Though Canada's approach to Iran has been 'well-aligned' with the United States for many years, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has been reluctant to condemn any suspected violations of international law by President Donald Trump, note foreign policy experts.
The Western world has always approached international law this way. It’s why the rest of the world usually rolls its eyes when they start to get preachy about it. The contrast between Carneys speech in Davos and now is just more blatant than usual. The rules for thee but not for me doublethink has always been there.
