Carney didn't "clap for the attack on Venezuela." He called for international law to be followed, which should be an obvious rebuke to anyone who isn't at a Trump level of understanding of how diplomacy is done.
I get it and I fully agree; Carney giving Trump the bird is obviously not the play to make.
At the same time, clapping for the bombing of Venezuela and capturing Maduro. Like what the fuck. This was really uneeded and unnecessary.
Why comment at all, giving praise was even foolhardy as internationally Canada looks to be on the wrong side of history.
Feigning ignorance or saying something on the lines of “My staff and I are currently looking into the implications of this rapidly changing situation.” would have honestly been better IMO.
Seriously someone out there would have probably had a better move than Carney’s misstep.
Again I don’t disagree with your points, I just feel that Carney’s been making mistakes intentionally or accidentally one after another.

Carney’s statement on Venezuela is equivalent to "We recognize the greatness of the extermination of domestic liberal terrorist in Mineapolis this week, and sympathize with the brave officer’s tragedy of dealing with anti-American sentiment. However, we hope that America can be peaceful and cooperative, with due process, in the future.

Ok buddy take it easy.
Let’s not equivalate an innocent woman getting shot by thugs to a corrupt president getting arrested.
The Venezuela thing is fucked up for many reasons, but that corrupt president getting fucked isn’t one of them.

a corrupt president getting arrested.
You’re just repeating US empire propaganda, just as its view on murdered driver. The actual only reason to leave the Venezuelan government in place is because they are more corrupt/bribeable than Maduro. The US is most corrupt country on earth and I can name 10 direct corruption acts from Trump alone. Can you name 1 corrupt act from Maduro?

Yep totally fair. Again, I don’t know if behind the scenes people are just like “he’s done this shit already, nothing we can do about it, so just appease the child with some comments”
A lot of leaders seem to be taking this route publicly while they work behind the scenes to shed themselves of Trump
