Strange that I don't see many Canadians pointing out Canada supporting US imperialism yet again.
Canada and the US aren’t just allies, we’re tightly integrated militarily.
It may look like two separate countries on the political stage, but behind the scenes we operate together. When Canadian personnel are already embedded in command structures in the region, it’s not realistic to expect Canada to fully denounce the conflict
Oh we already know.
The OP is pointing out the hypocrisy. We know you fuckwits love sharing war crimes together, but then position yourselves as "polite" with online propaganda.
It's only getting more evident to the international audience every passing day.
Keep it up tho. The world needs to see through the artificial facade you put up. 👌
... What artificial facade? Canada has a history as a country of brutal soldiers. For us the Geneva Convention is more of a checklist. We're very polite: Surrendering Germans got a bullet to the head as a thank you.
We had such a bad reputation the government shut down the Canadian Airborne Regiment (Our equivalent of the Marines) and pivoted us into a peacekeeping role to change perceptions.
We have upcoming trade renegotiations, and pissing off the orange turd before they start just isn't in the cards. We'll support international efforts in a way that doesn't piss off our brother to the south.
While I certainly don't agree with decisions, it's always interesting to see people mix up "polite" with "not absolutely brutal".
They clearly haven't studied the history of the Canadian Corp in WWI. All that (illegal now) ferocity is behind the scenes now, as it should be, but being polite and being a capable war machine are two very different things.
