Canada opinion echo - In Trump's face about Iran

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editors/2019/05/22/canada-should-reopen-its-embassy-in-iran.html

Canada should reopen its embassy in IranCanada has zero interest in war with Iran, echo opinion, May 21, 2019 in The Star, published in Toronto.

Indeed Canada has no interest in a U.S.-led war with Iran. Moreover, Canada can take the following steps to begin a rapprochement with Iran and act as a peace-broker.

First, Canada can reopen the embassy in Iran that Stephen Harper closed. It’s exactly at times like this when Canada needs an embassy in Iran to help mediate between nations on the brink of war.

Second, Canada should join Iran in calling for an immediate end to the relentless bombing of Yemen and end its $15-billion arms arrangement with Saudi Arabia. 

Third, Canada should engage in commerce with Iran in contrast to the policy of economic strangulation favoured by the U.S. Donald Trump administration, which does not work and is only causing unnecessary suffering. 

Canada can prevent war by partnering with Iran to advance peace.

MaineWriter- In other words, the echo opinion describes the incompetent Donald Trump, a failure at international diplomacy. Canada can say "in your face, tRump!"
