PM Carney says he’s seen tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal, calls conflict ‘worth it’

Money's still money, and bankers gotta bank. Like George Carlin observed about all politicians: "They don't give a fuck about you"
“Lots needs to happen,” Carney later added. “We all have to support (the deal). But moving to this position, where that’s been taken off the table. Yes, that’s worth it.”
Maybe my English comprehension is not that great, but doesn't this mean the deal is worth it, not the conflict?
I confused.
I think that, you know, the number one risk. I answered this question three years ago or so at Davos. And I was asked what's the number one risk in the global economy? And I said Iran and it was at a time when people were not focused on Iran because I've always believed that it's the biggest exporter of terror. It was hell-bent, sorry if I can say that on getting a nuclear weapon, uh, and the force multiplier on that. Of course was terrible. And so going and getting to a position where Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon. Look, I'm not naive about this, the reintegration of Iran. This is a regime that needs to learn to be civilized, needs to behave. That's why you have performance measures. Lots needs to happen. We all have to support it, but moving to this position where that's been taken off the table was worth it.
Adding the rest of his statement makes it clear. It's also consistent with his initial reaction to the news about the war that got swept under the rug after the uproar from the public. What's more, considering Iran to be the number one risk in the world because it's "the biggest exporter of terror" is straight up hasbara. Calls into question his judgement.
He's saying that in his opinion this deal will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and so the conflict was worth it. Which presupposes the American position that Iran was seeking nuclear weapons, was close to getting them, and that this war was about stopping that. Which you would have to be a dimwit to do.
I think others are confused.
It only cost at least 168 school girls. What a fuckin dick head
I fucking hate this asshole.
I really hope this hatred gets the country to vote orange!
But not like the US did
PP would be worse
People are too scared of a Maple MAGA regime. So they vote for the lesser evil. Still evil though.
Clickbait title deforming what he actually said.
What a truly awful statement.
CTV is shit.
It's not my favourite news outlet, but he's on video saying what he said. They aren't twisting his words.
