Perhaps our leaders’ thirst for a UN Security Council seat makes perfect sense — as an unearned symbol of self-styled virtue

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made one of his clearer attempts to explain his mostly baffling obsession with winning a temporary seat on the UN Security Council. Basically, he told reporters, the time after COVID-19 will be a lot like the time after the Second World War.

But why should Canada have that voice and not Ireland or Norway, our rivals for the temporary seat at next month’s vote? “FACT: Providing asylum claimants due process is not a choice. It is the law,” then Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen tweeted in July 2018. Trudeau was dispatched to Queen’s Park to educate Premier Doug Ford, who wasn’t being welcoming enough. “It didn’t seem to me that the premier was quite as aware of our international obligations to the UN convention on refugees, as he might have been,” Trudeau faux-lamented. “So I spent a little time explaining.

The bullshit babble of Trudeau does not impress the world to justify Canada a seat at the UN . Trudeau is trying very hard to buy a seat ...at any costs. It just won't happen ....SORRY!

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts.” ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report

Your paper doesn't hold water.

He says we need a seat for after the Covid era? TrudeaLies What a joke! He’s been trying for a UN seat since he got elected, right beside all the other dictators that sit there. TrudeauLies

Why the fake push for UNSC seat. Canada already sits at the table of the G8 and G20 NATO along with APEC & Francophone Commonwealth etc etc. Further Ambassador Dion at the EU in Brussels. One more seat doesn’t make any difference.

happytrails493 Canadian taxpayers are financing corrupt Trudeau’s vanity project for the UN Security Council seat. There are no benefits for Canada - Just for Trudeau.

CoryBMorgan

PaulaBeder This is simply a vanity project for him. He sees himself as a leader of some type of new world order and this is merely a stepping stone for him.

Do we get our money back? cdnpoli

The dictator needs to stop using our money to buy his dreams

Focused on the wrong fucking thing again! What a pinhead

Canada 6245 ppl dead Australia 101 ppl dead. The numbers speak for themselves. Trudeau was in Africa sucking for a UN seat in mid Feb and was not paying attention. Many Canadians died from the virus. This UN seat has already cost too much and I am not talking about the money.

That doesn't mean he wont give away billions trying

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau JustinTrudeau has spent $Billions trying to impress the UN UN in order to secure a UN Security Council seat all on the backs of Canadian taxpayers. It is now being said his chances are slim. He needs to repay the taxpayer for this foiled attempt.

Please explain how this serves the interest of Canadians & Canada? This is just an egotist trying to move to the world stage for personal reasons. We've lost Canada's sovereignty! Not even up for discussion or debate, all backdoor deals & bribes.

Nothing about caving-in to China says Security. Maybe it's just me...

Abandon it. Not worth the cost to 🇨🇦 or the potitical debt.

This is a total sham
