Carney's lofty talk at Davos came crashing down to reality just a few weeks later, as Ottawa failed to take a stand against US-Israeli war

Carney warned about the need for middle powers to work together for mutual protection in a global system where there are seemingly no constraints on the actions of great powers. He suggested they should build something bigger, better, stronger and more just together.

Why, then, did his government immediately support the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran just a month later?

…

Statements made on X (formerly Twitter) by the minister of foreign affairs, Anita Anand, about Iran, Ukraine and Lebanon over the past month suggest that Canada places more blame on Iran for the war than it does on the actual aggressors.

In addressing the source of the conflict, Anand’s statements have systematically erased the original act of US-Israeli aggression, focusing instead on Iran’s response, including its strikes on Gulf states and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s actions are denounced as reprehensible, while US and Israeli attacks are “offensive operations”.

International law is invoked against Iran, but not against the aggressors. While Canada condemns Iranian attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and the killing of their nationals, it does not do the same for US-Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure or civilians.

    Wher did I or this article claim ALL Canadians think tbis? We are talking about your leaders.

    I didn’t say that. You may have misunderstood my comment. At least it’s not what I meant.

    The only thing I say is that - at least from my point of view - social media posts are not enough to come up with such a headline, especially as Carney has shown much more double standards these days by defending his MP Michael Ma’s approach regarding Chinese forced labour (and even hailing Ma for his political views as I have read).
