The alternative is to trade with the totalitarian regime, which serves to keep them in power. If you could support the people but not the regime then of course that would be the best course of action, but that is not how it works.

We are trading wit an tolitarian regime called saudi arabia. It is not of canada goddamn business to force iraninas to take out their own regime. It ia not like Iran want to attack Canada.

We all know all the sanctions are there simply because Iran was made an enemy of the usa and israel

You should check how sanctions are affecting the people of Iran and in general what outcomes regime-change sanctions have produced around the world. Also check under what conditions better governments emerge out of worse ones. Hint: it tends not to be under severe sanctions.
