    Ok but who is being ruled by pedophile oligarchs? This is a Canadian sub. What is your point here, that we sanctioned Iran? While maybe we don’t all wish that there’s bombs falling on people’s heads, at the same time the regime in Iran are far from sweethearts…

      So when is Canada invading America? If not being sweethearts is the requirement.

        Canada’s not really an invader. We don’t invade people, we just want to exist in a world not full of maniacs.

      His point is he’s going to be a smarmy prick about it, and purity test anybody that doesn’t have an absolute opinion on the subject.

        This Canada sub is full of…interesting folks. I blocked it last night, this guy in particular has been posting some pretty unhinged stuff. The ultra left is just as fucking nuts as the ultra right.

      This is a post about Canada is supporting the attack on Iran by the Epstein coalition. Let me know if there’s something else you’re confused about.

        Is it? It doesn’t say “in response to the America-Iran war…”. As the above poster pointed out, sanctions were occurring long before, and are continuing to occur after.

        A war can have two villains. If you’d like to complain that Canada isn’t placing sanctions on the US for things they’ve done, feel free. But that is not the argument you’re making.

          Iran was never a serious threat to the USA and not a threat at all to Canada . The USA was always a real threat to Iran from the day Iranians got rid of the Shah. If sanctions was always about human right abuses Canada would have sanctions on Iran during the Shah. It is pretty clear every single sanction on Iran is because of the usa and israel.

          Any sanctions is reducing Iranians resources to defend itself against the USA and Israel who want to genocide them

          A war can have two villains.

          It is like saying both the European settlers in Canada and First nations was villains because first nations did terrible things to each others during wars

          The argument I’m making is that Canada is aligning with the burger reich genocidal policy, and I guess that’s no surprise given that Canada itself is a colonial apartheid state.

            Canada itself is a colonial apartheid state.

            Was? Colonial settlement was not pretty, and our history is supremely fucked up, so while I dislike the use of apartheid specifically, the essence is there.

            Is? Absolutely not. Fuck off with this propagandist take. You should be embarrassed to be comparing the genuine atrocities of the past/parts of the world with the current state of Canada.

          Buddy’s too busy screaming at clouds. I’m not sure what he’s trying to argue here, but it’s morphing and it’s not rational.
