Breaking News -- Canada loses its bid for seat on UN Security Council

[New Person]

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

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne and other high-level officials have been reaching out to political leaders around the world in a campaign to beat Ireland and Norway and secure one of the two available rotating seats.

The Security Council holds ten seats for temporary members that join the table for two-year terms. The council has five permanent members — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China — which have the power to veto resolutions.

This is the best news for Canadians this years. No more waste of public resources, no more bribery using tax dollars for your vote. Yeah UN is pretty much a joke.

结果比较正常。加拿大是美国的附庸，其他国家认为有美国了，这席位应该留给别的相对独立的国家。

可能受美國影響太多，被美國的負面形象連累。
期待加拿大多發揮國際上的軟實力。
