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.

Yes, but push for how the UN is run.
@8SD6CQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but I also think that we need to improve our peacekeeping/peacekeepers and stay less involved in conflict.
Yes, and we should try to remove the U.S. from the U.N. as they have become a corruption and hatred filled country that no longer aligns itself with U.N. ideals.
