Canada was created through discussion, negotiation, and compromise. These characteristics are as important today as in the past. Canadians let people live as they wish, as long as they do not limit how others live. Canadians work hard to nourish a peaceful society in which respect for cultural differences, equality, liberty and freedom of expression is fundamental value.Canadians want fairness and justice for themselves, their children, and their families. And most are fair and just to others, no matter who they are, or where they come from. They understand the value of cooperation. In a country as large and diverse as Canada people must be able to learn to resolve or ignore small conflicts in order to live happily and peacefully.
Women, men, children and seniors are all equally respected in Canada. Canadians may be different from each other but it is these shared values that make Canada a friendly, caring, peace-loving in which to live.
Canada is diverse in its people, its landscape, its climate, and its way of life. However Canadians do share the same important values. These values guide and influence much of our everyday life. .
