    So as events unfold, the government updates its position. Why is the author presenting this as a bad thing? It’s not surprising that the Canadian government would initially be generally supportive of strikes; they had already declared the IRGC a terrorist organization after all.

      Looking from the outside, I would say the Canadian people already changed their opinion of the US, that’s what got Carney elected, and they have been very consistent with the long term success of Buy Canadian and the plunging travel numbers into the US.

      Carney’s original comments were not at all critical of the US’s aggression, they were more supportive, which is clearly not the stance that Canadians in general are taking towards the US.

      In 2018 the US threw away the diplomatic solution established in 2015 and replaced it with sanctions (which do kill people). Now its moved to directly killing people. There is a lot to be critical of.
