Question

Canada is today a wealthy, stable, pluralist and democratic country, but things were not always so. A century or two ago, Canadians were a lot poorer and lived much shorter lives than they do today; our government was a lot less democratic, and the threat of political violence was common. Our social and political values were very different back then, and governments often imposed the religious beliefs and practices of the dominant groups on other members of society. Yet Canada evolved, some would say developed, into the country we know today. That process of social, economic and political change was not smooth or linear. It was highly disruptive, often contested and sometimes violent. Along the way, there were winners and losers.

If Canada can rise from being a marginal collection of colonies on the fringes of two empires, a place torn by social, religious, political and ethnic tensions, a country whose relations with its neighbour were for decades tense and even violent, to being a stable, prosperous and democratic country living in peace with its neighbour, can other countries not do the same?

Thus in order to live with peace there is need to adopt the ideology of peace and global harmony, every country should respect each others and should follow the five principles of peaceful coexistence:-
