Canada has gotten the UN Security Council 1 year membership each time it has asked. Every time. One can ask every 10 years.
It is a source of great pride for those who host on the Canadian Taxpayers.
Canada asked again this year. The 'born again' Christian Zionist sociopaths running Canada as Israel's lapdog (with full support of the MSM) pulled out all the stops in the last three weeks to cajol UN members to vote Canada in again.
Canada lost. To Portugal (http://www.voanews.com/english/news/africa/southern/Germany-India-Colombia-South-Africa-and-Portugal-Win-UN-Security-Council-Seats-104800949.html)
Germany, India, Colombia, South Africa and Portugal have been elected to non-permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council. Tuesday's vote in the U.N. General Assembly saw some drama as Canada withdrew in a third round of voting as Portugal appeared poised to defeat Ottawa’s bid.
Minions in the ruling party are saying Canada lost because the opposition criticises the government and Canada did not provide a "unified face" to the world.
Is Harper’s double-double or Ignatieff’s trash talk to blame for UN debacle? (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/is-harpers-double-double-or-ignatieffs-trash-talk-to-blame-for-un-debacle/article1754695/)
Foreign-policy spin war. The commentary, rhetoric and blame game being played around the Harper government’s loss of a Security Council seat Tuesday makes for entertaining reading. Here’s a taste; decide for yourself who won.
Some media admits Canada's strong support for Israel is one of three or four issues that have degraded Canada's image in the world and caused us to loose for the first time. But I expect articles like the Globe's, focusing on the irrelevant issues about this vote, will be the norm. As example, much of the middle east is unhappy with Canada because our airline wants access to an airport.
