he won't. The headline is bait and the article itself says that it's all hypothetical, if it comes down to defending Canadians, they weren't consulted, blah blah blah. can't rule out anything if allies request aid.

Him willingly sending the military willy nilly would be political career suicide for him and the party and he knows it, he's not stupid.

The article is more nuanced than the headline. And these statements mostly deal in hypotheticals and ambiguities.

Lol jesus...I know the speech at Davos was kinda bullshit, and even it was not like...anti-imperialist, it was just honest about imperialism and our participation in it...

But FFS it was nice enough bullshit to pretend to care about for a few months, no??

you fucking idiot, you had everything going for you...

He didn't need to rule out the possibility of ruling it out. I heard him on the radio. He said in a direct way that he would not want to see a ceasefire at this time. Of course it wouldn't be possible to have one right now in any case. Along with all the other things he's said it very much looks like he's still entirely supportive of this unprovoked war of aggression but belatedly understands that admitting to this might be politically disadvantageous.

Like hell it can't.

There goes my interest in joining the reserves.
