When a country endorses something like US/Israel illegally starting a war with Iran, as Canada just has, they own a piece of it, whatever the outcome ends up being. And the worst part is we have absolutely no control over that outcome. We just signed onto it anyway.

In response to the attack on Iran, House Democrats plan a zoom meeting for tomorrow night.

Israel and US: destabilizes the Middle East

Canada: why would Iran do this?

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Thank you for this: the number is very much in line with what we anticipated.
