President of the UN General Assembly Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, from Nigeria, addresses the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly, on Sept. 24, 2019.Canada has lost its bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council, nearly five years after the Trudeau government declared winning a seat one of its highest foreign-policy priorities.
Mr. Champagne wore a face mask as he entered the UN’s horseshoe-shaped assembly chamber to cast Canada’s ballot Wednesday. The voting process was unprecedented, as representatives from member states entered the assembly at a staggered rate to respect COVID-19 restrictions. Canada focused its campaign on supporting the world’s most vulnerable, particularly African, Caribbean and Pacific island states that have been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also touted its membership on numerous multilateral organizations, including the G7, G20 and NATO, and leaned heavily on its role as a convenor on the world stage.
Ireland is stronger than Canada on the peacekeeping front, with one of the highest per-capita troop contributions to UN peacekeeping operations. Mr. Trudeau campaigned in 2015 on a promise to restore Canada’s commitment to UN peace operations, but took more than two years to announce plans to deploy only 250 Canadian peacekeepers to Mali for a one-year operation, which has since ended.

'Canada's loss of bid for UN Security Council seat a crushing blow to Justin Trudeau's ego. Billions of Canadians' tax dollars spent in vain in pursuit of PM's vanity project.' Headline fixed courtesy of Headline Repair Service.
This wasn't Canada's loss. It was the Trudeau govt's loss. Big distinction. cdnpoli CanadaIsBack UNSecurityCouncil UNSC
Just to note. Wonder why the slant then, but now it's 'Canada'?
Yo out of my hair with that gate 🧿
Who the hell wants to be involved with an organization that has an oppressive regime heading the human rights commission?
CORRECTION .... Not Canada, you’re prime minister JustinTrudeau lost the vote .... he has 0 credibility outside of the Canadian elitist bubble
Canada lost nothing. Trudeau lost his personal project bid. Why did you declare in 2010 'Harper' lost but when its negative for Trudeau you declare 'Canada' lost? Biased media? Or just earning your 'bailout' money?
So funny watching the zombie LPC cheerleaders shrug it off as though it was no big deal. Exactly the way the blue cons did when they lost it. It was a big deal to both, and neither deserved it.
“Last time, we lost to Portugal – which I think was more of an embarrassment if we’re going to really take stock – than today, where we lost out to two very strong progressive countries that are very similar to us,” Prof. Momani said. “At the end of the day, they outspent us.”
Is it bad if I say “Good!”?
How about making domestic issues a high priority. Forget about the world stage. Canadians are struggling to pay their bills and keep small businesses open.
What hubris and folly. Thank goodness it’s over.
Well when the UN needs help I’m sure Ireland and Norway will step up
JustinTrudeau is useless we all know that. That being said so is the UN Security Council

◻️The Trudeau government has criticized former PM Stephen Harper for withdrawing Canada from the 2010 Security Council race after it became clear it would lose. ◻️Canada garnered only 108 votes today, compared with the 114 that it got on the first round of elections in 2010.
Why even try? UN is dead under China.
Funny how you said it was an embarrassment when Harper lost in his bid to get Canada elected. How is this not an embarrassment given the billions we spent to try and buy a spot?
Ireland and Norway have been campaigning for years! Canada made a lame last minute sprint.
A joke from start to finish!
Congratulations to Ireland and Norway.
Thank you Trudeau for wasting so much, time, money, and energy on this.
We don't deserve it
Canada exemplifies peace and diversity in the world. What a shame.
Good!
Notice how last time it was a deep embarrassment for Harper but this time it’s Canada’s loss.
Another Trudeau misstep. When do we get to vote for a new PM again? I'm more tired of him than COVID.
Truly a shame. Canada has much diverse & huge population. Geographically it is a larger mass than the other invested countries that were up for open seat. Geographically it is also diverse. Meeting UN discretionary criteria is difficult.
Too bad. Canada gave it a good go. No shame in losing the seat to a country like Ireland.
ok a break in spending my money now
How does your mind deceive you? ' Free yourself' your mind is obsessed with what other minds are thinking (mind reading). Your mind is horribly competitive and insecure, comparing you to the neighbors, co-workers, friends..
Pathetic waste of time by JustinTrudeau Now reopen Parliament and get on with real work at home!
Fire Foreign minister Champagne
Trudeau turned us into losers
Big shout out to all the FN folks who gave up clean drinking water for this shot.
Trudeau sold out Canada's principles for a personal vanity project and still lost. What a waste.
Guess you can’t buy love after all and in this case prostitution didn’t work either.
globepolitics Got less votes than harper. Vote LeslynLewis
