I think that the reason that it was taken out was that it looks more like boasting than a sober list of Canadian achievements. Thus it breaks our NPOV policy.  If I were you I would try to rewrite it in such a way that it doesn't sound quite so much like an advert. That way people are less likely to object to it. -- Derek Ross |  Talk 05:23, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia Eyal, your contributions are very much valued.  I do, however, have a number of objections to this section:
*All Wikipedia country articles follow a set format, and no other country has a contributions section. 
*It is almost impossiblefor such a list to be neutral. For instance the British liked our help in the Boer War, most of the rest of the world didn't. 
*Similarly statements such as us being a "peaceful multicultural nation, with less racial tension than many other places" needs some supporting evidence, otherwise it is just opinion.
*This information is already gathered in more complete form elsewhere, e.g. List_of_Canadians#Inventors.

:: I've removed the addition of "Innovations" and "Being a Living Example for", aside from being heavily biased, most of the information is incorrect or missing (i.e. a very vague statement about "a founder of eBay"?). Also, what makes an 'innovation' Canadian? For example, Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland and most of his work was done in the US.

It isn't clear to me why lost exports constitute a 'cost'. A much more important determinant of welfare for a country is surely its imports, which are the source from which consumers derive utilty. If reduced exports mean reduced income and thus reduced consumer spending including imports, I can see that this is a welfare cost, but exports themselves are not a benefit to a country. The reduced exports from the developing to developed worlds should count as a cost to the developed world.
