Should the U.S. remain in the United Nations?

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 advocate strongly for reform.

 @B96CS54from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, But only if we have Competent Non-Bias Leader as there is already enough GARBAGE in the U.N. already.

 @B89F54Qfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

Yes simply for diplomacy and leverage, but the U.N. does no real peacekeeping and have become a dysfunctional organization that does not protect the rights it was originally created for.

 @B5XSLWYfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Yes, but use that presence to encourage other members to improve their standing in regards to human rights violations, along with improving our own.

 @B4ND9T9from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

We should maintain a presence at the UN only so that Canada is represented. The mandate and benefit of the United Nations has changed drastically and is now in the control of the uber-rich.

 @B3VW758from Manitoba  answered…1yr1Y

Canada should withdraw from the United Nations as it is just an even more useless version of the League of Nations.

 @8PMYGDNfrom Ontario  answered…6yrs6Y

The UN is a scam

 @9TYZTWFfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

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.
