OTTAWA — Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Jennie Carignan said she will be meeting with her European counterparts on Friday morning to discuss military options to support Gulf states. But Carignan ruled out any Canadian military involvement in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
“We are not talking about participating to Epic Fury, per se, this is not the mission that we are considering,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence on Thursday.

What military options? It’s doubtful the CAF could put down a sewing circle at this point.
