The real strengths of Canada are peace, order and (most of the time) good government.  To keep those strengths, we need to work hard to ensure that accountability and legitimacy of government and the rule of law are lasting.  This work must include both acceptance of the core values that underpin POGG by immigrants and those born here AND reasonable accommodation of difference.  The latter will always be a work in progress.  One of us is an immigrant, the other choose to return to Canada after several years as a "resident alien" in another country.  That is, we both chose Canada for its values, its openness and its opportunities.  Diversity and adaptability are good things but both can only flourish if POGG survives.
