Ten reasons to support Ireland and Norway over Canada for UN Security Council seat

When Canada has a better foreign policy, focused on overcoming global inequities, then it will deserve the confidence of the world and a seat on the Security Council.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured June 4, 2020, speaking with reporters outside the Rideau Cottage in Ottawa. Despite its good reputation, the Trudeau government does not reflect the desire of most Canadians to be a force for peace and human rights in the world. To reconstruct after the COVID-19 pandemic, the UNSC requires voices that do not follow Washington and rather seek positive change, writes Bianca Mugyenyi. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
