Canada and the United Nations The United Nations remains crucial to Canada and essential to the conduct of diplomacy in an ever more inter-dependent world. Canada's traditional role as a peacekeeper is today being complemented by our leadership in responding to two of the most significant challenges we face in the post-cold war world: peacebuilding, or building sustainable peace in countries prone to recurring cycles of violence; and human security, or promoting the safety and security of people. Canada believes that efforts must be continued to reform the UN in order to ensure that it remains credible and relevant to the lives of individuals. www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca /canada_un/cdn_un-en.asp

Backgrounder - Rainy River Land Claim - Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Canada agreed to obtain the surrenders and took a surrender for sale of the Reserves (except for Manitou Rapids Reserve) from the Rainy River First Nations in 1914-1915. This includes the First Nations' negotiation costs and the market value of approximately 14,945 acres (6,048 hectares) of provincial Crown land, which Canada has agreed to set aside as reserve land for the RRFNs, subject to the terms and conditions of its Additions to Reserves Policy and the settlement agreement. In September 1982, the Rainy River First Nations filed a claim with Canada and Ontario claiming that the reserves were wrongfully taken and that the First Nations had been subjected to undue duress and influence which meant the First Nations had never freely consented to the surrenders resulting in their invalidity. ainc-inac.gc.ca /nr/prs/m-a2005/02659abk_e.html

NATIONAL POST UNITED NATIONS - Canada yesterday appeared before a United Nations committee on the elimination of racial discrimination to defend itself against allegations that racial injustices persist against black, Chinese and aboriginal Canadians, and that immigrants do not earn as much as people born in the country. Allegations that Canada discriminates against blacks, Chinese and aboriginal Canadians were discussed yesterday by the United Nations committee on the elimination of racial discrimination. Canada has some of the toughest anti-racism laws in the world, but submits to such grillings because it "believes that the world community will be gradually moved along if we and other countries support the processes," Mr. www.unwatch.com /canda-racism.html

Canada in the United Nations and NATO Canada advocates a zero nominal growth for UN budgets and a reform of the scale of assessments based on equity and which better reflects countries’ capacities to pay.

United Nations, We Stand On Guard for Thee!

Canada's missions as a member of the United Nations have only served as humanitarian aid. www.youthlinks.org /article.do?articleID=1516&sl=e

Seven Nations Stop US Beef Imports In Canada, where a single case of the disease was found in May, federal officials said late Tuesday that imports wouldn't be banned unless the suspected case was confirmed. The actions by the Asian nations came just hours after the U.S. government announced that a Holstein cow on a Washington state farm tested positive for mad cow disease, marking the disease's first suspected appearance in the United States. Japanese authorities have been especially leery about mad cow disease since the nation's herds suffered the first recorded outbreak of the disease in Asia in September 2001, causing meat consumption to plunge. www.rense.com /general46/sevben.htm

Abenaki Since the Abenaki usually retreated to Canada during war, New England came to think of them as Canadian Indians - which, of course, they were not - but it served as an excuse to take most of their land in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont without compensation. After Dummer's War, New England came to think of the Abenaki as having permanently migrated to Canada - an error which has persisted to the present. Organized as the Sokoki-St. Francis Band of the Abenaki Nation, a tribal council was established in 1976 at Swanton, Vermont. www.edzeppy.com /abenaki.htm
