Canada and Security Initiatives

: First, we need to be effective in keeping Canadians safe, according to Huffington Post Canada. And simultaneously, we need to safeguard Canadian values, our rights and freedoms, and the open, generous, inclusive character of our country -- in short, the very qualities that make Canada, Canada. Two critical imperatives, which must be accomplished in lock-step together, are woven through all of our security initiatives. We cannot enjoy our individual rights and freedoms without effective collective security, but we must achieve that collective security in ways that do not impair the very essence of that which we seek to protect. The Aga Khan has described Canada as the finest expression of pluralism the world has ever known. Built by diversity and stronger because of it, Canada is fundamentally a safe and peaceful nation.
