Barack Obama's former ambassador to Canada says U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to order the killing of a top Iranian general represents the latest instance of the mercurial U.S. president throwing allies such as Canada under buses.

Ex-envoy Bruce Heyman says the killing of Iranian Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. drone near Baghdad's airport last week elevates that disregard of American allies to a new level.

Iraq is ordering all international troops out of the country because it views the American attack on its soil as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. Heyman, a Democrat, has been a fierce critic of Trump, and has emerged as a vocal booster of Canada-U.S. relations during the Republican president's rocky term in office.

Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne appeared to be doing just that on Monday, with a series of phone calls with his Iraqi and Jordanian counterparts.

Frump is the most corrosive destructive idiot to ever be voted in as president of the arrogant United States. Canada is a far better country to live in, and that’s a fact Jack!

Trump. You started this. You have no idea what is going on in the real world. I am surprised no middle east country has not tried to take you out. You are the laughing laughter stock of the WORLD

Why would you say that

Wrong. He did the world a favour. Time to step up against the BS from Iran government. Iran will eventually submit. Peace through strength will prevail.

We are okay with that Trump can take credit for his own actions , leave Canada out of it is fine by us , no one wants trumps drama .

What you call a general is nothing more than a tyrant, a killer, a TERRORIST!

Are we sending row boats?

I bet some of these allies would have warned the Iranians if trump let them know

“The Liberal party believes that terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship BECAUSE I DO, and I’m willing to take on anyone who disagrees with that.” -Justin Trudeau Winnipeg 2015 Do you actually blame the Americans? I don’t.

Omg no shit really ? 😮 let’s all pretend to be surprised shall we ?

Canada does not and should not have to be consulted in the US’s decision regarding their actions.

Had they informed our wonderful government, Trudeau and his Middle East supporting lackeys would have revealed it, preventing it from happening. Trudeau has made us a laughing stock and no one trusts us anymore.

Sure, if your name is Putin or you partied with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on New Years Eve you would have known about Trump's impending strike. NATO allies or the Gang of 8 need not be bothered. DJT is such a childish a$$hole

Canada deserves to be disregarded, tbh.

Nobody gives a f-ck CTV Tell that little terrorist loving f-ck BarackObama his opinion means sh-t. The worst most corrupt so called president in history that is why POTUS is president he does not negotiate with terrorists

Iranian terrorist

Surprise thanks to the continual backstabbing and maligned activities of a dysfunctional PM and Cabinet!

When has he ever ? Let alone other US presidents ? Like Pierre Trudeau once said 'living next to the USA is akin to a mouse sleeping next to an elephant'.

Yeah so Trudeau can tell his brother

Gee I wonder why.

Canada doesn't want any part of this whole mess Trump got into. Let's leave Canada out of this.

He had a good reason for it humm was it oil we dont need it we have lots

Trump is right! With such a secret mission, why should they let anyone know except a few! The person making such a comment has no brain?

When are the Democrats going to move on impeachment and get this madmen out of the Whitehouse. Everyone knows he started the crisis in Iran to take the media off of his pending impeachment.

Imagine that! Trump doing something behind Trudeaus’ back! Oohh, You guys have a short memory.

Dont know of any country that will back up the US, so far everyone is saying they stand alone, sad day for the people.

The US has the organized economic and military power base, the allies are rather weak and indecisive. One high ranking evil (research this mans history) opportunist terrorist with fat off shore bank accounts has been neutralized.

CTV pretending anyone cares a whiff what blackface Trudeau thinks.

Trump is in charge of Canada now... Oh, and your fired!!

It’s all good, continue.. Canada wants no part of this.

Gee I wonder why?

What is the surprise here? Captain clueless himself has no idea what and where and how he is going to do today. Skip the analysis of this idiot.

supports the attacking of consulates. The murdering of hundreds of unarmed protestors. The slaughtering of Jews worldwide. The hanging of LGBTQ community members. The US should have just put up with it I guess.

To call Trump an ally isn't worth Canadian lives. Iraq wants Canada to leave. That sounds to me like all the time, money and blood we spent there amounted to very little thanks to Trump's actions. Some ally.

Why would he even call Trudeau? Trudeau calls him names and mocks him all the time.

So CTV wants a big long list of pre-approved terrorists that are open for elimination? really

Germany said that to was justified. Only a corrupt Canadian media would make a negative out of killing a terrorist. CTV, you should be shut down.

No, he is simply doing what Obama did before him, eliminating terror threats unilaterally. Why CTV is it OK for Obama to do and not Trump You’re blind hatred of him is making you bias in manufacturing your spin (as usual).

Bruce Heyman is NOT in the WH or in Trumps inner circle he's a has been not worthy to be used as a source

Canada has Iranian Nationals inside our government. The PM's brother works for Iran, making propaganda films. Why would USA trust us?

Why would he care about Canada?

and he wonders why world leaders laugh at him.

Who cares about this nobodys opinion. Heyman should just shut up

When the shit hits the fan. He will have no one.

Why would he take advice from blackface

'Barack Obama's former ambassador...' Sounds legit. Probably not biased at all.

, displaying more symptoms of TDS .

Of course he'll disregard Trudeau. I don't think a single world leader takes Trudeau seriously.

Trump couldn't take chances on informing rats!!!

It's terrible that We CANADIANS are 'concistantantly' emmbarest by 'Fidel's', favorit, 'Bastard Son'! Beastiality, 'Child Hormone'-Treatment's , and the 'Giving Away' of Right's the 'Matee's' of My Mother's Family and the 'First-Nation's' have been dying for since 'Occupation' !

Trudeau and his Liberal govt are irrelevant on the world stage. Just like CTV News is irrelevant when it comes to reporting REAL news.

No, but Trump DID warn Iran a number of times beforehand. I am sure they have a much more clear understanding of how the POTUS will treat people that attack US interests.

Trudeau has not missed an opportunity to sneer at president Trump. No surprise here

We are ok with that. Continue with your fine work for USA

What about Canada is Trump supposed to be paying attention to at present ?

I’m sure Canada is fine with this, keeps their hands clean, while Trump does the “dirty” work. itsallgood

Why would Trump tell Trudeau anything?

There was nobody home to call. Trudeau was in Costa Rico escaping his responsibility.

Wake up, Canada. tRUMP's America is NOT your ally.

Pompeo needs to stop saying that he wished the allies were doing more. This is your doing. You own this. You own him.
