Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and International Development Minister Karina Gould confirmed the continuing campaigning in separate interviews with The Canadian Press this past week.
"The UN Security Council is the body that determines how the world reacts to issues of global security and instability," said Gould, adding that it has never been more important to have a "rational voice" on the 10 rotating, non-permanent members of the council. Canada's international credibility has also risen in recent months because of the role it has taken in leading the quest to get answers from Iran about its January downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane, as well its recent completion of a new North American trade deal, said Colin Robertson, a seasoned ex-diplomat.
"Although Canada may consider that trivial, it registers deeply with the international peacekeeping community around the world, countries whose vote Canada would want," said Lewis.
What a friggin joke...people are dying and front line worker's do not have enough PPE for Dr's , nurses in both hospitals and nursing homes etc... forget about that damn seat and worry about what's happening here!!!!!
Our Trump Jr. Takes a page from Senior's book. All about him at the root.
Just disgusting that this is what he is worried about while Canada is falling apart!
Correction: Trudeau wastes more taxpayer money as he keeps up push for UN Security Council seat during COVID-19 crisis
Good !
We do not need a seat in the UN, they seem to be controlled by despotic countries, but then, Trudeau likes that, admiring both the Chinese and Cuban systems of governance.
Liberals lied, Illegals continue allowed in, because UN wants open borders and Trudeau wants to sit with disgraced racists, misogynistic, anti-Semites, condemned by Amnesty, accused of war crimes, political disappearances and judicial killings. Nothings changed, Libs♥️Thugs
Ridiculous. Focus on Canada for once JustinTrudeau not your self-promotion
My vote would be for Taiwan and South Korea.
JustinTrudeau No Confidence!
Canada? Trudeau...
No, Canada doesn't keep up push - TRUDEAU keeps up push. Fixed it for ya.
karinagould you are an embarrassment to Burlington and Canada. People are dying and this is what you’re worrying about. Shame on you.
Not 'Canada', just JustinTrudeau !!!!
this is why Trudeau keeps giving away Canadian's money... he is hoping to buy a seat UN seat.. call for a federal election soon. we can go in to vote one at a time.
Assassination would be fine, because if he gets this seat were fucked
UNExit TrudeauIsPushingForThisSeat TrudeauIsAGlobalist NotCanadian
CTVTrudeausLibranosRepeaters NotReporters
As a wise man once said...the world needs more Canada.
Omg... embarrassing. Screw that seat.
Disgraceful
Why join the organization tjat accepts criminals ad members...mr Maduro got a seat last October...
Fuck! How much pay for that garbage?
Of Course Trudeau is!! Not Canada let's be clear about that
We are now experiencing Trudeau’s Post National State. Trudeau’s obsession with fhe UN will guarantee that Canada will be a puppet of the corrupt UN.
“foreign aid contribution to COVID-19 well beyond the current $50 million, which Lewis calls, 'woefully inadequate.' He said Canada's fair share would be $140 million at minimum.” These guys are crazy. One big bribery!! Fair share my butt!!
“Canada's international credibility has also risen in recent months because of the role it has taken in leading the quest to get answers from Iran about its January downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane”, .. I can’t believe they used this..he bowed to those slim balls
Does anyone at ctvnews ask PMJT why...?
What purpose does this serve?!(rhetorical question).
ctv start doing nation wide polls in your website about how many canadians want the security seat.
We are experiencing Trudeau Post National State right now. His global pandemic isn’t as much fun as he thought it would be.
Makes sense. Trudeau thinks his legacy has more to do with what he accomplishes internationally than domestically.
Birds of a Feather!
Canada deserves that status
Cause priorities, right?🙄
Trudeau sits at home on the phone to countries buying vites for a UN seat
Yeah, the world keeps turning
Change Canada to PMO and the headline is correct
Disgusting. At a time like this? Trudeau need to go.
Total BS, not necessary. If the UN wants Canada on its UNSC all it has to do is ask. We should ot be spending billions trying to buy a seat.
'Canada'? Don't you mean the Trudeau Government? Please correct.
Jambro01 Canada needs to develop an isolationist stance. First up, withdrawing from the UN.
F*ck the UN and the globalist ideology that led to this heath crisis and the upcoming economic disaster. Time for isolationism, nationalism to be guiding principles. Only deals that directly benefit Canadians.
How can get a UN security seat whan u I the house and not lead a country in it time of need?¿
Not Canada.... but Trudeau.
No trudeau is. Not canada
TrudeauMustGo
Why
I could care less what con bots have to say about this cuz I can tell they are all activated by these dog whistle tweets now. What I would like your organization to do is provide us with journalistic info about why 🇨🇦 would benefit from a UN seat right now!
Which part of CANADA does not care to be part of.... dont you get
You mean 'Trudeau keeps up push for UN Security Council seat'
We need this now more than ever.
Canada? No, Trudeau. I have never heard anyone talking about wishing we were on the UN Security Council. It’s a personal goal of Trudeau, nothing whatsoever to do with the rest of Canada.
Criminal agendas come first to liberals
Life and governance of Canada domestically and on foreign issues still need attending
Omg weez got to get invites to the U.N. eh. Free beer!!! So you hosers let us canucks take care of the security, and the fridge with the beer eh.
How much of this is Trudeau 's ego?
CANADAdeservesUNSecurityCouncil
Of course because PM Turdo 💩 needs to bribe his way in to feel powerful
Criminal Trudeau seeks a seat on the organized crime council as people die and his country goes under.
Somebody has to stand up to the USA, and conservatives opposed to this, are upset about it! cdnpoli
Where is the Canadian Dollar? Oh right......
No. JustinTrudeau is.
No surprise Trudeau still cares far more about optics and narratives and not nearly enough about Canada and Canadians
That is priority it would seem
Disgusting. Trudeau needs to get his priorities straight and think about this country first. Borrowing money to give away is insane.
raising taxes also
Treason.
The corrupt UN. Who cares. Globalists are finished.
He pushes his own agenda at the cost Oslo the taxpayer and he doesn’t care. He is the only one who cares.
Its the only thing Trudy really cares about. Not canadians just the empty chair. Corrupt individuals the lot of them.
Has anyone ever taken a vote on if Canadains want a UN seat? Or do Canadians know how much Trudeau has spent to date in his personal attempts to get this seat. Work on your relationship with USA first.
It a disgrace to be Canadian...Can I please have my taxes back?
Yup, Trudeau in a nut shell Just more proof that UN seat is more important than Canadians to him
Justin pushes for global spotlight, not Canadians.
Why do we want this Can someone explain logic’s behind this?
Wtf is Skippy JustinTrudeau going to do. The fool has no balls anyways. The UN is a has been globalist organization. Wtf has the UN done lately to help nation's in need. Nothing at all unless it's something in it for them.
The UN just needs to be dismantled! It's a corrupt organization, that serves no purpose in this world, and Canada does not need to be a part of that debacle.
We dont deserve one with a weakling leader we have ...he has been a EMBARRASSMENT to Canada ...
Canada is done, there are two many dummies in the cult now that think Justin is wonderful. I am shocked every day how many people can’t do anything but what Facebook and celebrities tell them. We should be so far away from the UN that we don’t even know who belongs.
A bullshit seat that nobody wants.
Give it up the majority of Canadians could care less! Only Trudeau wants it!
Why not?
I said I’d bring the beer to them meetings about security guards, so listen you U.N. Hosers, just let us in eh?
Trudeau's priority, not Canadians.
Can we focus on the virus and keeping our economy from failing...the UN is an outdated organization that has accomplish very minimal in the last 15 hrs at least...JT focus please!
Disgraceful Canadians are in peril and dying, a self centred and negligent Government wanting to sit with dictatorships and murderers
Of course Trudeau is He is still far too concerned with optics and narratives and not nearly enough with Canada and Canadians
And so it bloomin well should!
