Footage of a Washington, DC demonstration that I saw earlier on CNN has shown up on CBC. I have not seen any calls for demonstrations in Canada. Some Iranians here have publicly supported the killing of Soleimani, but others are urging restraint. Below is an opinion piece in The Globe and Mail. I would place the writer somewhat on the right of the political spectrum in Canada. ken h Trudeau’s handling of the Iran crisis could define his second term https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-trudeaus-handling-of-the-iran-crisis-could-define-his-second-term/ <https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-trudeaus-handling-of-the-iran-crisis-could-define-his-second-term/> This country’s best hope lies in working with European and Asian allies, including Japan, to forge a coherent response that provokes neither the Americans nor the Iranians. But that may prove impossible.
