Should the U.S. remain in the United Nations?

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.

No but keep a connection

 @8VLT5P5Communistfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

sure what ever

 @8RDRC96from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Canada should stay involved, but hold the UN accountable

 @8PK9ZJKfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

The UN is flawed and only benefits rich countries. It should be abolished.

 @8L3S5RWfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but the United Nations should be re-worked from the ground up.

 @8RSWJHJfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and use our presence to push for peace and cooperation amongst major world powers and encourage disarmament.

 @8SYTJJSfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

The Un security council should be abolished because Canadian involvement will not matter until the veto initiative is gone

 @92SKVGV from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and follow the global community rather than dictate it

 @Frugajn from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, it's an important step for a united world.

 @8ZPHR88 from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

No, the UN is just an institution designed to spread capitalist propaganda and destabilize regions that disagree with former imperial powers.

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
