Thumbs up Lawmaker: Move U.N. north of border

Excellent idea! Get the UN out of the United States and its one step close to getting the United States out of the United Nations.

They have my full support to get the hell out!

Move U.N. to Toronto: Canadian MP

OTTAWA, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A Canadian member of parliament says the United Nations should move from New York to Toronto, a report said Friday.

Dennis Mills, a veteran Liberal M.P. whose district, or riding, covers part of Toronto, is no stranger to orchestrating large events, the National Post reported.

Most recently, he hastily organized a mega-concert for the city featuring the Rolling Stones. Last year, he was instrumental in bringing the pope.

Mills has long called for the 400 acres of undeveloped waterfront property to be used for a more creative purpose than a proposed series of high-rise condominiums.

He wants a quarter of the land to be offered for a new U.N. headquarters. A $15-million monorail could be built by Canadian rain maker Bombardier to link the facilities with Toronto's downtown core, he said.

The U.N. headquarters is one of New York's prime tourist attractions, but the U.N.'s top manager has said the buildings are a safety hazard in need of billions of dollars in repairs. The United Nations has approached the United States for a $1.3-billion loan to cover some of the costs.
