* A new survey from Canada Pulse Insights for CityNews found that 84% of Canadians were concerned the conflict centred on the Strait of Hormuz could spread into a wider Middle East War.
* 80% were concerned that any Canadian military involvement could put personnel in harm’s way. However, over 70 per cent were prepared to accept some type of military role for Canada to play in the war
* The poll found that 37% of those 70 per cent would accept a military role if the mission was backed by a broad coalition of allies. Just over one-third would support a military role if there is a clear United Nations Mandate, 32% said if Canadian forces are guaranteed a non-combat role.
* Only 15% said Canada should be willing to take part even without a UN or broad coalition mandate if key allies ask.

Oh sure, we’ll go help our neighbours again. Especially after how nice Fox RedEye was to our troops in the last war those morons started. And how could we forget their orange leader bullying the shit out of us with tariffs.
Zero reason to go fight their fuckin war

No reason for Canada to get into this war. Was a fueled major Trump Epstein distraction caused by an American wanna be dictator. Rest of nato and our allies are staying far away and so should we.

Besides potentially assisting Turkey in their defence, we shouldn’t ever touch this
Edit: defence against Iranian attacks

No Canadian blood or treasure should be shed nor spend in this war. The Americans have made it perfectly clear they don’t need anything from Canada so that should continue to the use of the Canadian military. This has the makings of a modern Vietnam. If my opinion is wrong please inform me nicely why it is.

Yeah how about we negotiate instead of fighting a war we didn’t ask for.

Thankfully Trump has already said that he doesn’t need anything from Canada…

USS Gerald ford is battling a constant stream of incidents within the ship from „“mysterious““ laundry fires, floods, machine failures etc. Expect to hear the same or worst when Canadian warships move near that region. No one in the CAF is willing to die for diddlers.

Why we would help an unhinged madman in his fantasy war

We don’t have enough military to become involved in the Iran war. Possibly some of our SF but that would be about it.

I’m willing to bet money that by summer we will have at least one patrol frigate in the region escorting cargo and tankers through the Strait. Further, it will be attached to a European flotilla and not the US or NATO.
We don’t have a tanker to contribute (MV Asterix is not cleared for combat zones) and our minesweepers are obsolete.

With what? Basically the entire usable military that Canada has is in fucking Latvia.
