Thanks to Trump’s economic policies Canada has been forced to diversify its economic partners. This has included investment with the UAE. The CBC reported in Nov 2025 that the UAE to invest 70 billion with Canada. So he has to show to be supportive of his new partners.

Did Carney send his condolences to the 150+ (civilian) girls killed by the US-Israeil attack?

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 hours ago

I think time for Carney to be deployed to Iranian soil with just his trusty potato peeler a bible and alucky rabbitsfoot.. He'll either fix the issue of have a sudden realization of the able of not bombing or invading other countries

na na na, he only condemns the unprovoked attacks. (of which there are approximately zero). he doesnt condemn the provoked attacks

Also macron not long ago asked Iran who was backstabbed twice during negociations to engage in good faith negociations

If a sniper is trying to kill me and my neighbor was letting them sit on their roof while they attempted to do so, I’d be a little upset with my neighbor.

The gall to do the sign condemning the fake ass notion of international law the US doesn't have to follow, putting down the sign and all - well, guess he put the fucking sign back up lol

[–] RumorsOfLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 hours ago

yeah the sign is back up. but when the sign goes up for the second time it means something different

They are supporting enabling and funding the war on Iran. Of course they're viable targets.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

But the civilians they killed don't.

From a political standpoint, I can kinda understand why he said this even if he doesn't believe it. You have to remember that the most unhinged world leader in the entire world is right next door. Sure it's pretty classless and it would have been better to be silent, but with the warmongering currently going on in the US it's not a bad idea to be preemptive.

I don't agree with it and the statement pisses me off, but I'm trying to be a little objective when the US is on the warpath.

This line of thinking would make a lot more sense if there wasn't a long, storied history of Trump completely ignoring sycophants when they're not immediately useful to him. You'd expect someone like Carney to know better. It's enough to make a person physically cringe.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

It's definitely not the right choice, but I can see why he'd do it. Silence would have been better. If he'd have said nothing nobody would be arguing about him.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago

I'd think staying silent would achieve this goal.
