Canada Regrets Cutting Ties with Iran, Wants Re-engagement
2016-03-31
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Canada’s foreign minister said his country’s 2012 move to cut diplomatic ties with Iran has had no positive consequences whatsoever, expressing articulate willingness for re-engagement with the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

Canada"Canada’s severing of ties with Iran had no positive consequences for anyone: not for Canadians, not for the people of Iran, not for Israel, and not for global security," Stéphane Dion said on Tuesday while addressing an international conference at the University of Ottawa.

The administration of former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper severed diplomatic ties with Iran in September 2012, citing, among other pretexts, what it described as continued threats from Iran to Israel.

#3  This sort of thing is so depressing. Thank heavens that I'm OCD (Old, Cranky and Dangerous) and can just spend my few remaining years enjoying the decline - and that's in any way you wish to take it.

#2  Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal are only a 500 mile drive from NYC.
Something like a 50 mile suborbital miss.
