Canada (along with three other good old-fashioned white colonial settler nations: USA, Australia & New Zealand) voted no. 143 other countries voted yes, so it passed anyways.
Wait... we voted no? To a non-binding declaration?
Yup, that's right: "No rights for you!"
Um. What gives the Canadian state the right to dictate who get rights anyways?
JJ is right, it is embarrassing, but unsurprising.

I'm so glad to see stuff like this out there! I work for a company that is trying to save dying cultures through music art and film. 90% of languages and music will completely die out in one generation if we don't do something. These cultures have such rich value. We gotta do something!
