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

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

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.
