“"Prime Minister Carney used the term 'war.' It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics," Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”

It might be because people in Geneva get nervous when Canadians get into a war.

It's only a war when it's against a concept that can't actually fight back, like terror or drugs. And they still lose.
