Is Canada part of the UN?

  1. No

  2. Yes

  3. Only as an observer

  4. Part of a coalition

The correct answer is: Yes

Canada is a member state of the United Nations, making option A incorrect. Although Canada was not originally a founding member, it joined later in 1945. Option C is incorrect because Canada is not just an observer, but a full member of the UN. Option D is incorrect because it is not part of a coalition within the UN, but a permanent member. This means Canada has the ability to veto any resolution, unlike coalition members who do not have this power.
