“What we’re hearing right now, at a time when it really matters, is … that we’re giving in,” Neve said. “We’re not prepared to be that bold leader in that ‘middle power’ space. Instead, we are capitulating to the ‘might is right’ world that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are intent on forging.”

    Did you read the quote? Because it shows that your first reply, where you said

    Canada is withdrawing troops that were already stationed in the region when the Americans attacked.

    was misrepresenting the actual situation. In fact, the article you linked also said that

    Six others are being deployed abroad to act as liaison officers in the event that the military is asked to assist in civilian evacuations in the region

    which is quite different from what you said:

    A few are remaining in place specifically to provide assistance with further evacuations if needed.

    Anyway as for the other quote

    "About 200 members of the Canadian Armed Forces are deployed in the Middle East on six different operations, but some are being moved to other areas or brought back to Canada as a result of the outbreak of war in the region.”

    the implication of the word “some”, in this context, is that “most” of the troops that were already there will remain there. And there are discussions happening in a few hours about whether to send more. Are you deliberately trying to misrepresent the situation?

      You are trying really really really hard to find every possible little way to interpret this situation as “Fuck Carney” fodder. Accusing me of “deliberately trying to misinterpret the situation” is rich.
