Prime Minister Mark Carney backed U.S. air strikes on Iran, saying Tehran is the main source of instability in the Middle East and must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

“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,” the Prime Minister said in a joint statement with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand Saturday from Canada’s trade mission to India.

I do not support any military action by the sitting US president at this time. They have extensively outlined a plan to use war as a means to dismantle democracy.

So even if I agreed with the need for intervention, which I don't, the president's office cannot be held accountable to spearhead that action.
