๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ PM Carney Backs US Strikes on Iran โ€” Did He Go Too Far?

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly supported US military action against Iran this weekend, sparking major debate ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ“Œ What Carney said:
โ€ข Called Iran the "principal source of instability and terror in the Middle East"
โ€ข Said Iran "must never be able to develop a nuclear weapon"
โ€ข Urged all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place

๐Ÿ“Œ The controversy:
โ€ข CBC analysis questions if Carney went too far by offering explicit "support"
โ€ข Previous Canadian PMs were more cautious on US military actions
โ€ข Opposition argues Canada should push for diplomacy, not endorse strikes

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ“ข CANADA'S GROWTH IS NOW 100% DRIVEN BY NEWCOMERS

๐Ÿ”น Natural population increase (births minus deaths) is collapsingโ€”hitting ZERO by 2026 ๐Ÿ“‰
๐Ÿ”น In 2024, Canada added 816,000 residents, while natural growth was a tiny 34,000 ๐Ÿ“Š
