$1.84/L = $7.16 per gallon ($5.14 USD). On behalf of Canada, just wanna say: great job Donald Trump, you fucking piece of shit.

"Canadian Armed Forces were attacked on March 1, 2026, in Kuwait" — James Bezan The recent Iranian missile strike on the Ali Al-Salem Air Base provides a clear example of the complexities of modern Middle Eastern logistics. To understand the situation, we must look at the facts behind the headlines so you can judge by yourself. The Timeline of Conflict 👉 The regional situation changed on February 28, 2026. The United States and Israel launched a massive offensive against Iran. This operation began without a United Nations mandate and without prior consultation with international partners like Canada. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney responded by immediately ruling out any Canadian participation in the offensive. Canada remains focused on logistics and regional stability. The Reality of Ali Al-Salem 👉The facility is often described as a Canadian base, but this description is inaccurate. Sovereign Ownership 👉 The Ali Al-Salem Air Base is a facility owned and operated by the Government of Kuwait. A Major U.S. Hub 👉 This base is a primary operations center for the United States Air Force. Because the U.S. uses this site to support its regional missions, the base is a high-priority target for retaliation. The Canadian Presence 👉 Canada operates a small section called Camp Canada. This is an Operational Support Hub (OSH). Its only purpose is the logistics of moving equipment and personnel. Targets and Transparency 👇 On March 1, Iran launched retaliatory strikes against bases hosting U.S. and allied forces. One missile impacted the Canadian logistical area. The reality is simple: if you are stationed near U.S. or Israeli assets in the Middle East right now, you are a target due to the law of action and reaction. The Conservative Party @CPC_HQ is currently using this event to attack the government for a lack of transparency. Their approach is irresponsible in a high-stakes military environment. These critics seem to prefer a path that leads to war. The truth is that the 11-day delay in reporting was a calculated decision for force protection. The military used that time to ensure all personnel reached protective bunkers and to relocate troops to more secure positions before going public. Military intelligence is a matter of life and death. It is not a daily gossip magazine, and the @CPC_HQ knows this well. The news is public now precisely because the immediate danger has been managed. If this were a secret, we would not be discussing it today. The government prioritized the lives of the troops over the demands of a news cycle. Every Canadian member at the base is sain et sauf (safe and sound). This safety is the only outcome that truly matters. One might expect the opposition to lead with "thankfully our troops are safe," but they seem more interested in the rage-baiting. ******** Sources Global Affairs Canada: Official statement on Canada’s non-participation in the US-Israel offensive (March 2, 2026). 👉 DND Briefing Department of National Defence (DND): Briefing on the safety of CAF personnel and the success of bunker protocols (March 12, 2026).
