Strange that I don’t see many Canadians pointing out Canada supporting US imperialism yet again.
Is Canada a significant net exporter of oil? If it is then this could make a lot of sense from a domestic perspective in a twist the knife on the global economy for profit kind of way.
MAYBE if they Bombed a SCHOOL Canada would give them HELP instead!
How dare they respond to being attacked! Wtf does Canada expect them to do?
just cuck mentality from Canada, EU, kangaroo land, Japan, … At least EU countries (kinda) refused to help killing people this time I guess

they made some noise about it, but did it anyways.
The funny thing is that even the US has reduced sanctions on Iran
Trump was winning so much the Americans begged him to stopped winning he took a symbolic L
The US has helped Iran develop new income sources like bribes for every ship
Similar to the bribes us and Canada take from ships passing through St. Lawrence Seaway
I don’t think it’s comparable.
What’s the difference then?
The fact that it only leads into Canada and the US? It’s not a passage that is used by other countries for exports or imports. Any ship in it has business with one or the other.
Panama canal, suez canal. They all take bribes.
Both of those were built and aren’t on a border of a country but fully inside one. Not that I agree how the Panama canal is handled or was built, mind you.
A better comparison would be the gilbraltar straight, which obviously no one owns.
To be clear, I would be doing the same if I was Iran but it is worrisome. Furthermore, Trump deserves what’s happening but not because of some hypocrisy linked to the St. Lawrence specifically.
The energy is right but the comparison isn’t imo, that’s all.
Otherwise known as a toll or a tax for passage
Iran isn’t so much defending itself, as it is establishing consequences for the West by bombing everyone they can in the region (while still holding back to some extent).
So, defending itself
You missed aj important point, they are only bombing US bases. Not random places in these countries.
That’s just defending itself.
thanks for pointing that out, it’s really crazy this reverse newspeak when they tell you the definition for a verb to deny it
damn who would think the consequences for their actions would be retaliation???
It’s not against Iran as a country, it’s targeted against individual businesses.
But I suppose that doesn’t sound as clickbaity
Businesses aren’t neutral. German industry was decimated during WW2 because they were essential to Germany’s ability to conduct war. This is no different.
Business that are “involved in the procurement networks that produce and supply sophisticated technology supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC’s) weapons production and transfers”. In other words, businesses necessary for Iran to defend itself like any country.
Add to that from the quick facts at the bottom: “designating Iran as a foreign state supporter of terrorism under the State Immunity Act; the Government of Canada reconfirmed this designation in December 2025”…,are they designating the US or Israel too? Because both have a proven track record.
