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 until we create a new united western organization that is in line with only democratic nations. Adversaries shouldn’t be able to use our institutions against us.
@9LVZMSH7mos7MO
The united nations would be pointless is my perfect world. I don't like countries and I don't like borders.
@9LV366XConservative7mos7MO
Reconfiguring to comply with the needs of democratic countries and leave if participation is contrary to Canadian sovereignty and interests.
@9K6M4549mos9MO
No, completely remove every existance of trace and take off our money from the world banks from there, they only serve issues and troubles, also, take us down from NATO and china immediately.
@9JLF2GL10mos10MO
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.

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.
@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.
@9TYZTWF2mos2MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
In a world where countries have unequal power, how can we make sure smaller nations get a fair say in global decisions?
@9TM3BMB2mos2MO
they should be protect so their not scared to speak out.
@9T6GQ6F2mos2MO
The U.N. is, as Lenin termed it, a "thieves' kitchen" for the world's oppressors to negotiate the carving up of oppression against workers. Instead, Canada, once liberated by workers under the guidance of the workers' equivalent, the Fourth International, should assist workers everywhere in taking power
Yes, but we must put our country first and not be pushed into supporting policies that may not be of our best interest
@9HDTNDDConservative12mos12MO
joe biden would forget canadas presence so we would just be losing by trying to keep a presense in america

The U.N. Is a usless organization of people who are so disconnected from the reality of the real world. That over the years have seen to prolonging wars, and genocide and famine. Without ever raising a finger to help. What makes it worse when they do sent aid it usually aids the persecutors and not the victims.

Yes however, we should maintain a stronger presence at the U.N in order to further democracy and first-world human rights.
@8VGJ6463yrs3Y

@8S73DY84yrs4Y

@8QQKGSF4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should maintain our independence as a souvenir nation and not beholden to UN majority policy decisions.

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
@8QGZHF24yrs4Y
Yes, and scale up our involvement. We aren't doing enough internationally.

The U.N is a joke at this point but to keep up appearances and to reap the benefits sure.
