Let's take a moment to consider our values
We are constantly reminded that Canada and our allies represent superior values than those held by our adversaries. We've had to struggle over that since the President of the US, the leader of the free and democratic world, has gone a bit nutso-kookoo in his second term. Some of his policies, for example the deportation of undocumented migrants, are an affront to Canadian values, which has motivated our PM to search for more agreeable allies amongst the remaining Nations of Virtue, as "Western Civilization" imagines itself.
Not only have we been disappointed in our former Ally Number One, many Canadians have been shocked by the actions of one of our other bestest allies over the past two and a half years; to wit, Israel's holocaust in Gaza and the West Bank. For thirty months Israel has bombed, strafed, rocketed, and starved the captive population of Gaza. Most of the world correctly calls this genocide.
On 28 February our two rogue allies joined forces to mount an entirely illegal attack on Iran. Our PM gave his qualified approval, but hinted that Canada would not join in with our allies. But wait a minute - seems a lot of our other allies with whom Carney was hoping to establish an anti-Trump coalition are signing up to support the Bibi-Trump war on Iran. Yesterday a German frigate arrived in Cyprus. Today Italy announced it would stand with the Free World's assault on Iran. France is sending it's aircraft carrier. Starmer planned to send the UK's carrier too, but alas, had to settle for a lesser contribution.
Looks to me like all those toadies who were aggressively denouncing Trump mere weeks ago are now busying themselves sucking up to a pair of war criminals. I'm guessing it's just a matter of time before Carney caves and commits Canada to this war on Iran too.
So much for "values." Empty talk won't butter our bread, but kissing up to billionaire war criminals just might.
