Kanada „verzichtet“ auf internationales Recht und unterstützt US-Angriffe gegen den Iran, sagen ehemalige Diplomaten

His legendary speech at Davos was basically calling international law a sham at this point, and how Canada must adapt by making hard-nosed decisions, rather than stand purely on principle under the assumption that „great powers“ will play fair. He may be forfeiting moral high ground on purpose as part of that philosophy.

He’s doing the same thing with India. Burying the hatchet on foreign interference and transnational repression in exchange for trade diversification.

If oppressing millions of Iranians is fine under the guise of international law, then international law is a sham

I’m not sure if Carney’s statements was because he is playing a delicate game and is trying to avoid pissing off (and suffering retribution from) the Americans… Or if he is beholden to the same billionaire oligarchs who are pulling Trump’s strings. Carney’s domestic agenda and decreased rights under his crime bill could indicate that, at least to some extent. Or both, to varying degrees.

Dont get me wrong; Carney was the best choice. But it has occasionally felt like a deal with the devil to protect us from international pressures, at the cost of domestic rights.
