Is it the duty of the government to preserve a nation's traditional values, or should that be left to individuals?

This should be left to individuals. The government should not be allowed to tell us what traditional values we feel we need to preserve.

It should be left to the individuals, because if the government chooses what values you have, they aren't actually your values, they are the governments

I believe that the government should preserve traditional values because it is important for people to know their history and to continue them so future persons can experience and study it too

The government should again be secular, but also it should work to protect national identity and culture, without pushing this to extreme right wing nationalism.

Yes, it is the government's duty to preserve a nation's traditional values.

I believe a government should be involved in their nations values and traditions but it should be mainly left up to the individuals. The citizens of that country.

Values change over time in accordance to the times. History shows that most values as a nation will change with economy and technology. Traditional values are only traditional if they serve a long standing purpose.

Traditions are for individuals and groups of individuals, like religion it should be separate from government.

Museums and Galleries should be federally subsidized and free, and mandated to preserve the nation's cultural history.

I think it's up to the people to protect their traditional views rather than the government as the government handles matters and laws that affect both liberal and conservative views and one side shouldn't get most of the attention.

A person who wants to keep up with a nation's traditional values should preserve the values themself.

to an extent, legislative ways yes but culturally no

When considering "Right-Wing Populism," the pivotal question arises: is it the government's responsibility to uphold a nation's traditional values, or should this role be left to individuals?

government should not interfere with any of our personal lives. Govern the country at a high level, the rest is up to us

I think when the government begins to present "traditional values", it nears on a state run society.

It should be left to individuals. There is a certain merit or level of preservation, again as long as it does not lead to discrimination of minorities then it’s partly fine. However, preservation of nations traditional values is alright but each individual has their own preferences and unique understanding or views. However, on a national, provincial and federal level we must follow charter of rights and freedoms also to ensure safety and respect for everyone’s choices in areas of education; health care and economy.

let people do what they want (not illegal) why are you so invested in peoples personal lives

I think it's a responsibility for the government to preserve a nation's traditional values

Leave it to individuals. Canadians are actually smart enough enough to make up their own minds believe it or not.

Should be left to individuals who take pride in those traditional values

I believe it is the duty of the government to uphold a nations traditions

I think that should be left to individuals but it also shouldn't be the responsibility of the government to push the opposite agenda.

I think it is everyone's responsibility at the end of the day. There is only so much us individuals can do and sometimes we will need our government to back us up and help us out with our traditions.

Governments should be responsible to preserve the nations traditional values but individuals also must uphold that

Both, better to everyone's particpation on supporting a tradition.

Shouldn't be everyone's duty to preserve a nation's traditional values regardless of political leaning?

I think it should be left to the individual as I think people should have the freedom to do what they want

I don't think it is anyones duty as times change so do traditions.

Left to individuals, governments can care for all they want but it's still just reactionary beliefs in the end, either way, it all depends or it just mixes.

I think the government must find a middle ground or community assimilation of new people to Canada. Just as they did to many of our families generations ago. It didn't result in the loss of our heritage but gave us the respect and wanting to be whatever someone describes as "Canadian".

Left to individuals to magange how they want to manage their nation

I believe that the government should in essence preserve the overall values that make up its constitution. However, there should be a certain balance as nations across the globe are becoming more opened and inclusive of different cultures and values that should also be respected.
