Canada Re-Labels Syria 'Less Terrorist' After Decades of Western-Backed Chaos
The official line is that Syria is now working towards stability. A convenient narrative, given that Western powers, including Canada's ally the U.S., played a significant role in fueling the very 'terrorism' they now claim has subsided. Recall the covert funding and arming of various opposition groups (some later designated terrorist by the U.S. itself) and the decade-long push for regime change.
The "stability" Canada speaks of now looks remarkably like the Assad government simply outlasting foreign-backed insurgencies, not necessarily a change in its own character. This isn't a sudden Syrian transformation; it's a recalibration of Western policy after their regime-change project failed, leaving a trail of destruction. It appears decades of sanctions, proxy wars, and direct intervention,
which created the very chaos Canada now applauds Syria for 'advancing stability' from, are conveniently forgotten. Perhaps the 'terrorist' label was less about Syria's actions and more about justifying external interference. How many countries will be destabilized before the West runs out of convenient labels?
