Why Did Canda Lose A High-Profile Bid For A United Nations Security Council Seat?



CBC: Canada loses its bid for seat on UN Security Council

Norway and Ireland win two-year temporary seats on powerful security body

Despite an intense and costly diplomatic push, Canada has lost its bid for a coveted seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Norway and Ireland won the two available temporary seats, with 130 and 128 votes respectively. Canada won 108 votes, falling 20 short of the 128 needed to win a spot at the table.

It's a heavy blow for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne and other high-level officials who had been reaching out to political leaders around the world in a campaign to secure one of the two available rotating seats.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was quick to criticize the Liberal government on Twitter.

WNU Editor: For those who are new to the blog. I worked for the UN via ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) in Montreal for a number of years, followed by working at the UN building in New York City as a translator during their Assemblies. I am not surprised that Canada lost its bid, and here are my reasons why. Canada was late to this process. It takes 8 - 10 years of lobbying and "making deals" to get a UN security Council seat. Canada has been at it for only 4 years. A number of countries had already promised their votes to other countries, and it looks like they kept it. But it is not the only reason why they lost the bid. I still do not understand the policies, message and arguments that Canada was pushing on why it deserved a seat on the Council. And from what was being promoted .... abortion, LBGT rights, treatment of women and girls, etc., may play well in Canada, but it certainly does not play well in Muslim and some under-developed countries. It should also be noted that Canada alienated the three major powers on the Security Council who carry a lot of weight on other members. Prime Minister Trudeau's negative views on President Trump are well known. Canada has tense relations with China over the arrest of Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. And as for Russia. Russia has sanctions on Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland because of her views of Putin and Russia. That reason, among many, guaranteed no Russian support for Canada.

Look for Trudeau to take his anger out on Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Agreed. Trudeau is weak and spineless.

But also:

We don't need more SJWS. We need less m

Look at what SJW and BLM brought us.

MORE injustice. Not less. MORE dead. Not less. MORE cities burning. Not less. MORE suicides. Not less. MORE conflict. MORE depression. MORE angst.

Don't you agree? In my eyes, the SJW movement is a failed experiment and the ones still virtue signaling are the borderline retarded, the extremists who don't get nor allow jokes and the ones who actually commit moral crimes. You know the types. We all know why they virtue signal. Some of it is difficult to imagine. But that's why they do it. It's their social backup plan.

You just know when looking at Don Lemon what his issues are. The plugged eyes brows..the too thick makeup. The always being in a state of upset. He's a faggot. It's what they do haha they are bitchy and that's usually fun. His problem is that he's a terribly flawed man and a racist. Luckily he's got the shade of colour where racism is OK. The things he is allowed to say. Just wow. The division he's allowed to put into this country's heart by hiding his vile hatred behind his race.

Until people understand racism is rare but exists on both sides there is no social justice. Just motives and bullying. And he's a great bully. They all are. Loud. Full of himself. Totalitarian. Never accepting of your race. Your innocence. Only he is innocent, get it? You're guilty you unfortunate other race

I wonder what's up with Swalwell

Why do you think he's such a virtue signaller? Something is eating those SJWs up. That compulsive oversignalling that they're good. Like a shield they build preemptively. A disguise.

Telling you. All these major SJWs who virtue signal with such aggression. I bet any amount that we will find out something he tries to hide. Not this year maybe but soon. Under 5 years. Either molester or something maybe gay ..not sure... But he's got something to hide the way he virtue signals. They all do.

Who's taking the bet? Can just bet for fun. :)

All SJWs/virtue signalling must end now. Enough is enough
