It's not against Iran as a country, it's targeted against individual businesses.

https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2026/03/minister-anand-announces-additional-sanctions-against-iran.html

But I suppose that doesn't sound as clickbaity

Business that are "involved in the procurement networks that produce and supply sophisticated technology supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC’s) weapons production and transfers". In other words, businesses necessary for Iran to defend itself like any country.

Add to that from the quick facts at the bottom: "designating Iran as a foreign state supporter of terrorism under the State Immunity Act; the Government of Canada reconfirmed this designation in December 2025"..,are they designating the US or Israel too? Because both have a proven track record.

MAYBE if they Bombed a SCHOOL Canada would give them HELP instead!

Similar to the bribes us and Canada take from ships passing through St. Lawrence Seaway

You missed aj important point, they are only bombing US bases. Not random places in these countries.

I don't think it's comparable.

At least EU countries (kinda) refused to help killing people this time I guess

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

What's the difference then?

The fact that it only leads into Canada and the US? It's not a passage that is used by other countries for exports or imports. Any ship in it has business with one or the other.

Panama canal, suez canal. They all take bribes.

Otherwise known as a toll or a tax for passage

So, defending itself

So it's a toll when the US does it but a bribe when Iran does it

Both of those were built and aren't on a border of a country but fully inside one. Not that I agree how the Panama canal is handled or was built, mind you.

A better comparison would be the gilbraltar straight, which obviously no one owns.

To be clear, I would be doing the same if I was Iran but it is worrisome. Furthermore, Trump deserves what's happening but not because of some hypocrisy linked to the St. Lawrence specifically.

The energy is right but the comparison isn't imo, that's all.

Businesses aren't neutral. German industry was decimated during WW2 because they were essential to Germany's ability to conduct war. This is no different.

Strange that I don't see many Canadians pointing out Canada supporting US imperialism yet again.

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.

They export a lot. A huge portion of it comes from tar sand deposits.

Luxury hotels where US soldiers are hiding.

Fossil fuel facilities are military targets because why else would the US bomb Iranian oil fields?

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

Without reason, especially since it isn't reciprocal from the US.

Exporter of heavy crude, not the same kind produced around the gulf.

Wtf does Canada expect them to do?

Yield on everything and do as God Emperor Trump commands, just as Canada does.

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.

It is though: We have about 150 currently in Canada. 69 members of the U.S. air force (Because NORAD), 36 from the navy, 29 from the army, 15 from the Marine Corps, four from the Coast Guard and three from Space Force.

It is though

We do help them militarily, and in return, the US rhetorically does not consider Canada as a sovereign country. So really, there's no good reason to keep up that alliance, aside from masochism.

IRGC isn't for defending Iran, it's for killing the population that don't agree with the Government.

Iranian 'ICE' if you will.

I don't think scantions work.

With as many participants as there are in the global economy it makes sense: the sanctioned country can easily change suppliers and not have to change policy.

Prior to the war in Iran, the US had sanctions on Iranian goods, especially oil. Iran has been selling mostly to China. Crude oil is about 56% of Iran's exports.

The point is, Iran still sells crude oil and makes revenue.

(I'm not defending Trump, he scrapped the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and (re)imposed sanctions on Iran.)

Does it hurt to be this much of a rube

I don’t think scantions work.

They certainly never achieve the intended objective, that is, change the system and government to US compradors, but they do work greatly in causing horrible humanitary effects. That's about US sanctions, who up till recently basically controlled global financial system, and also like to bomb, invade, sabotage and incite riots in sanctioned countries to make things worse. For sanctions like Canadian, they aren't very impactful, more of a political statement.

Oh we already know.

The OP is pointing out the hypocrisy. We know you fuckwits love sharing war crimes together, but then position yourselves as "polite" with online propaganda.

It's only getting more evident to the international audience every passing day.

Keep it up tho. The world needs to see through the artificial facade you put up. 👌

Wonder if Canada realised that they barely trade with Iran, if at all, and decided it would just be better to seem to appease their nearest neighbour without actually having done anything at all

Except states have voting rights and representation.

Oh no. Please, someone stop them.

Yea and blocking the straight of Hormuz for ransom all the whole food production is gonna crash leading to food shortages all over the world. Both parties can be bad.

What where those canucks doing?

The axis and the allies were both bad because they both hurt people.

Please be serious.

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.

Fuck nationalism. Who cares what nation we're from, we are all human, and innocent humans are suffering, Canada is causing MORE SUFFERING through sanctions. Stop supporting this bullshit.

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.
