Petition to the Canadian Federal Government,
Whereas,
- Canada has been an active member at the United Nations, since the foundation of this organization in 1945. In 2015 a UN committee elected Saudi Arabia to a four year term as Chair of the Human Rights Council, and in 2017 a UN committee elected Saudi Arabia to a four year term as a member of the Commission on the Status of Women.
- Saudi Arabia is one of the world's leading oppressor of women rights.
- Canada spends close to $163 a year per Canadian on foreign aid that is tied to the United Nations.
- In 2015, the federal government censored its Human Rights Report on Saudi Arabia.
- Women throughout the world rely on the United Nations to provide protection from various atrocities and abuses inflicted upon them, and this protection is now in question.
- Canada should and must lead by example, and announce that these actions involving Saudi Arabia as member of the UN Council and Commission, are in violation of everything that Canadians and our country stands for.
We, the Canadian people, call upon the federal government to release the complete human rights report on Saudi Arabia.
We, the Canadian people, call upon the federal government to redirect all funding to the United Nations in protest to Saudi Arabia being on the Human Rights Council and the Commission on Status of Women, and redirect all of this funding to WOMEN CHARITIES ACROSS CANADA.

The Canadian government continues to hide behind silence while ignoring the absolute absurdity of Saudi Arabia holding power on the Commission on the Status of Women. I am currently tracking down every official who refuses to answer why our tax dollars flow into this hollow institution. They think if they ignore us long enough the pressure will fade but they are dead wrong.

The momentum behind this petition is proving that Canadians are fed up with our government funding a system that empowers the world's biggest oppressors. Ottawa is counting on us to stay silent while they look the other way, but this surge shows they are running out of excuses.

I am a Canadian Citizen living in Norway and hope to return home soon. The UN is a sham!
Canada won't denounce the UN's approval of Saudia Arabia's human rights violations, because Canada's leaders have no back bone.
This would be a productive move.
The current federal government of Canada has committed treason against ever Canadian citizen, and has betrayed every election promise to the Canadian peoples... Has also been in conflict of international law regarding the rights of women and Christian people around the world, and is in violation of half a dozen ethics violations in Canadian Law and government operating procedures.... This must be stopped and the federal liberals held to account....
yes give to charities across Canada
That Sounds pretty fair to me.
Resirectthose funds to real woman's rights foundations, not to fake ones

CANADA should not be funding the UN. We should indeed redirect these funds to support Judeo Christian Women's Groups.
