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.

The UN must be transformed into another entity with Russia in the first place expelled. All other totalitarian states like China or Iran must be excluded, as well.
@9JLF2GL1yr1Y
the UN doesn't do anything it's just a check in on your neighbors and say hi party the UN should be stripped of all of its power and remain a neutral ground for nations to communicate in.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Canada was one of the founding members of the UN, and we need to keep being there and have our influence to advance important causes throughout the world.
@9LV366XConservative12mos12MO
Reconfiguring to comply with the needs of democratic countries and leave if participation is contrary to Canadian sovereignty and interests.
@8DT8JKK5yrs5Y
Yes, but the U.N. should be reformed to be more democratic and to not favor the wealthiest and richest countries.
United Nations has to be dissolved
@8VRXLKWRhinoceros4yrs4Y
No, and dismantle the UN. It's a corrupt organization run by 5 countries for their own benefit.
@8VR2LSS4yrs4Y
Yes, but the U.N must be thoroughly reformed
@angiepin4yrs4Y
No, the UN Security Council is ineffective and discriminatory
@8RCMXHK4yrs4Y
yes but it should also change a bit so its fair for others
@8NW3K9HConservative4yrs4Y
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
@8KLY3PN4yrs4Y
I believe that it is important to represent our country and support other countries (not just with money) to better the world, its economy, and the life of the people.
@8JYJ92R4yrs4Y
i really dont give a damn
@8HKKGY24yrs4Y
I believe we should opt-out of the UN entirely
@8D496695yrs5Y
The U.N has proven time and time again that it needs immediate reformation. Both Canada (meaning Canadian officials) and the U.N are more interested in their own affairs rather than the people.
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.
@8VJH7P54yrs4Y
The UN no longer seems to do the job it used to. We are not using the it as a Peace Keeping Force and it seems fraught with an identity crisis.
@8TTSQ954yrs4Y
Yes for all of the above
@9368W6D3yrs3Y
Yes, and relocate the UN headquarters from the US
@8V8L4X34yrs4Y
NO, and stop following any UN recommendations. Support our NATO allies.
@8TMKPJQ4yrs4Y
Yes for the moment but the UN is a failure.
@8PTS7VQ4yrs4Y
The U.N. became an organization with agendas that not for the people, but for controlling, slaving humanity. The U.N. created by Global elites for Global elites. We need a new world organization
without corruption. My answer is NO.
@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.
