While several European leaders, the UN, and progressive politicians condemned or hesitated over the strikes, Canada backed the United States. That mattered because Iran is not just another Middle East actor. It is the regime behind the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, attacks on Israel, threats to the West, and years of repression against its own people. Topics include: • Mark Carney and Canada’s response to Iran • U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran • The IRGC and Iran’s terror network • Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis • Iran’s nuclear threat • Progressive hypocrisy on Iran • Europe, the UN, and moral equivalence • Canada, the United States, and security alliances • Israel’s role in confronting Iran • Media bias Middle East narratives • Antisemitism explained through selective outrage This episode argues that Canada’s clarity matters. When a regime funds terrorism, threatens Israel, brutalizes its own people, and pursues nuclear weapons, neutrality is not moral courage. Sometimes clarity means choosing the side that confronts evil.
