Ottawa, ON – Canada's role in peacekeeping, peacemaking, human security and humanitarian aid, today and in the future was tackled from all sides at the first of a series of public policy debates held by Canada 2020.
Retired Canadian major-general Lewis MacKenzie, former commander of United Nations peacekeepers in Bosnia, CARE Canada CEO John Watson and Toronto Star national affairs columnist Jim Travers, tossed around one of this country's hottest foreign policy potatoes, debating the question, "Is peacekeeping dead? How can Canada renew its international role by 2020?"
Do you agree with MacKenzie and Watson that peacekeeping is dead?

The comment I wrote is:
Here is a letter that I sent to general Romeo D’Allaire, shortly before he became senator:
Greetings Mr. D’Allaire,
I am working to promote unity in and amongst Canadians, from a socio-cultural healing approach. The event I would like to promote starts with a 3 day symposium to include yourself, Bono of U2, David Suzuki, Roberta Jemison, Phil Fontaine, Bruce Cockburn, Patrick Watson and a series of personalities who represent justice and mental health in the heart and minds of the private and public in Canada.
The intent of the symposium is to lay the foundation for the development of the Faculty of Living. The citizenship of Canadians, our identity itself that is, needs a way to clearly define authority, obedience, discipline and mutuality, in the way that will cause a wake up call to all the Louis Riel and Romeo D’Allaire who don’t know how to get away from living under the rule of ignorance of their own as well as society’s.
Many are in jail or live sub-human conditions, in the underground cavities or recluded psychiatric cases. They did not make it out of the grip of stress and insanity the way you did. Praise God for your recovery. That recovery is at the heart of a sequence of cultural, social and political events which are converging to lay down the tracks of restorative justice and community mental health in the nation.
This will provide Canadians with a national opportunity to free ourselves from the agitations of the terror-anti-terror crisis. Part of that sequence calls for citizens to get positioned for the next federal election to go from competing to completing and from the never ending political power struggle to the voter’s power handle and straight for community self-governing.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lovingGod/files/ (file: New final crystals) I am sending you goes from 2 meditations that I use to help recovering people and it goes on to draw a picture of growing unity that comes together like a greening spring in April; and in the end, I address Mr. Bush on the terms of faith all the way. At worst, it should give you a smile.
The following address is a group I opened this week end on Yahoo. I posted some of my writings in there. If you enjoy the bit I am sending you, I’ll be honoured to welcome you at: unityincanadians-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Now please understand that I speak to you from a not so good reputation when it comes to social status.
After being rescued myself from the bottom of sanity after falling from playing with junior canadian at 17, I stayed where I could help people get off the street; people who find themselves in the spiralling desolation of their souls and minds for what ever reason. When I heard you on CBC last week, I thought it might be worth the long shot toward you, as you well know now from your own experience, of the invisible enemy upon humanity’s well being, Thank you sincerely for your time, and I hope to hear from you,
Benoit Couture
