Former U.S. ambassador to the UN says now is not the time for Canada to retreat on the world stage
In an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday, author and diplomat Samantha Power says now more than ever democracies need to play a bigger part in advocating for the value of international cooperation, whether through the UN or elsewhere.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ramped up his lobbying efforts in recent months with African and Caribbean countries in a last-ditch attempt to shore up support. Holding a temporary position was one of his key foreign policy objectives since taking office in 2015, declaring a few months later "Canada is back" on the world stage.
Power said the loss isn’t surprising given how late Canada entered into the race compared to its competition.
