Justin Trudeau has today blamed the US 'escalation' in the Middle East for the Iranian shoot-down of a passenger jet in an extraordinary swipe at Donald Trump. Echoing what Iranian officials have said, Trudeau said the dozens of Canadian crash victims would be 'home with their families' but for the tensions started by the US killing of Qassem Soleimani.
The Canadian PM said the international community had to 'manage the tensions in the region that are brought about by US actions'. After initially denying involvement, Iran admitted on Saturday that it had shot down the jet in error just hours after launching missile attacks on US bases in Iraq.
'I think if there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families,' Trudeau said in an interview with Global television. He added that the international community has been 'very, very clear about needing to have a non-nuclear Iran' but also in 'managing the tensions in the region that are brought about by US actions as well.' Iran has made similar statements, blaming its blunder which killed 176 people on 'US adventurism' which left both countries' militaries on high alert.
Tehran had fired a missile barrage at US bases on the night of the crash and mistook the passenger jet for a military plane poised to retaliate. Trump has yet to respond to Trudeau, with whom he has previously clashed. Last month the US president called him 'two-faced' after Trudeau and other leaders were caught on video appearing to ridicule Trump at a NATO summit near London. Trudeau said Canada did not receive a heads up before the United States killed Soleimani, and that he 'obviously' would have preferred one.

Soleimani's attack on our embassy came first.
Didn’t those Canadians get rid of that bum after the blackface thing? Or did they decide that behavior to be acceptable if done by a liberal?
It is certain now
The Canadian government allows violation of the American sanctions on Iran and is in full cover up mode
The Maple Leaf company must destroyed and certainly any sales to the USA prohibited.
Well, Did you expect from Trudeau’s fake outrage. After all, this is the same POS that praises Islam and gives terrorists more rights and beneifits than his own Citizens.
No, Trudeau sent those Canadians to their deaths.
What were all those Canadians doing in Iran ? THAT is the question here.
Trudeau is trying to deflect here.
Does the little wimp understand who he’s dealing with? He’s a small bug on Trump’s windshield. What a joke.
Well, Justin, in a perfect world that might happen. However, there is evil in this world. It is primarily concentrated in one group with one belief system: ISLAM.
Frog prince of Canada. Just STFU you insipid child.
Escalation? Did Justine notice that our embassy in Baghdad was under attack just before the general was taken out? The Iranians escalated, Blackface Boy. Trump retaliated.
Those “Iranian” Canadians would have been safe at home if they wouldn’t have gone to that very dangerous place of their own accord and against most government recommendations. There is a reason there are no direct Toronto-Teheran flights. If you escape Iran to live in a safer country, please do not return. Besides flying into a country that doesn’t follow normal international flight protocols, you may be picked up for no reason at all and proclaimed to be a spy.
they were murdered to coverup the connections
between IRAN’s nuclear threat and Justin Trudeau.
Take off your black face and
take a bow, Justin, for YOUR complicity.
Beard must be giving him gravitas.
What an idiot. Seriously.
Another son of a whore just like Obama.
Soleimani's attack on our embassy came first.That didn't count.
We're supposed to bend over and take it, kinda like the way we've been doing since the end of WW2.
My take on the Canadian deaths is that I actaully put the blame on Iran and the victims themselves. There is a reason I stay out of places like Sudan, Iran, Detroit, etc.
I want to live.
So Trudeau is saying all those now arrested by Iran for violating their defense procedures were wrongly arrested?
They’re all blameless, Trump is the only guilty one?
(Justin is an idiot)
