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.
@9JVVX2BConservative 3mos3MO
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
@9JW2Y47New Democratic3mos3MO
Having our own senior citizens struggle on a fixed budget while sending Tens of millions to other countries seems unfair.
@9JVVX2BConservative 3mos3MO
I think its important that a country prioritizes its own citizen's wellbeing over a global cooperation because it needs its own specific needs met such as food, clothes, basic necessities to survive, peace.
@9L2SXDR1mo1MO
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.
@9L3XB2S1mo1MO
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.
@LeftAnglicanNew Democratic 3mos3MO
it is important, but if they prioritize their own national interests over what's better for the international community, then that is a different story. Countries should not devolve into isolationism and irredentism.
@9JXCVF43mos3MO
everyone should be treated fairly unless they have committed a crime or have done something very bad.
@9KCLS45Conservative2mos2MO
I think no country is better than every other country.
@9KJB7PS2mos2MO
A country should be a system of values that makes society flourish. To say all systems of values are equal is stupid.
@9JYMWCLNew Democratic2mos2MO
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 Democratic2mos2MO
Well, considering the current global issue, the invasion and genocide of the Palestinian peoples by the Israeli settlers, countries should be focusing more on supporting the side thats being slaughtered INCLUDING their own citizens, instead of funding the genocide and not doing anything to go against it. and also racism
@9KW35VL2mos2MO
Yes it is important because people need rules in order to behave in an orderly fashion.
@9KK9CXR2mos2MO
there are many scenarios to compare this to. If a country's well being is dependent on destroying another country, it is truly invalid to do so.
@9KTHWM22mos2MO
Some people who have been in Canada thier whole life's don't have the supports they need and they don't get it but some people who just move here get everything supported for them.
@9KZ3FS91mo1MO
Ukranian refugees have had it really nice compared to a lot of my friends who’ve struggled a lot growing up, I don’t know maybe it’s isolated to where I am.
@9KLW5CW2mos2MO
I think countries should work to as much globally unity as possible. There is no reason to privatize your land because of borders from hundreds of years ago.
@9KPZJ382mos2MO
I think that it is important to prioritize citizen wellbeing because individuals wellbeing is more important that global problems.
@9L9H3S34wks4W
As much as I think Canada should help other countries, our count try is falling apart right now with homelessness, no jobs, a poor economy, no housing, expensive groceries, and more. Until we focus on what’s going on here, it will keep getting worse
@9L68F4Q 1mo1MO
I think it's important for a country to prioritize its citizens' protection and well being over global cooperation because each country's people have their own needs to protect against things like war, hunger, poverty, and things of this nature.
@9L4KNPPConservative1mo1MO
yes because the citizens are the main thing in a country
@9L56C5M1mo1MO
Yes, This is very important and should always happen as it is their own home and country.
@9L44YYD1mo1MO
Yes, it is. If you can't look after your own, how can you justify looking after others?
Yes, at the end of the day we must always prioritize the issues affecting our own nation first.
@9L2RMFG1mo1MO
Yes agreed. It’s one thing to make sure your country is seen in the country as good with other places globally but first and foremost your people should be happy.
I believe that our own citizens' well-being is very important. I go by a rule, that if you want to help someone, you should. But you must care for yourself first, since if you aren't cared for, then it's very difficult to care for others.
@9KZM97SConservative1mo1MO
Yes it is important that a country prioritizes the citizens first. The federal government works to serve the country and its people first and global issues next.
@9KZKC3X1mo1MO
Its important to prioritize people because they are more important than the government system.
@9KZK4KPNew Democratic1mo1MO
I believe it is important for a country to prioritize its own citizens over any one else because they are the ones living their
@9KYLMZW1mo1MO
Yes because global cooperations creates dependency on foreign entities and in the long term possesses existential risk
@9KYHDY3Conservative 1mo1MO
Yes, it is important because how are you going to prioritize something else when you leave your citizens.. the citizens should be well taken care of before tackling other issues!
@9KY7TFT1mo1MO
I think that a country's main priority is its own people so yes a nation should always put its own people first but then again considering how it would affect other nations can be the second priority.
@9H5ZSG3Conservative5mos5MO
In the contemporary world, nationalism continues to be a potent political force. It can be seen in movements for independence, in resistance to immigration, and in the politics of identity. However, it is also often criticized for its potential to exclude and marginalize those who do not fit the national norm, and for its potential to lead to conflict and war. Despite these criticisms, nationalism remains a significant aspect of political life in many parts of the world.
Yes because the citizens are a big part of the community, and they make a difference
@9L56Z8K1mo1MO
The country should be loyal to it's citizens the most.
@9L4VS6S1mo1MO
I think it's important because of a country that is responsible for its own citizens and can think about other communities and global cooperation when it has enough resources for its own citizens.
@9L4R8L81mo1MO
I think it is important for countries to prioritize its citizens so that the citizens can feel safe and secure knowing that they come first to their country.
@9L4N5TC1mo1MO
I think it is important to prioritize its own citizens
@9L4JLDTNew Democratic1mo1MO
I think that global cooperation is essential and a country should prioritize their citizens, there should be a balance between the two, that ever so slightly leans toward the well being of their citizens
@9L3YD981mo1MO
It is important to prioritize its own citizens because healthy and happy citizens make a country great and relevant on the world stage.
@9KZJYJN1mo1MO
Yes because we should focus on ourselves then other countries
@9J9PHBQ3mos3MO
It is important for a nation to prioritize its citizens but to an extent.
@9H6DWPW5mos5MO
Both should be equally looked over but the citizens well being should be prioritized most of the time because global issues can’t be solved if the citizens are also being affected.
@9L8WLPD4wks4W
yes as long as there is no external threat to the country, in which case global cooperation would be prioritized
@9L6ZJPW1mo1MO
I believe countries should prioritize their own citizens' well being over global cooperation since if the country itself isnt unified then global cooperation would not be as viable.
@9KZWTHZ1mo1MO
i think that there number one should be their own country because idhere working on their own country it should help the rest of the world in the prosess.
