Well, if Oliver Johnston was prime minister, he says he would create a business climate to help innovation and entrepreneurship thrive. The 22-year-old Oakville student believes secure and successful countries in the political climate of the new millennium will depend more on economic strength and technological innovation than on tradi tional military power. That's the thesis of Johnston's 2,500-word essay, selected as one of 50 semi-finalists in Magna International's 2002 As Prime Minister Awards. University and college students from across the country were challenged to answer the question, "I f you were Prime Minister o f Canada, what political vision would you offer to improve our living stan dards and ensure a secure and prosperous global community?" As a semi-finalist, Johnston has earned himself $500 and the right to travel to Toronto on Aug. 7 to present his paper to a panel of judges. The panel will choose 11 finalists, who will each win $10,000 and be offered a four-month internship position with Magna International Inc. A national winner, chosen from the finalists and announced later this fall, will receive an additional $10,000 and the offer of a one-year internship with Magna International, Canada's largest supplier of automotive systems and components. Johnston, a graduate of Appleby College, says the prize money inspired him to enter the contest. "I'm going off to graduate school in September and I'm going to need some extra money, so I took a shot at it," he said. He had entered the contest two years ago, but hadn't been selected as a winner. Johnston will be doing a Masters degree in glob al finance at Carleton University this fall. He recent ly graduated from Dalhousie University with a bach elor's degree in political science and economic stud ies. While at university, he served as president of the school's Model NATO Society and vice-president of the Dalhousie Political Science Association. As for the future, Johnston says politics are a pos sibility, but not his main goal. He is particularly interested in international bank ing and policy analysis, and hopes to eventually work in a corporate setting. "I've really taken a great interest in the idea of innovation and the importance of innovation," he says, of his essay. "We can't hope to be as powerful militarily as someone like the United States, but there are other ways of projecting our values." Simply attending the Toronto awards ceremony and mingling with the other 50 essayists should be fascinating, says Johnston. "I know I'm up against some really intelligent people from across the country, so I'm really inter ested in meeting them." The As Prime Minister Awards are organized annually by the Magna for Canada Scholarship Fund.
