Yeah, there’s no chance that Canada can “fight the cause”. The only way to do so would be to declare war on Israel, and therefore the US, which would very quickly result in us no longer being able to even think about the symptoms we were previously trying to treat.
There’s absolutely zero fucking chance Canada gets involved on the side of Iran. Even without the fallout from the US, the Canadian public would be justifiably livid.
You might be suicidal, but the vast majority of the country isn’t. And even if the US wouldn’t just curb stomp us, I (and a lot of other Canadians ) would be furious with our government supporting any theocratic government. And yes, I do include the current Israeli government in that statement.

Being dead is a downside. Being taken over by the US is a downside. Wasting any and all global influence we may have had on a completely pointless flameout is a massive fucking downside.

Given our commitment to standing up for middle powers, it does make sense that we’d get involved in the war on the side of Iran/Lebanon.

Better than being on the US side.

I wasn’t the Canadian leader who said we need to unite middle powers to fight super powers when they get picked on.

We’re not helping our ally Cuba either.
We’ve had 80 years of diplomatic relations, but i wouldn’t call Cuba an ally. We’ve never had any formal military ties.
Declare war, Expend more USA resources, further pulling it apart, be remembered as a nation who stood for justice, and with a valiant population.
