Canada's Foreign Policy

Canada needs to review and renew our foreign policy in how we interact with other nations around the world.  Are we becoming too involved in foreign conflicts?  Are we investing too many dollars in the form of assistance to countries struck by some kind of disaster?  Are we too linked to the foreign policies of the United States.  Ask your MP how many millions we spend each year outside Canada in conflicts like Afghanistan?  Ask your MP how many millions we spend each year outside Canada to assist some nation struck by a natural disaster or a disaster of their own making like Chernobyl?

The US tends to be too involved in the affairs of other nations.  They are too quick to enter into conflicts abroad and too generous in assisting other nations.  The US needs to look after domestic policies and their own economic crisis.  Canada should do the same!
