can someone summarize the following quote and add your point of
view to it
Canada, our right-minded, unabashedly
internationalist northern neighbor, had won every race for a seat
on the U.N. Security Council since the international body's
founding in 1945 -- and for good reason. Canadian diplomats
practically invented U.N. peacekeeping (the Canadian currency
features a picture of U.N. peacekeepers), and smart sanctions are a
decidedly the county's creation as well. Most recently, five
civilians and two Canadian Mounties, including the top U.N. police
commissioner, lost their lives while staffing the U.N. mission
during the January earthquake in Haiti.
Despite all this, Canada got whooped
in its latest bid for a seat on the 15-state council, beaten not
only by a formidable European power like Germany but also by a tiny
European country, Portugal. …
So what gives?
Put simply, Canada offended a lot of
people. It lost African votes by redirecting foreign aid to Latin
America; it annoyed China by criticizing the country's human rights
record and delaying a high-level visit to Beijing for more than
four years; and it irritated Middle Eastern governments by backing
Israel more fervently and scaling back aid to Palestinian refugees.
And on top of it all, Canada has scaled down its peacekeeping
commitment in recent years.
In other words, not everyone thinks
that Canada is the model U.N. citizen it once was.
