Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.
Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

These idiots are building fake outrage and risking world peace to stroke their egos and install authoritarian regimes designed to increase the funneling of wealth from the havenots to the haves. Fuck this war, fuck any wars. Go fight them yourselves.
Its called military keynesianism. Its how the US creates dollars, which are then imported into Europe and the globe.
Places like Europe, Canada, and China maintain a net export with the US, importing USD, which stabilizes their currency. The US imports debt and runs a large deficits in order to supply USD to the world. This is what Trump seemingly wants to milk to drop corporate tax, and thus Europe now has to build up their military, in order for their economic system to continue to function without USD.
