Do you think it's important for a country to prioritize its own citizens' wellbeing over global cooperation, and why?

 @9JVVX2BConservative from Saskatchewan  answered…9mos9MO

I think it's important for a country to prioritize its own citizens' protection and well being over global cooperation because each country's people has its own needs to protect against things like war, hunger, poverty and things of this nature.

 @9JW2Y47New Democraticfrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

Having our own senior citizens struggle on a fixed budget while sending Tens of millions to other countries seems unfair.

 @9JVVX2BConservative from Saskatchewan  agreed…9mos9MO

 @9JVVX2BConservative from Saskatchewan  agreed…9mos9MO

It is important that a country look after its own citizens over a global cooperation because the citizens are the ones that require food, clothing, proper shelter, emergency items with no lights flares could be used for boating emergencies

We constantly hear politicians make a display about how we can't afford to fund economic programs. In what world can you justify denying supporting taxpayers, while simultaneously using their money to fund foreign aid? Completely insane!

 @9K2BPBCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  agreed…9mos9MO

 @9L2SXDRfrom Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

There needs to be a balance. Nationalism is a dangerously slippery slope, but we should definitely try as hard as we can to do right by our own citizens without dipping into nationalist territory.

 @9L3XB2Sfrom Nova Scotia  agreed…8mos8MO

Take care of your own nation's people first. Once the wellbeing of Canadians is achieved, then we can look to aid others. Prioritize Canadians.

Can you describe a moment when you felt particularly proud of a cultural aspect or tradition unique to your country?

 @9JS52XF from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

I respect and love the culture of the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I enjoy learning about the things they believe as it is highly engrossing. The culture the foreigners bring to Canada is something incredible as they bring parts of their home to a place lacking in any important culture.
