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.

joe biden would forget canadas presence so we would just be losing by trying to keep a presense in america
@9GH2KFF1yr1Y
No. The United Nations is weakening our Country and our presence has allowed the world to leech off of us and hinder our progress.
@9FMP9KR2yrs2Y
@9FHB5XK2yrs2Y
Trudeau has made this more of a problem then it already was
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Canada should be involved in the UN, their peace keeping efforts help all of humanity.
@9NBPKFX11mos11MO
@8PJLV9V4yrs4Y
No they are corrupt and have too much influence on domestic issues
@8ZNN2693yrs3Y
Yes but acknowledge The U.N. also has corrupt members within.
@8VXFCQL4yrs4Y
No the u.n has shown to only have the interest of major economic powers.and if Canada wishes to shed our legacy of imperialism we must abandon imperialist organizations
@8VS2P6X4yrs4Y
Yes, but work towards reforming it
@8VRFV4H4yrs4Y
Yes, but push for reform of the UN
@8VPSX284yrs4Y
I am neutral and have no opinion
No but keep a connection
Yes however, we should maintain a stronger presence at the U.N in order to further democracy and first-world human rights.
@8VGJ6464yrs4Y
The idea of the U.N is great, and cooperation between nations is vital, but the U.N is corrupt and does not work
@8VG3M5W4yrs4Y
Yes, but I don't think we need their permission to do things now.
@8TQ845B4yrs4Y
The whole UN should be dissolved as it undermines a nation’s sovereignty
@8SDCDGV4yrs4Y
It really doesn’t matter to me, either way I’ll be fine with
@8SD6CQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but I also think that we need to improve our peacekeeping/peacekeepers and stay less involved in conflict.
@8RWBJNQ4yrs4Y
Keep a presence, but dont respect them.
@8RR3K4K4yrs4Y
Canada needs to step it up and fund our military so its not a joke to the rest of the world
@8RCFD7K4yrs4Y
No, Canada needs to become more independent compared to the U.S.
@8QT23VQ4yrs4Y
I am confused on this one
@8QQKGSF4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should maintain our independence as a souvenir nation and not beholden to UN majority policy decisions.
@8QMYYKS4yrs4Y
No. The UN is weak. It will never allow Canada its true glory and power. It will also never allow Canadians to make laws so that we're equal
@8PKG2XW4yrs4Y
No, and keep those corrupt people out of my country
@8MT7NH5Libertarian4yrs4Y
No, the UN does virtually nothing for canada or the world.
@8KLMHXH4yrs4Y
This means nothing to me.
@8HWQNFJ4yrs4Y
we wanna start world war .50 cent
@8DDZ8JZ5yrs5Y
I don’t understand the question
@8CY8CX75yrs5Y
@8CS7JYB5yrs5Y
Yes Canada should maintain a presence at the United Nations, and demonstrate how current Canadian policies align with current U.N. policies, agendas and programs, and demonstrate how they are executed in the Canadian context and upheld. Relocating the U.N head quarters every two to five years would allow for other countries to host and display their uniqueness.
@8C4S2BF5yrs5Y
No, do more of our foreign policy on a country by country case by case basis.
@98WRWQB2yrs2Y
UN is corrupt and Canadians need to be more involved to remove the corruption
@8VGSTXS4yrs4Y
Yes, and push for more aggressive global climate mandates
@8TFCNHJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but STRONGLY push Canada's role in the U.N. in order to avoid becoming in the sphere of the United States.
No, it's wasting our money
@8SYTJJS4yrs4Y
The Un security council should be abolished because Canadian involvement will not matter until the veto initiative is gone
@8SYBK3TConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but the UN is kind of a useless organization that doesn't do much in certain countries during a crisis
@9KLW5CW1yr1Y
I support the idea of the UN, and want Canada to be active in it, but the UN is cowardly and spineless and will not represent the peoples interests.
