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."

If/when this school bombing gets certified Carny is going to look like a right fucking tool for his endorsement of Israel and its lapdog.

This is a much better worded statement from the NDP.

Unfortunately Carney is stuck in a harder position. The NDP is free to make statements like this because they have no real significance, but Carney is still trying to thread the needle with the Americans on various trade matters so he can't go straight to negative statements.

I don't like it, this is the first time I've found myself seriously disagreeing with something Carney said, but at the same time I can't really fault him too badly. Ultimately it's more important what governments do rather than what they say, so we'll see if Canada continues to stay firmly out of this one.

If he can talk about the issues of American hegemony at Davos, he can hold true to that word in a statement like this.

Oh no, the U.S. is gonna negatively affect trade with us... as if Trump isn't literally out there threatening to abandon CUSMA, a deal that he made in his first term to replace NAFTA.

If their word never seems to matter, why should we hold ourselves to their standards?

Because we don't want Donald to have a fit and send troups, he's currently invaiding his second country this term and I doubt he'll be stoping anytime soon.
