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.
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.
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
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.
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.
The Canadian governments are constantly trying or doing breaches of first nations sovereignty
No, not was, it is an apartheid state today occupying unceded indigenous land. Don't pretend it's history. And not only is Canadian state committing crimes against native people here, but Canadian mining companies engage in literal slavery in Africa. https://theconversation.com/slavery-charges-against-canadian-mining-company-settled-on-the-sly-148605
You're either an utter ignoramus or spreading propaganda here intentionally. Either way, kindly take your own advice there and fuck off with your colonizer apologia.
