What some people mentioned really makes the point: Sanctioning Iran makes sense, but if we’re truly doing it to be good people then there should be sanctions on Israel and Saudi Arabia and other places as well. It’s not Iran being the target that’s the problem, it’s all the people that aren’t targets. The US is literally a violent neighbour who has expressly stated that they want to hurt us and who is doing so many blatantly evil things to not only its own citizens and immigrants but even to our people who are there and Carney’s on his knees for them.

If we sanctioned the US for blockading Cuba I would be so damned happy, but people would lose jobs and whichever politician pushed for it would be strung up and flogged.

Mark “Elbows Up” Carney became Mark “Knees Down” Carney so damn quick after getting elected. Really just immediately cowed to every single US demand, at best was just a normal negotiater but hasn’t actually been able to put his foot down over much of anything of consequence.
