Poilievre Accuses PM Carney of ‘Trying to Pander in All Directions’ with Iran Conflict Response
Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada supports halting Iran's nuclear ambitions and terrorism but will not engage in U.S. and Israeli military actions, reaffirming adherence to international law.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney told MPs in the House of Commons that Canada is not involved in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and 'will never participate in it', making a late schedule change to attend Question Period for nearly an hour.
- Because he missed Monday's debate, MPs sought an explanation as opposition leaders including Pierre Poilievre and Yves‑François Blanchet pressed Carney over his absence and inconsistent approach.
- Carney invoked international law when outlining Canada’s position, citing talks with G7 leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump and a call with Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
- By Tuesday afternoon opposition interest had waned, with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Defence Minister David McGuinty handling Monday's debate in Carney's absence.
- With limited time before further travel, diplomatic coordination took on urgency as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to leave for Yellowknife and Norway on Thursday and said G7 leaders will seek a common stance on de-escalation.
