Is Canada part of the UN?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only as an observer nation

  4. Part-time membership

The correct answer is: Yes

Canada is a full member of the United Nations (UN) and has been since its inception in 1945. This means that Canada actively participates in the decision-making processes and has a say in the policies and actions of the UN. Option B is incorrect because as mentioned, Canada is a member of the UN. It is not excluded from the organization. Option C is incorrect because while Canada did initially join the UN as an observer in 1945, it gained full membership later that year. Option D is also incorrect because the concept of part-time membership does not apply to the UN. Member countries are either full members or non-members/observers.
