Following Canada’s failed attempt at a seat on the UN Security Council, Prime Minister Trudeau has appointed a new ambassador to the UN: the Hon. Bob Rae, formerly Canada’s Special Envoy to Myanmar and on Humanitarian and Refugee Issues. At a time when the UN and all multilateral organizations are being widely questioned and under threat, Canada has attempted the emphasize its commitment to these global forums. What has changed since the days of our Centre’s namesake, Lester B. Pearson? And what traditions might need reviving? Join the Pearson Centre, the Hon. Bob Rae and Prof. Andrew Cohen as we examine what Canada can do to re-imagine multilateralism.
Guest: Hon. Bob Rae - Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations
