Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

You had better channel your inner Chretien and keep us the fuck out of this, Carney.

These idiots are building fake outrage and risking world peace to stroke their egos and install authoritarian regimes designed to increase the funneling of wealth from the havenots to the haves. Fuck this war, fuck any wars. Go fight them yourselves.
- Its called military keynesianism. Its how the US creates dollars, which are then imported into Europe and the globe.
  Places like Europe, Canada, and China maintain a net export with the US, importing USD, which stabilizes their currency. The US imports debt and runs a large deficits in order to supply USD to the world. This is what Trump seemingly wants to milk to drop corporate tax, and thus Europe now has to build up their military, in order for their economic system to continue to function without USD.

  That Varoufakis speech was excellent. Thanks so much for sharing!

Either everyone gets nukes or no one gets nukes. Iran has every right to have them. Fuck I'd rather they have em than the Zionists next door who basically run a death cult.
And Ill wager any "nuke" that ever goes off in North America will end up being an Israeli false flag.

  I'll take that bet; I figure the first nuke to be used in anger on this side of the pond will be during the second American civil war
- I feel like that would almost guarantee Israel and Iran being turned into glass parking lots.
  
  If your talking the nuke in the US, yea I agree.

what fucking idiots. the neighbor to the south has a documented history of using nukes and using them against civilians.

Shut up carney

A few months ago I said maybe Canadians shouldn't put their faith into a globalist neolib banker and got down-voted.
- The best of 2 bad options, simple as that. There was no win in this election.
- PP came out with even stronger statements backing Israel, so...

So we're still USA's toy dog I see. edit: and/or Israel? I guess we watch their and our actions instead of words to find out soon enough. Abrahamic cults are embarrassing. Three of the majors except Mormons are involved this time.

To me, this statement sounds like not condoning America's actions but still walking the line as to not sabotage trade talks. This has been Carney's MO with Trump from the start, appease just enough without bending the knee to get a deal done.
- That's what it seems like to me as well.
  The last paragraph reads tongue-in-cheek, reminding people that Trump is going against the G7, against America's own policies, and did nothing to alleviate tensions.
  He knows if Trump even makes it to the last paragraph, he won't understand it.

What a joke of a prime minister!

Well they're pretty determined to get one now!

Elbows up! /s

Honestly part of me is agreeing that bombing these sites was good as long as they were building towards a nuke. If all this blows over in a month like a lot of things do lately, it is a bit of a safer world.
- The USA intelligence people testified Iran wasn't building nukes, so who to believe?
  
  Then what are these facilities?
  Would American intelligence reveal that they know they're building nukes if they had that information?
- This wont be blown over in a month though, all of the intelligence was saying they were not building bombs. If they had ever had the ability to build a bomb I am sure they would have let the world know about it, having nukes are nothing more than deterrence now people have seen the devastation they can do if they are armed and dropped hell they know the devastation and destruction they can do if they are just dropped without being armed.
  Iran now has bigger enemies that there traditional iron dome cannot even protect them in the least. The uranium they were enriching for the power plant, medicine, and research now has a fourth use ‘dirty bombs.’ If they had no plans on making a weapon of mass destruction, as all evidence suggests, they do now.
- Bombs for peace!
  
  Maybe?
