He adds: "With this access, the relevance is. "

"All of a sudden they are really popular in all over The World , because if someone Can not reach, the Chinese or The Americans or the French, you know, you Can . "

The Council has the great responsibility. Allow the peace-keeping operations, impose international sanctions, and determine how the UN should be a response to the conflicts around The World .

But The Council is not always in The Mood to cooperate, says Mr. Chapnick.

"There are times when you Can actually change The International rules of The Game , and there are other times where you Can absolutely. And that is completely unpredictable. "

observed In 2010, Canada suffered their first defeat for a seat in The Council . Portugal, a small European nation in economic turmoil, in time, moved excited the win, and Germany won The Other open seat.

In Canada, that the defeat was a political discussion with the opposition parties blame the ruling Conservatives for what they saw as an embarrassing failure.

"In some ways, The Portuguese , in other respects, Canada is lost," says Mr. Chapnick.

Portugal, not only ran a strong Campaign , but actively campaigns against Canada, recruiting partners and allies in The Campaign against his bid.

Canada the Supplement deficiencies, he says, including ernst on The Campaign late in The Game . Also, given the skepticism of the African delegations, after the closure of some embassies on The Continent .
