Between the UN vote and this, Canada has taken enough slaps in the face from the Middle East.

Thier idea of Anti Arab policies is any kind of support for Israel. In terms of this trade war, to me its manufactured by the UAE who want opened up flight rights to Canada while not giving us anything substantial in return.

I've said my peace about the UN before, but I think its time that Canada reminds the world about how much we've sacrificed for that body. Canada should cut back on its donations to the UN, we should withdraw completely from their Kyoto environmental replacement policy and further reduce troops and manpower going to the UN.

In terms of foreign aid to the Middle East, we need to cut off any foreign aid to middle eastern nations, and maybe refocus that gained money on better nations. I mean frankly you didn't see these nations lining up to help whenever a natural disaster hits this country.

Whats the point, the UN as a body is the gang that couldn't shoot straight. Peace Keeping is an obsolete practice without peace enforcement. This is a body that regularly elects the worst of the worst in terms of human rights or woman's rights to head up those bodies, then they elect Portugal a nearly bankrupt country thats probably going to get bailed out by some middle eastern country to the council.

I blame Stephen Harper for wanting that Security Council seat in the first place. He should have passed that "honor by".
