Standing in front of all Canadian parliamentarians, Carney announced that Canada will no longer play with the US! The现场 was filled with applause.
This incident would have been hard to believe a few years ago. In the Ottawa parliamentary hall, facing a full house of parliamentarians, Mark Carney actually openly stated: Canada will not get involved in any military actions by the US and Israel against Iran. As soon as he finished speaking, the applause was so intense it seemed like it would lift the roof off.
For decades, Canada has basically been a "good student" in foreign affairs for the US. Whether in Afghanistan or Iraq, whenever the US gave the call, Canada would follow even if it had reservations. During the later years of Trudeau's administration, although he tried to take a "middle path", he never dared to step beyond the boundaries on issues of military alliances.
Carney's speech in the parliament was very specific. He didn't use ambiguous diplomatic language but directly drew a red line: Canada will not provide logistical support, will not open its airspace for offensive strikes, and will not send a single soldier to participate in any military action against Iran.
Dogge thinks this applause is not just for Carney personally, but also an outlet for a long-suppressed emotion. The Canadian public has long had grievances with the US's recent foreign policies. That thunderous applause might be the starting gun for a new era in Canadian diplomacy. It's unknown whether Europe will follow, but at least Spain has already come out publicly.
