Prime Minister Mark Carney backed U.S. air strikes on Iran, saying Tehran is the main source of instability in the Middle East and must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security,” the Prime Minister said in a joint statement with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand Saturday from Canada’s trade mission to India.

Well Canadians don't support it.

    To see our Prime Minister support a completely illegal and unjustified war is beyond galling.

    Sure, I had concerns about having a central banker for PM, but after campaigning on ‘elbows up’ I didn’t expect a hawkish toadie of the USA.

    Between Carney and Poilievre, the better of the two seemed pretty clear and still does. Doesn't mean it was a great choice.

    Frankly, I'm surprised we aren't seeing more floor crosses though. If you can choose to be part of a Conservative party in opposition or a Conservative party in government, why choose opposition?

    So much for the "rupture in the world order".

    Guess that doesn't apply to unprovoked acts of war for the sake of Western hegemony.

    this is not important, they can't pay the bills... 🤣

    US hegemony is finished (how to pay your bills for your 9999 bases when other ones are replacing dollar in many commercial operations? they can't receive "the US tax" and go down)

    Yeah, that's what the US is doing, Carney. Protecting international peace and security. With offensive bombings.

    If this motherfucker involves Canadian troops in a yankee war I am going to lose my shit.

    The United States is the main source of instability in the Middle East.

    I do not support any military action by the sitting US president at this time. They have extensively outlined a plan to use war as a means to dismantle democracy.

    So even if I agreed with the need for intervention, which I don't, the president's office cannot be held accountable to spearhead that action.

    Fuck off, Carney.

    If...and that's a big IF...the orange shit-stain had taken the appropriate steps through congress, then maybe you could be standing giving your support. But as it is, this is illegal by ANY standard of the law.

    That's our right-wing PM! Don't worry, it gets worse.

    The first major issue that I've been 180 degrees opposed to him on. Unfortunate.

    Every war is a bankers war, Carney is above all else a banker, so of course he is going to support this illegal war.

    So much for respect of international law.

    What's next? Will he say 'you know what? Maybe merging with the US is not a bad idea after all?'

    Seems like Israel is the main source at present but Carney forgets the old meme.
