It is a tradition that rejects silence and passivity in the face of injustice, and attempts to be critical of methods of waging conflict used by oppressors and tyrants. In seeking to work out a path that honours both justice and peace, this is a vital tradition for humanity. It demands the best that we have to offer in our scholarship, our creativity and our conduct. And this is the province of heroes. But let us never aspire to be missionaries. We are challenged as well to be critical of this tradition, not blindly worshipful, so that we may strengthen it and bring it to a higher level of development. In Canada, peace work is what we do and what we do best. We can well afford to establish a Canadian University of Peace, and we have a responsibility to our youth to do so, so that they can stand on our shoulders now and in generations to come.
