Carney is carrying on the same old continentalist tradition of being the Americans' junior partner in the economy and imperialist adventures. Carney is no different from his predecessors. An elbows up Canada must cleave itself from all military alliances, which are falsely labeled as "defence". I harken back to the Waffle days when that group called for an independent, socialist Canada. In other words a Canada based on social justice, equality, and non-violence.
I don't think Carney has the guts to do it. Although he would probably say that behind the scenes diplomacy is more effective. He might even be right about that. But it hurts that he won't condemn what even some (retired) military authorities in the States say amounts to nothing more than mass murder.
Carney won't care about people where that might affect big money deals. However, he might do well to form an alliance with Venezuela to resist invasions that are meant to benefit US tar sand companies. It is just absurd to be fighting over stuff that should be left alone.
I can't see Canada explicitly condemning the wanton killing of sailors, who might or might not be rug runners. We are too deeply enmeshed with US forces, unfortunately. It would be good though if Canadas at least quietly withdrew from operation CARRIBE. And over the long term we need to distance our defense strategy. The Venezuelan target is pute imperialism- US want the heavy crude.
