Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
When the going gets tough, or even mildly inconvenient, liberals will always side with fascism instead of “the left” (NOTE: the left includes the concept of basic human rights).
Carney is NOT a liberal in anything other than name. He is Harper in a shell with paint. Were the conservatives more similar to how they were in the 80s (ie: red Tories, and not batshit insane) I am confident that Carney would be under that tent. That today’s right of aisle parties come with a mandatory helping of ignorance and racism rather precludes anyone with an ounce of policy sense from working with them. That plus Overton window stuff = Carney’s “liberals” are basically center right.
