IT READS ❮AS IF❯ downing of #PS752 was nothing more than a matter of negligence, a 'failure to take proper care in doing something.'

@OmarAlghabra calls it a "tragedy".
"Tragedy" is more great loss and misfortune, even calamity. It's benign and it minimizes.

to #PS752 as a "tragedy" is ill-considered and entirely inappropriate.
ONLY «ATROCITY» carries with it the reality of the barbarity and savageness necessary to deliberately shoot down a civilian airliner.
IT IS DOUBLY PREPOSTEROUS to issue a weak statement like this one

THIS PHRASEOLOGY lays bare either a complete failure to grasp what has actually occurred as an act of brutality, or it reveals an attempt to tiptoe carefully through extra-linguistic signalling and understatement.

TO BE CLEAR, and the Ontario court has ruled, two (2) sophisticated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (#IRGC) Tor M-1 missiles fired from advanced battery systems about 30 seconds apart is ❮NOT❯ accidental.

AND SINCE it has now been found to be a deliberate act (the "Intentionality Scenario"), it necessarily follows that the Iranian regime had a reason(s) to destroy this particular aircraft.
The #Iran regime has consistently demonstrated a capacity for outrageous brutality.

IT TAKES monstrous inhumanity and evil to destroy a civilian aircraft with innocent souls aboard ... AND it challenges and defies our comprehension.
NONETHELESS, any hope of identifying the reason(s), can only come through a competently-conducted criminal investigation.

IT MUST BE a dogged investigation, as only our grim persistence and tenacity will yield answers.
AS FOR the reason(s), there are only two possibilities. Suffice it to say, the answer lies in 'a person or persons' AND/OR 'something' [italics] were aboard that aircraft.

THE WORDS "justice, transparency and accountability" sound reassuring and consequential in the context of this statement.
BUT FOLLOWING a weak embedded statement, however these words become more or less a feeble assertion. AND,its feebleness won't be lost on #Iran.

It is not difficult to imagine the #Iran regime scoffing when it reads such banal and threadbare words like "failed", "neglected" and "tragedy", without the teeth of Canadian criminal investigation.
'Justice' and 'accountability will not be realized in the near future.

As a trained/designated Major Case Manager, I can say the type of criminal investigation required for #PS752 will need time and resources. Nonetheless, it must be embarked upon with a long view perspective and unrelenting tenaciousness, sufficient to last decades if required.

Any thought or hope of receiving any semblance of anything approaching 'transparency' from #Iran should be set aside immediately as unrealizable and not realistic.
A Canadian criminal investigation is the only means by which to achieve justice and with it, accountability.

FINALLY, «ATROCITY» should become forthwith the ONLY descriptor used by #GOC in all future communications whenever referring to Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 (PS752).
"Tragedy" has no rightful place going forward as Canada pursues justice and accountability.
