Claudia, for your information, and for the folks who read your blog here, I have started to look for the legislation that was passed by the Canadian Parliament which made Canada a member of the United Nations.

It makes sense to me that the legislation passed so long ago can be amended so that Canada is no longer a member of that glorified debating society.

So, here is one more criterion for Freedom House to gauge how free a country is – leaving the United Nations. The more willing it is to leave the glorified debating club, the more free it is.
