I would say, first of all, that Canada should not think that it's imposing values on other people. People around the world have demonstrated with their lives on the line that they love these values.
The only people who are basically saying not to impose these values are generally the people who are the authoritarian governments, the leaders who say we must not do that.
I think it has to do with how we think about these issues. I think you want to think about them as Canada standing in solidarity.
What would Canada do if you were standing on the democratic front line with these people, facing some very seriously militarized police and army these days that had come to crush them? What would Canada do?
I think the answer would come very easily to anyone.
Canada, like Germany and France, sometimes thinks of itself as a middle power, but that's not when it comes to economics and what it stands for. It has a lot of potential, especially in U.S.-China conversations, where I think Canada is not considered as necessarily.... It becomes a little bit more problematic these days, as the U.S. uses human rights as tool to compete with China, but I think Canada has a different profile.
