@TheresaReason @NMBA It’s easy too talk tough when you don’t have any skin in the game. Spain is not under threat. Canada is already suffering economic war at the hands of the Americans, MAGAts are infecting our political discourse with their insidious & dangerous talking points, and the American President is publicly discussing annexing Canada. Diplomacy is a requirement, not “weakness”.

With Canada in America’s crosshairs next & large Iranian & middle eastern populations in Canada, I can see why he needs to watch his words. Of course, it’s disappointing that he can’t take a more hardline approach but let’s face it Canada is already paying a high price for Carney’s confrontations with Trump and is largely doing so without any support from their larger allies. He has to pick his fights. (2/2)

@TheresaReason @NMBA I think Carney is walking a bit off a tightrope with his wording here. What he actually said was that “Canada supports regime change in Iran”, what he didn’t say was that Canada supports the particular method that the USA was going about it. Canada isn’t supporting the USA/Israel action in any meaningful way, so this is just diplomats being diplomatic. (1/2)

@CiaraNi At any moment in time, there are horrible things happening somewhere in the world. But there are also beautiful, inspiring things happening in every moment too. To stop spreading the beautiful would be to concede to the horrible. Don’t do that, and don’t criticize those spreading joy, beauty, and hopefulness either.
