Sanctions are never used righteously, that was just propaganda to get you to swallow them. They have ALWAYS been used to benefit the ruling class and the foreign policy goals of the American Empire.

How dare they respond to being attacked! Wtf does Canada expect them to do?
just cuck mentality from Canada, EU, kangaroo land, Japan, .. At least EU countries (kinda) refused to help killing people this time I guess
For no other reason than that they fear economic repercussions from Iran and that they're cowards.
If Iran were some defenseless country they could bomb from a distance they would've been there from day 1.

they made some noise about it, but did it anyways.

Yield on everything and do as God Emperor Trump commands, just as Canada does.
MAYBE if they Bombed a SCHOOL Canada would give them HELP instead!
Strange that I don't see many Canadians pointing out Canada supporting US imperialism yet again.
Canada and the US aren’t just allies, we’re tightly integrated militarily.
It may look like two separate countries on the political stage, but behind the scenes we operate together. When Canadian personnel are already embedded in command structures in the region, it’s not realistic to expect Canada to fully denounce the conflict

Yes, people forget Canada can still diplomatically oppose the war and push for internationally backed de-escalation without condoning the Iranian regime.
While I feel a lot of contempt and opposition to US imperialism, they've pulled the trigger and there's no going back to how things were. Between expanding Iran-backed militias, international sanctions, and the conflicting goals on nuclear weapons, the status quo before the war was also becoming less tenable long term. And now there's the question of how to stop this war without leaving a wounded and even more dangerous regime unchecked.
When we said that the rules based order was not coming back, we meant that we were personally going to bring it down by supporting wars of aggression.

Trump was winning so much the Americans begged him to stopped winning he took a symbolic L
The US has helped Iran develop new income sources like bribes for every ship

Is Canada a significant net exporter of oil? If it is then this could make a lot of sense from a domestic perspective in a twist the knife on the global economy for profit kind of way.
Exporter of heavy crude, not the same kind produced around the gulf.
They export a lot. A huge portion of it comes from tar sand deposits.
