Bob Rae, seen here in Ottawa attending a news conference regarding his appointment on July 6, 2020, assumes his role as the next UN ambassador on Aug. 4.Bob Rae, who was named Canada’s next ambassador to the United Nations on Monday, says he rejects any notion that Canada’s international reputation was harmed by its failed bid for a Security Council seat.
However, critics argue the loss raises significant questions about the Liberal government’s foreign policy. June’s Security Council election marked the second time in a decade that Canada has lost its run for a spot on the multilateral body. The former Conservative government withdrew Canada from the 2010 race after it became clear it would lose to Portugal.
Says the guy making gagging faces about Harper after a speech. Yep I trust his diplomacy and judgement
Is Rae speaking as a Liberal or an NDP today. Or is he toying with Green?
So Andy who hasn’t got the common sense to wear a mask in the airport could do any better. No.
It sure was a different tune when Harper didn't get a UN seat. The liberals were all over that, but hypocrisy thy name is liberal.
Trudeau received less votes than Harper IN THE FIRST ROUND. We do not have a good reputation...come on.
He looks as crazy as The Potato.
Bob Rae, Trudeau garbage man says...
Not harmed Hahahahahahahaha. Only in a Liberal mind.
What a tool. 🙄
No but our pocket books are!!
Bob is the perfect combination of failed politician and trudeau yes man. He'll say whatever blackface wants him to say.
Of course Canada's reputation wasn't harmed, after 5 years of skippy and his corrupt government there was no place to go but up
See BobRae48 you're as naive now as you were then. Trudeau has embarrassed Canada repeatedy on the world stage. Add you to the mix & we will thoroughly humiliated globally. Countries have already reacted to Trudea's farcical circus formerly called Canada.
H Y P O C R I T E
Who cares what happens at the corrupt UN?
Bob Rae apologizes for 'gagging' at Trudeau's praise of Harper
Well when you're rock bottom you can't harm it any more than it has been under trudeau. Canada is a joke on the world stage.
Ummm, yes it was, when you think about how hard Trudeau lobbied for it, and the amount of bribes that were taken that produced nothing. I'm sure sending this failure will improve it though, now where's that sarcasm emoji
If it wasn’t for that, it sure will be with your appointment! BobRae48 cdnpoli
The reputational damage was done before — that’s why Canada doesn’t sit in that symbolic UNSC seat. Justin Trudeau with his sock fascination and obsession to play Mr. Dressup, including the feature-length movie, Canadian Griswalds Go To India, is the reason.
What reputation
What else can see say.
No; not because of it, it was harmed well before when st. Trudeau tried to tell everyone how they should be running their countries
What reputation is that?
No, it's ” harmed by Trudeau and his band of corrupt handpicked incompetents...
Canada reminds me of going to grandpa and grandmas in the valley for family holidays. Stuck at the kids table because there aren’t enough seats at the grownup table yet to accommodate the minors.
Dear Bob Rae,
You can hear the collective exclamation of 'Bullshit Bob!' from coast to coast to coast.
But it sure as hell is having BobRae48 being named as an Ambassador to the UN ...
Not the same reaction he had 10 years ago.
Says the guy who frolicked naked in the lake with Rick Mercer.
Just like there was no harm to NDP’s reputation in Ontario after one term of bob rae, a “rae of sunshine”.
True.. just Trudeau who was so fixated. Small man ego got crushed. .eh !
Sigh. Canada failed in its bid for a place on the Security Council because of its reputation.
Canada’s reputation is harmed by Trudeau’s amateurish international dealings. There are billion people who remember his dancing moves in India, his vote-buying tour in Africa, Blackface to name a few. And Australia’s prime minister forcing Trudeau not to talk about his socks!
He is right, we have no reputation since justin took the office.
Seems an odd and very political statement to kick off a new term as our UN Ambassador. A thank you to the PM?
What a joke this clown and the UN are! I guess they’re made for each other.
True, Canada launched its Candidacy late, and inherited some harmful policies from the previous administration. Not elected, Canada can do better for issues like the reform of the Council. It has become an Emirative because of inaction of the Council in face of the pandemic.
is slavery Canada you not lives here to see day by days Canada slavery laws and labors
OMG! Bob Rae.. can Canada get any shittier
Canada’s reputation is harmed by idiots in power that are also crooks.
Canada's reputation is harmed by Justin Trudeau
Funny, in 2010 he called it a 'a major defeat for Canada and for our reputation around the world.' cdnpoli
liberal_party is fundamentally and deeply corrupt. It is a money laundering machine for all sorts of evil and immoral individuals and nations. And above all, BlackfaceTrudeau is corrupt.

Ventriloquist dummy claims free will compels dedication to apartheid.
He would say that. He probably thinks he was a great Premier of Ontario as well.
Of course he did!
Hes not dead yet?
And i guess Ontario’s best years were between 1990- 1995
Other Believable Things 1. Saddam Hussein was not harmed by the war in Iraq 2. Maple Leafs should have won at least 10 cups in past 53 yrs. 3. Drug use didn't hurt 60's rock stars. 4. The Week has 22 Minutes' shelf life is due to its stellar comedy not its political leanings.
Good grief...whatva truly dumb appointment.
What did you expect him to say? 🤦🏼♂️
Ok Bob
Socialist bob.... can’t wait what he’s going to do for all those foreigners with all our Canadian $$$
Maybe not...but with bobrae48 there our reputation is done.
globepolitics Of course he would say that, but honestly it speaks for itself.
Maybe but it sure cost a lot for zero return
