Should Canada maintain a presence at the United Nations?
The UN. is an organization of governments founded in 1945 after World War II. The organization’s objectives include promoting peace and security, protecting human rights and the environment and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. Recent U.N. interventions include the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009 and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Canada joined the U.N. in 1948 as a founding member nation. Canada is the eighth largest financial contributor to the UN and contributes $81 million annually.

Canada should stay involved, but hold the UN accountable
@8QGZHF24yrs4Y
Yes, and scale up our involvement. We aren't doing enough internationally.
@8PK9ZJK4yrs4Y
The UN is flawed and only benefits rich countries. It should be abolished.
@8PK9XK44yrs4Y
The UN is not helpful, instead time/efforts should be directed at helping people directly
@8L3S5RW4yrs4Y
Yes, but the United Nations should be re-worked from the ground up.
@8RSWJHJ4yrs4Y
Yes, and use our presence to push for peace and cooperation amongst major world powers and encourage disarmament.
@8SYTJJS4yrs4Y
The Un security council should be abolished because Canadian involvement will not matter until the veto initiative is gone
@8SYMTCM4yrs4Y
Yes but only in the hopes of stopping the US from damaging the world too much
@8DVHZN55yrs5Y
Why contribute to global security thats being escalated by social media when our forces and personal are better served and useful at home...its a no btw
@8ZPHR883yrs3Y
No, the UN is just an institution designed to spread capitalist propaganda and destabilize regions that disagree with former imperial powers.
