Nope. I think they're happy enough not bothering with the political grandstanding other countries get up to - and the related costs with doing so.

Depends on how much Canadians want it I suppose, SC also means responsibility as well as goodies
One other thing will the SC be even around or relevant by 2050 especially when we have people advancing G20/G8/G3/G2 etc etc. G2 or G20 is the biggest threat to SC in my view as the SC grows it may become deadlocked more and more.

The veto makes the whole thing rather pointless.

Well it does and it doesn't USA acted without to much bother for IRAQ etc but it would get annoying every time you wanted to do summit.
The G (insert favoured number) meeting's have a bonus in that most of it is behind closed doors I expect more and more it will be the favoured forum between the Great Powers
