Unlike our own current leadership, the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre was forthright in his support for an Israeli attack on Iran, insisting that for Israel to prevent the “genocidal” Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons “would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
At a press briefing he held outside Canada’s House of Commons on September 8, Poilievre said, “I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship, that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people, to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow.”
And the former National Security Adviser in the Trump Administration, General H. R. McMaster, has gone even further than Pierre Poilievre. He thinks the Americans should not rely on Israel to do all the heavy lifting against Tehran, but should themselves consider launching their own strikes to destroy Iran’s key military programs, including its nuclear program.
