Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he could not rule out his country’s military participation in the escalating war in the Middle East, after earlier saying that the US-Israeli strikes on Iran were “inconsistent with international law”.
Speaking alongside Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra on Thursday, Carney was asked whether there was a situation in which Canada would get involved.
“One can never categorically rule out participation,” Carney said, noting the question was “hypothetical”.
“We will stand by our allies,” he said, adding that “we will always defend Canadians”.
I am embarrassed to be Canadian right now. Seems that speech he gave in Davos was all BS.
Read the whole quote. He is too well spoken to not get fucked by sound bytes and out of context quotes. When you say more than “Attack Iran good”, you can easily be quoted out of context.
It wasn’t, but it wasn’t about being moral nations with humane people but about keeping the status quo as much as possible whilst slowly divorcing/diversifying from America.
A politician? BSing and grandstanding? I’m shocked.
