I am sure he was, what’s odd is that all these wonderful people came from the most violent, racist, backward hateful, intolerant country on earth, make a person wonder
It is reckless criminal negligence. Pure and simple. No excuse.
So so sad
It's sad to see our PM once again unable to take a firm strong stand. He has to play partisan politics and do the liberal media game of giving half of the blame of this tragedy to Trump. It's an Iranian missile that hit the plane. Iran is completely responsible. End of story
This was a sad event that will affect generations, and all due to an escalation between the USA and Iran.
I don’t remember Canada being outraged when 37 Australian lives were lost, along with hundred of others, when MH37 was shot down over Ukraine in 2014? 🙄
