This to every Canadian asking Prime Minister Carney to not ask for deescalation and negotiation but to chest thump.

We all want peace.

There are only certain roads Canada can take safely and effectively.
1. We sanction the US - not remotely bringing peace but definitely endangering 🇨🇦 in every way
2. We enter the war on behalf of Iran? Ridiculous, insane, thinking
3. We align 🇨🇦 with a rogues gallery of Iran, Russia, North Korea, China, etc? Are you kidding me with this?

What Poilievre wants to destroy is unity in Canada. Us vs them, nothing inbetween. Poilievre fails to understand that most of us don’t want to spend our lives angry, thinking that a good % of Canadians are against us. That paranoia is not healthy, it tears a country apart. Look at the USA #NeverPP
