Canada is throwing its hat in the ring for a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, pledging to advance issues from online speech to access to abortion.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly on Tuesday announced Canada’s candidacy to sit on the council for 2028 to 2030, through an election that will likely take place in 2026.

This is bullshit. The real purpose is to land some contacts for a post politics gig.
