PLURALISM: THE WORLD WONDERS HOW WE PULLED IT OFF - 2004-02-06

His Highness the Aga Khan speaking at the Global Centre for Pluralism in Ottawa
Date: 
Friday, 2004, February 6
Location: 

the Aga Khan Foundation wants to make Canada the home of a $70-million institute that would export Canadian pluralist values and programs through academic and governmental exchanges. The foundation (and I should point out here that Globe publisher Phillip Crawley is a member of the national committee of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada) is prepared to put up $40-million if Ottawa will put up the rest, and if it is prepared to work closely with the foundation in co-ordinating programs.

The Aga Khan Foundation, which wants something like $30-million of federal money to help establish a global centre for pluralism in Ottawa, is very excited by what Paul Martin has been saying this week.Its excitement is premature: Word is that the Martin government is not close to approving such a project, although there is interest in it.
The foundation is tapping, perhaps overoptimistically, into a quickening current of thought coursing through foreign-policy discussions in the national capital.
