Canada in the World
Canada occupies a position of leadership among the open,advanced societies which are becoming increasingly influential as world power is dispersing and becoming more defined in economic terms. Canada's geographic location gives it important advantage as new poles of political and economic power emerge in the Pacific and Latin America. Canada's cultural heritage gives it privileged access to the anglophone and francophone worlds as well as to the homelands of Canadians drawn from every part of the globe who make up its multicultural personality. Canada's history as a non-colonizing power, champion of constructive multilateralism and effective international mediator, underpins an important and distinctive role among nations as they seek to build a new and better order.
