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 we must put our country first and not be pushed into supporting policies that may not be of our best interest

joe biden would forget canadas presence so we would just be losing by trying to keep a presense in america
@9LV366XConservative12mos12MO
Reconfiguring to comply with the needs of democratic countries and leave if participation is contrary to Canadian sovereignty and interests.

China is taking over the world. What is the UN doing about it? They don't respect any carbon emission rules and even most basic human rights are often violated in China.
@8QCHD32Conservative4yrs4Y
The U.N is a joke at this point but to keep up appearances and to reap the benefits sure.

Unless The UN Removes China From The Security Council & Gives Canada A Permanent Security Council Seat, Im In Favour Of Renouncing The Renewal Of Canada’s Membership From The United Nations; When A Ship Starts To Sink, Its Best To Abandon Ship
@8HXMMJNConservative4yrs4Y
yes, and remove the U.N from the U.S.A
@8TY7ML2Conservative4yrs4Y
Stay there to have a voice, but start fighting back against their insane tyrannical views.
@8SYBK3TConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but the UN is kind of a useless organization that doesn't do much in certain countries during a crisis
@9BKSCBLConservative2yrs2Y
Debatable considering the questionable importance of said organization. But for now, I think we should stay.
No. The UN is a corrupt, obsolete laughingstock.
@8ZX3GXZConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but should pressure for UN reform and a permanent security council seat for Canada
@EthanHars4yrs4Y
Yes, use it to punish China and Russia
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
No, the UN has become very corrupt and has been taken over by the Communists
@8SSTKGQ4yrs4Y
don't leave and reduce spending on it
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, as China is gaining influence onto the world via the UN. We should them accountable for their crimes against humanity in international court, and help reform China into a country like our own. Only then can we rejoin the UN.
@kaparker4yrs4Y
Yes, but reduce U.N. reliance on the United States
@8JB5F4Z4yrs4Y
What is the point of it if we all break it anyways?
