Liberals made Canada irrelevant

 

For Canada's best interest, the ‘anti-Trump Syndrome’ peddled by Liberals is disproportionate and inappropriate.  Prime Minister Carney and his agitators promote it.  They magnify it, believing voters are emotional and dumb, and that it is a vote-getter.

Liberals have a whole team to denigrate anyone who disagrees with them.  It is a set of incentives of both attraction and compulsion.  They are hell-bent on power and control, just like any dictatorial regime, as they manipulate our democratic system to promote their ideological cause.  Ethics do not matter, as voters seem to give them a pass by swallowing their fibs and excuses.  It’s all a brutal power game of performance -Liberal style.

Then the USA makes a courageous move to say 'enough' to the murderous excesses of Iran.  Finally, someone is prepared to take on all the risks, invest considerable resources, and make sacrifices to uphold international law regarding Iran.  It is clear that the war is about regime change and providing the means for locals to take back their stolen country.

But the Liberals, who have no coherent foreign policy, try to straddle the fence, revealing their moral emptiness.  In view of what the world has suffered from Iran since 1979, they muse about 'why the war'. …incredible.  These Liberal narcissists, who are about their own power and control, can't handle a simple moral question.

Carney’s first statement on the war in Iran reflected some realities.  However, in view of their electoral vote-getting policy of "Trump Syndrome”, he could not be seen to endorse either Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu strongly.  So, he stumbles around trying to find some way to reconcile supporting the war without actually supporting it, while also being forced to acknowledge that we may have to join it.

In five days, Prime Minister Carney gave very different positions on the Iranian military operations.  It revealed his inexperience and ideological deficits.  First, there was hedged support for the USA military incursion.  The next day, Carney backtracked somewhat, calling for diplomacy.  Then he made himself look ridiculous by calling for a ceasefire.  Later, he mused that an invasion violates international law (there was no invasion at that point).  Then, elliptically, he said that Canada might eventually have to enter the war.  It was an unbelievable lack of principled diplomacy and foreign policy created by nightly popularity polling.

International law has severe limits when dealing with tyrants like Iran, who give the law no regard.  Iran's religious fanatics are similar to gangland activity, for regardless of international law, they will extort and murder to continue their enterprise.

As the prime minister put it at the start of the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran: “Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

When Poilievre made the same argument in support of Israel doing the same thing in the fall of 2024, the Liberals suggested it would trigger a broader war.  They accused the Conservative leader of not wanting peace in the Middle East.  The record reveals Liberal unprincipled dissembling.

The Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition reflected longstanding Conservative Party positions that characterize Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism and a threat to regional security.  Canada designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism in 2012 and severed diplomatic relations the same year.  Pierre Poilievre says the Conservative Party is in support of allied military and diplomatic efforts aimed at countering Tehran's reign of terror, while voicing solidarity with Iranians seeking political reform.  Conservative policy is clearly in support of regime change in Iran without weasel words or qualifiers.

Nobody is waiting for Canada's ideological position and fence-sitting opinion concerning the take-down of the Iranian regime.  Nevertheless, Carney does a rhetorical pirouette for his feckless supporters.  Carney’s unprincipled musing tries to be anti-Trump and not support a war that was not approved by the UN, while reluctantly admitting the heinous nature of the Islamic regime and its murderous ideology.

The regime in Tehran is the principal source of terror in the Middle East and around the world.  It tried to build nuclear weapons to annihilate our allies.  It massacred tens of thousands of its own people.  It orchestrated the attacks of October 7, 2023, in Israel, and murdered Canadian passengers on Flight PS752, sought to kill prominent Canadian leaders, and ruthlessly targets Canadians of Jewish and Iranian descent who oppose the regime.  This war is not about faraway radicals, for many Iranian regime supporters are here in Canada, as they have used our weak immigration system, and formerly used their Embassy in Canada as a base of espionage.

What implications might Canada's prevarication have for diplomatic relationships with other nations?  We expect truth and realism from a national leader.  We do not want an ambiguous policy driven by overnight popularity polls.  We don’t need leadership that embarrasses this country with flip-flops at a time when we need stability at the helm.  Liberals have made Canada weak and irrelevant.
