I realized that a big part of our current political dilemma in Canada is that our children see and understand the nature of the “problem” and the magnitude of the challenge this presents us with.

But our Prime Minister and the Conservative Government do not see it and consequently they cannot comfort this generation who demand real solutions - solutions that respect science and math.

They are in real need of comfort also. This is a frightening scenario that has been forced upon them and it's the backdrop for their lives. It's NOT very comfortable for them at all.

We have educated these young people and trained them in our cultural and political values. So they care about war and peace and the environment and justice and that sort of thing. They are wonderful! :) When I put out my energies to serve them and their long term interests I only feel proud to be associated with such amazing human beings. Wow!

*********

Sadly our current federal administration does not see Canada as I do. They want to build jails for these young people rather than schools and houses. They want to punish the victims of 'life in our culture' rather than help them make a new life and find new hope and opportunities.

Mr. Harper's regime seems to want “justice...cold, raw, unfeeling retribution...but only for others and not for themselves". They say this is their Christian duty. My Canada must include compassion with justice.

Underlying most political conflicts and tensions there is usually a theological point of some sort. People 'believe” things and then make policy to make those beliefs relevant in daily life.

This makes sense at some level. The trouble occurs when the theological methods that underlay doctrines and ideologies are false or faulty or lacking in excellence.

One glaring example that finds it's way into Christian theology in a deeply disturbing way [I say this as a Christian] is the notion of the "righteous" or “just” war. One must ignore the New Testament altogether in order to rationalize war and violence. War is not a Christian practice according to the Christian Bible. 

At the same time in history, in governance, in real life there is a principle that governs the decision to go to war in a democracy...and it's not economic ambition.  "War is the last stage of diplomacy."

In any case war has been no deterrent for people who desire violence above anything. They seem to feed on violence unless persuaded to do otherwise - to change and abandon violence in favour of Reason and Peace. This warring and destruction is a failure of love, both human and divine.

Peace Pays...more and better than war. Do the Math.

Crossroads in History - Chapter Two

Humanity has found themselves at awkward and dangerous crossroads numerous times throughout history. Here are a few examples.

In the 4^th Century the Roman Empire collapsed and the entire western world [Europe] was thrown into chaos and uncertainty. Then one guy emerged with one good idea. It only takes one. Saint Augustine dreamed The City of God and in so doing provided a vision that lasted over a thousand year.

Then as this vision was losing momentum and relevance in the 16th Century a young and penniless priest, monk and biblical scholar in Germany named Martin Luther provided a new vision. This vision was related to the one held by his colleague and contemporary John Calvin in Switzerland.

These two enabled the Reformation and the Enlightenment. This was the period we call The Reformation - because EVERYTHING was reconsidered and retooled.

John Knox was a Scottish minister who served as a rowing slave in a Spanish ship for eighteen months. After getting out of that unhappy situation he went to Geneva in Switzerland to meet and study with Calvin.

After this he returned to Scotland and ignited The Scottish Reformation which transformed Scotland from a place where “drunken men brawled with swords in the streets” to one which provided intellectual, cultural and every kind of leadership for humanity and provided the model and core ideas for the survival and success of the western world and beyond. That transformation took thirty years.

In England Knox's Presbyterianism was transformed into Puritanism. Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans transformed England with a revolution, the execution of a king [Charles 1] and the introduction of Parliamentary representation [democracy - government of the People by the People] as a replacement for monarchical rule - dictatorship.

The king was replaced by representatives of the people. This demonstrated the power of “an appropriate and compelling idea” - the power of Vision to transform the world.

Delivering Hope - Chapter One

“Community is the opposite of rich and poor.”

I spend all day long every day delivering real Hope to Canadians who are in despair over the Crisis we face in this age. It's a complex crisis and therefore not easily unraveled and solved. But Canadians have been diligently seeking perspective and have collectively created many of the tools we need for survival.

The whole world needs these tools and solutions. I have done an inventory of some of these solutions and have included them in the essay set Building The Canadian Dream which is a free download on my blog. Thousands and thousands have already downloaded this material since it was published there eight years ago.

We had more than two thousand downloads during the last federal election and two thousand more during the proroguing of Parliament with a constant trickle of downloads in between. People are seeking hope and solutions and finding it in this material, along with inspiration and common ground for unified action.We got almost thirty thousand hits in one month alone.

My goal is to provide sufficient inspiration and motivation to draw together thirty-four million Canadians. I want to provoke them to act in a unified way in order to save themselves and nurture a new global hope based upon our own Canadian lifestyle and values. I see this as a possible beginning of a Golden Age of Canadian Culture.

Of course this will require intense diligent work in order to Build this Dream. And we MUST build it. We cannot sit back and watch it grow. I can promise you hard work that stretches into a possibly distant but hopeful future. This is better by far than hopelessness, despair and capitulation to the Crisis and those forces which are driving it.

This blogbook is intended to enlarge the circle of care and confidence and to increase faith in the Canadian Dream and People. We need to believe in ourselves. Let me put it another way. You need to believe in yourselves the way I believe in you. I have great faith and confidence in the Canadian people and I have a deep and abiding love for our people and this nation with it's beautiful diversity.

I believe in you and want to work with you to democratically build the Dream that I see just beyond the horizon. We need only reach out and grasp the handle and then move forward like a plowman in the field.

Straight rows will follow this kind of work and good harvest will follow that. We will sew seeds of hope and harvest a crop of human goodwill, cooperation and choices.

Presently Canada is lacking that thing that is necessary for success in any enterprise or organization. We lack an appropriate and compelling Vision to guide our Federal Government, People and Nation in its diversity.

The federal government is doing their level best but they lack the perspective and vision that permits the hopeful results. I offer and promise real tangible and measurable Hope to those who are willing to work and devote themselves to Survival and Success for Canada and Canadians.

The real key to our challenge is Imagination. The creative imagination will enable us to share this vision with each other and then to realize it...to make it real in time and space. Some are already doing so and they are seeking helpers. Thirty-four million Canadian helpers and collaborators will be exactly enough to help save the world from self-destruction according to may calculations. :) We ARE good enough and big enough and suited in every way.

Therefore we need all Canadians from all places and with all political associations or none whatsoever to move together. You don't have to be political to be part of this Great Undertaking - this Great Adventure. You just have to be willing, no matter what your condition, education, background, education or location.

There is room for ALL Canadians in this great enterprise. This Plan is for you and we share ownership of this Vision. We can build a hopeful future together and quickly.

If we can successfully build this Dream then our work shall be remembered for a thousand years. I cannot promise and do not believe that Canada will survive as a separate entity for a thousand years. But we WILL be remembered for our good will and good ideas: good culture that can counteract violence, division, war, poverty and promote unity among people and among nations.

Peace Pays!

Introduction - Delivering Hope - The Narrative

Scary prospects

All media sources in Canada deliver a daily bombardment of one message to our children. They say, “You are doomed and there is no way for you to escape the consequences of growing militarism worldwide and an environmental crisis that has permanently affected the weather systems and conditions of the entire Earth. These things are coming to get you and you cannot escape.”

Television, radio, Internet, all news sources, songs, poetry, essays, books, movies, documentaries, newspapers, magazines – they all agree that there is no hope and no escape from the impending Doom they describe.

Summary – the dominant narrative in the data flow is “there is no hope” 


Educators in our schools tell the same grim story while requiring our children to be calm and responsible and quiet. But these are remarkable children and they believe correctly that they can help develop and implement solutions that can stave off this doomsday Vision.

These young people generally have little knowledge of history and therefore cannot know that humanity has tottered on the brink of self destruction numerous times. At those times people of ability and goodwill have appeared to help sort out the crises. All they hear is that there is no real hope.

Young people have a facility with new technologies that their parents can never achieve and these technologies are essential for the transition to a new futuristic human culture that implements “Sustainability in all things.” We need to implement new media and Internet technologies and let our children teach us how to use them effectively.

Media pundits do not do the Math and conclude that this is the case – that we are DOOMED! But fortunately we have forced our children to attend schools where they are required to learn to read and listen and calculate with Maths and Sciences.

They do the Math and realize that they are in deep trouble and their powers of Reason tell them that that no grownups seem to be doing anything seriously effective to address this Global Crisis. They see that this Crisis is unprecedented and of historic proportions.

They take in the daily dominant social narrative and they are in despair for the grown-up population seems to see no real need to envision a hopeful and lasting future. The grown-ups only seek to further compromise the environment and intensify their economic dependence upon militarism.

There is no hope in any of this for a generation of young people. I offer something different and something realistic and achievable. I offer to empower young people so they can have a hand in finding and implementing solutions.

Little children understand ALL of this. But our governments do not yet grasp the magnitude of the challenge and the injustice being perpetrated against children in the midst of all of this. Neither does our Prime Minister understand the nature of the challenge and so he ignores the need for urgent solutions.

Children are stripped of their human and civil rights in Canada and have no real humanity under law. This is causing widespread social problems which are being blamed on young people and addressed with punishment and further abuse.

At the same time someone has observed that, “This is the first generation in human history when parents must turn to their children in order to learn the skills necessary for survival.”

Teachers and schools must also seek instruction from and involvement of these children in retooling our schools to meet the needs of the 21st Century.

Summary – children have the abilities needed to deal with these challenges in their early adaptation to digital technologies

Modern and relevant public education is critical for our survival and success. The revolution in public education is already underway and our systems will soon be fitted to serve our needs. This is already happening along with many other components of this Plan which have been launched in the course of the last five or six years. This is further cause for us to be hopeful.

My own perspective is different from the one we get from the Data Flow. I believe that there is a way through this Crisis and through the fire to a place of peace and hope and health and survival and success for Canada and Canadians of all ages.

It is this perspective that I want to share and enlarge upon for Canadians and I want to be a part of the team that oversees the introduction of the solutions we need...and we need them promptly as the Crisis grows when it is not shrinking.

I know that we can help shape the world into a place that is sustainable and that we can turn back some of the critical damage that has been done to the Earth's Eco-system. We can also sow seeds of peace like no other nation ever has. We invented international peace keeping and are known for our peaceful society and culture.

I can see a safe way forward to a hopeful future and I want to share that vision with all Canadians and help implement it in all sectors of our nation and society. In fact I have been sharing this national vision with thousands of Canadians for over five years now and more embrace it every day.

Summary - There is a safe way through this Crisis

The Vision has already begun to take form and substance and is gaining in momentum as people feel the hope that it delivers. This Hope changes their life and their perspective and provides inspiration and direction and clarity for many.

Once people see what I'm getting at then their own creative imagination begins to act and make pieces of the new world we must build – The Canadian Dream. Some of those people have urged me to write this book so we can share this Hope with all Canadians.

I know that we can use our democratic methods, values, institutions and processes to meet and serve the needs of Canadians first - and then all of humanity as we reach out with the tools needed to resuscitate the human family and renew our civilization. In this way there can be a renewed hope for the People and meaningful goals that carry us two hundred years into the future.

So I want to share my story with you and my perspective so you can also have Hope and share it with your family, friends, neighbours, communities, governments, people of other nations and those who struggle in our midst here in Canada.

My plan and purpose is to deliver Hope to all Canadians and then to persuade them to share that hope effectively with all people everywhere as quickly and efficiently as we are able.

This seems to be the only way we can survive and succeed – by regarding all people as our family and fellow citizens and by persuading them to adopt the methods we have tested and found effective in Canada – Canadian Culture.

Summary - Justice with Compassion will help us to survive and succeed in the 21st Century.

Core Principles in the Wealthy Society

If we hope to strengthen Canada and provide leadership to help the world evolve in the 21st Century then Canada and Canadians will have to make some practical adjustments to our collective lifestyle.

I believe that there are a few Core Principles that we must embrace if we hope to Survive and Succeed in the coming hundred years.

1 - The First Principle is - Sustainability in all things.

We need to make all of our decisions and actions Sustainable in the larger sense of contributing to the ongoing life of humanity on Planet Earth and the restoration of the Earth's eco-system.

To conserve and be economical on a micro level is by far the best in policy and action. My Dad said, "If you look after your pennies then your dollars will look after themselves." Small acts of environmentalism add up quickly.

We need new mechanisms that permit us to achieve this easily, quickly and inexpensively. Wealth will come as a by-product of responsible action - with good and meritorious associations attached - Environmental Virtue.

This is actually a simple problem. If we destroy and use up everything then there will be nothing left.

2 - The Second Principle is - Success with Less.

We have to learn to do far more with far less. Many already do it and it's easy to learn. Once learned it eases the pangs of conscience that accompany waste and haste to destroy in the modern economy of disrespect for the Earth and People.

3 - The Third Principle is - Justice with Compassion.

We badly need to act Justly towards others and in keeping with our own national and personal Core Values as Canadians - Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Equality under Law, Open Democratic Society.

Our national character also requires that we be compassionate - Justice WITH Compassion.

In the Wealthy Society of the 21st Century Canada will flourish and lead if we embrace these simple Principles for responsible global citizenship.

All Canadians can help with this new challenge that confronts us as a nation - one act of peaceful generosity @ a time. Together we CAN overcome The Crisis.

Canada first. Then the world.

"Don't keep the peace...pass it on."
