Secretary Antony J. Blinken And Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly At a Joint Press Availability - United States Department of State

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : We deeply appreciate Canada's leadership in launching the UN Basket Fund to improve citizen security and strengthen law enforcement in Haiti - an effort the United States is proud to support.
60% : Today we have done just that, in coordination with the European Union, and Canada is taking similar steps as well.
55% : One way to do that is through the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides more than $368 billion for clean energy technologies like electric vehicles and battery components that are manufactured in North America.
52% : When it comes to the rhetoric we've heard from President Putin on nuclear weapons, you heard us speak to this very directly at the United Nations this week.
51% : We've engaged with the European Union and established months ago a task force to work directly with Europe on ways to decrease demand to help get through the winter, as well as to pursue additional supply and to find ways to speed up the transition to renewables even as we're getting through this challenging period.
51% : When it comes to Finland, and Sweden - as you know, these countries were both very long-time NATO partners that, in many ways, have been de facto allies for a long, long time, working in very close coordination with NATO, having very advanced militaries that are fully interoperable already with NATO, with equipment that is also fully compatible with what NATO countries have, and of course, strong democracies that have been partners as part of the European Union and with us for many, many, many years.
45% : Mr. Secretary, Amnesty International says that collective action - it's the quote - "collective action by the international community [that goes] beyond...statements of condemnation," end quote, is needed to halt the violent suppression of protests in Iran.
44% : We'll continue to look for ways to support those who are engaging in expressing themselves peacefully in Iran as well as taking actions against those who are responsible for the most repressive human rights violations that one can imagine.
44% : With regard to the rocket attacks that took place, first and foremost, this was an assault on Iraqi sovereignty, which we've seen again and again coming from Iran.
43% : I'm going to begin with a question on Iran and then turn to Ukraine.
37% : Canada will sanction the so-called morality police and its leadership, and Canada will hold Iran accountable for its crime.
36% : Courageous women across Iran are currently in the streets protesting the tragic killing of Mahsa Amini.
34% : First, on Iran, starting with the protests, the simple truth is this: Mahsa Amini should be alive right now, and her death in and of itself is a profound affront to human rights in Iran and, for that matter, everywhere.
34% : You've of course seen international condemnation of Iran's actions, including from the Iraqi Government itself, and we've always been clear that Iran cannot and will not act with impunity.
33% : So on Iran, of course, Canada is standing up with these strong woman of Iran that are peacefully protesting in the streets of Tehran and across the territory.
