If it's OK for Canada to seize Iranian assets, it must be OK for Iran to seize Canadian assets, anyone thought of this? Meanwhile it will be Canadian tax payers who will pay this 107 mil, I say take it out of Trudeau's wealth since he wouldn't stfu about this.

How the hell does the legal team plan on seizing Iranian tankers?

That should reincarnate the relatives!

I hope they intended to seize assets to pay for the process as well so that taxpayers are not left on the hook for that! My optism level is low on getting anything from such a country and the people who run it.

I did read the report and it means nothing. The award is great for the lawyers at their contingency fees. But Iran is a sovereign nation. Protected by international treaties and law. A win on paper only.

Um, why is Ontario paying for this?

Why?

No tax payers money should be used for this at any point down the line
