The loss was Canada's second consecutive defeat in a bid for a seat on the world's most powerful body, and stood as a stark reminder of the country's diminishing influence. The defeat of the Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau followed the loss by the former Conservative government of Stephen Harper in 2010.
Harris cited low spending on international development assistance and the decline of Canadian contributions to UN peacekeeping missions to historic lows -- two criteria that were widely seen as essential in winning a seat on the council. Trudeau dismissed suggestions that a loss for Canada would be a political failure for him personally, given the capital he has invested in the bid -- starting with his "Canada is back" declaration the day after he won the October 2015 federal election.
But it "should be seen as an indictment on our lack of spending, attention, and engagement with the world," she said. "These are the things that we will continue to do into the future, regardless of what happens this week. But it certainly would be nice to have that extra lever of a seat on the Security Council," Trudeau said.
*Trudeau loses bid for seat on the UNSC on first vote. There, fixed it for you.
Best news I heard in months. Justin lost it, ot Canada. BlackFaceTrudeau handed over billions to countries that will only pocket the money.
TURDEAU is a joke and the whole world sees it
CTVAtlantic The UN is a joke and so is globalism.
Trudeau was put in his place. What the world thinks of him was apparent.
Trudeau lost bid. Fixed it for ya.
Your boss Trudeau lost. Canadians wanted no part of the antisemitic U.N. Canadian taxpayers would like back all the money Trudeau used to bribe countries for votes.
African countries voted against Canada. ... Trudeau's Black face at fault
On the first vote? Didn't Harper get two votes? Did Harper finish ahead of Trudeau in votes?
Love to know the cost to keep the UN afloat for gods sakes get rid of the U.N give that money to UNICEF
Canada need to get a grip on what we are really we are a colony that’s it. I say we join the United States we can stop the bleeding and stop becoming a 3rd world colony.
So does it mean that Canada is no longer the UN's bitch?
Oh no for little potato
Zzzzz......
HOORAY
This has been fact checked to be TRUE.
Watch n see...PM Justin Trudeau WILL prevail...
So happy
Perhaps Justin hoped it would end with a shoot out against a Zamboni driving goalie. Of course that goalie is still a winner so it still wouldn’t have worked out.
tRUDEAU got less votes than Harper
On the first vote....ouch!
