The Peace-based Economy

An excerpt from "The Future: Peace Pays Exploring The Canadian Identity".

Peace is not sign of weakness, just as violence is not a sign of strength. Peace
requires strength, self-restraint, discipline, and a pursuit of genuine self-interest.
Canada has successfully achieved a peaceful, free and Just Society where
Compassion is a governing principle.

A simple decision to strategically and intentionally move towards a Peace-based
Economy would be a strong statement to the world and an assertion of our Core
Values. The energetic pursuit of a select group of economic bases could bring
rapid economic growth while providing the means for sharing our Methods,
Values and Culture through the mechanisms of a new futuristic economy that
excludes the need for bloodshed from the pursuit of large-scale economic gain.
We can prove that Peace Pays more than war.

Canada is a world leader in a number of critical areas: education; alternative
energy technologies and research; environmental and ecological solutions;
scientific research and applications that are peaceful; diplomacy and
jurisprudence; legislative responsibility; high-tech communications and media;
policing and law enforcement; the Arts and entertainment; agriculture;
management and administration; Human Relations. Policies could be easily
introduced that are Global in magnitude that support and reward the
development and worldwide distribution of these things that characterize us as a
People and unify us as a Nation.
