Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement:

"The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one.

The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."

Perhaps Russia is now justified in doing whatever it wants, does that mean we stop hearing people like Carney call out "Russia's illegal war on Ukraine" when we dont stand by international law ourselves?

I'd guess things like tariffs from the country holding the world reserve currency are also now justified, even though it causes crisis in countries that utilize it for global trade. Everyone gets to just do whatever benefits them and we stop attempting to harmonize or maintain some semblance of law and order as we embrace economic nihilism.

Justified? justification has nothing to do with it. what carney said was true, the large countrys rule, middle powers dont . thats what everyone doing, they're choosing not to stick they're necks out for some religious state trying to build nukes and fund terror orgs. that doesn't mean he isnt trying to set up middle powers networks. i feel like everyones lost the plot these days.

Singh confronted him in the election debate he refused to acknowledge it . He don't want to so he don't have to take even more actions against Israeli terrorism and settler colonialism

Canada signed the Geneva and genocide convention your stupid excuses don't matter. He has the obligation to support Palestinians not Israel

sounds like more avoiding the issue that he doesn't want to get involved, just like every other political matter people like you try to get him swept up in, grow up you insipid child, this is not our fight and thats clearly that stance hes taking.

fuck getting involved in religous conflicts, you go over and help them if your so inclined keyboard warrior.

Was his speech meant as an endorsement to that?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 day ago

=.= his davos speech yes, if your talking about the Iran one. no, kind of. he basically talked for a minute or 2 about a bunch of the bad stuff Iran did, he specifically said he approved of the us destroying the nuclear sites but thats all he really said on the matter. he was in the middle of talks on trade with india so its clear hes perusing the middle power network. this all seems like smoke.
