DEFINING CANADA
If we were to define Canada, what and how would we see ourselves?
In the old sense we were and perhaps are still a "Confederation" of Provinces and Territories united by a overriding National Federation and Government. Is this still true though?
Perhaps in the new "environmental sense" and reality, to be "environmentally correct", we have to redefine and redevelop ourselves. Would it then not be more true to see ourselves as perhaps a "Confederation of Ecozones", united perhaps still by a National Federation and Government but then this itself in a Global Environment, Community and Reality.
Perhaps then as local stewards of our local ecozone then we are presenting a truer picture of ourselves and our local environment and its needs and benefits, in the context of the Environment of the Earth as a whole.
Thus then the United Nations itself would or could be seen better as the United Ecozones.
We after all have an obligation and dependency not only to the peoples of the world but to our local and global ecozones and yes fresh water, which are essential to our very existence, who without which humans would simply be a moot and passing point.
Something to ponder perhaps which might serve to help us garner our current reality.
Alfred G. Jonas
