Survival: By supporting the UAE's absurd claim, Canada pulls the branch it sits on Survival: The history of Abu Musa, Greater Taneb and Little Taneb belongs to Iran, going back thousands of years before the establishment of the Emirates in 1971. How can Canada, which has defended its territorial integrity against American threats and ambitions for more than two centuries, take sides in this bogus conflict? Is territorial integrity only important to Canada when its own sovereignty is at stake? With this position, this country is effectively removing the branch on which it sits.
