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 work towards reforming it
Yes however, we should maintain a stronger presence at the U.N in order to further democracy and first-world human rights.
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.

This means nothing to me.
I don’t understand the question
Yes, Canada has a long history of being a founding member of the UN, and being an advocate for the goals in which the UN strives for.
@8SYFJW24yrs4Y
Yes, but we should be content with our position as just a member of the greater group--we are a soft power and need not 'reach for the top' of the elite UN break out groups
@95DH7PG3yrs3Y
Yes, we were one of the first signatories to the creation of the United Nations, and we should continue our presence engaging with other nations in global solutions.
Yes, but attempt to introduce a reform
