Busy week for me here, since I've started working on the shorter posts. Anyway, today's topic is Canada getting dissed (again) at the UN. This has happened a couple of times in the last while, between people breaking for lunch when the PM went to make our pitch for a temporary seat on the Security Council and us losing to Portugal (wtf?) in the vote this week.
Fuck the UN. Not because of this, but because it's a useless bloated bureaucracy steered by a bunch of countries that have nothing to teach us about running a civilization. I don't mean the Security Council, I mean the voting block of Developing and Muslim countries that vilifies democratic Israel and hobbles women's rights at every opportunity.
Portugal is one of the PIGS that have (possibly fatally?) crippled the Euro Zone, and THEY beat us for a seat? That tells you what sort of company we'd be keeping, and more importantly who we'd have to impress to get the votes to win. Thank you, but we have better things to do. Of course our Foreign Minister didn't cover the government with glory asserting that it was the Liberals who spiked the vote, but what can you do?
It's too much to hope that we could resign from the "organization" but we could at least treat it with the same regard it has for Canada. Except when it needs us for something of course...
