After his Davos speech, I expected a bit better. Instead, he decided to put the sign in the window:

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Carney had prefaced that endorsement with a description of Iran as “the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, [with] the world’s worst human rights records.” He added: “[Iran] must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.”

If Carney were a better politician, he would have said “I don’t have a position yet - we don’t know the specifics of what is happening.”
