Pillar #4 ?

Canada is in a blessed position where our country is so large and varied with such a small population that we could truly set an example of sustainable development for the world to marvel at. But this would be domestic policy rather than foreign policy. Unfortunately, most other countries are populated with humans tripping over each other everywhere you turn. Although I would favour such a 4th pillar, it would be challenging for a country whose people are priveleged and have so much open space to be able to credibly relate sustainable development to countries where their people have so litte space.
