If only Carney had the courage to say something like this on behalf of Canadians...

Prime Minister Sanchez of Spain:
“Because the question is not whether or not we are in favour of the Ayatollahs. No one is. Certainly not the Spanish people and of course not the Spanish government. The question, rather, is whether or not, we are on the side of international law and therefore, of peace.”

instead we get waffling and backtracking.

to be fair PM Sanchez has been PM - in politics - longer than Carney, who is an economist first, and a diplomat second.

Spain is an 'old country' that's seen a lot of history happen...

Also, Canada sleeps on the same (continental) bed(rock) as the USA, and they would love to just turn over and rape us.

It's not even just the fact that Carney won't stand up to Trump — although IMO that's bad enough on its own. It's also that he's calling the US our "ally" and actively pushing their propaganda:

Carney continues to lie about Iran's nuclear capabilities and aims, calling them a "nuclear threat" either today or yesterday. Both the IAEA *and* CIA agree that no Iranian nuclear program exists. Yet its supposed existence was the entire pretext for the US and Israel's unprovoked attacks. Carney is going out of his way to help Trump and Israel by running political & rhetorical cover for them.

This can't be explained away as naiveté, in my opinion.

@patatas @Sassinake I truly wonder what Carney thought during the run up to the Iraq War when there was at least an attempt by the US Administration to dupe the world into a nuclear threat from Iraq, and Chrétien read the room in Canada, and refused.
