The Iranian regime is escalating its war on protesters calling for democracy and human rights.

The next tangible and overdue step the Canadian Government must take is to match Tehran’s shocking escalation by listing its security force, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps , as a terrorist entity. The IRGC functions as the regime’s elite force at home and abroad. It is directly responsible for Tehran’s ability to maintain its rule.

Of course, the real circumstances of Shekari’s arrest and trial — and those of all dissidents in Iran — remain unclear as there is no independent judiciary. The justice system operates with a fundamentalist Islamic bent that is politically motivated to align with the country’s rulers.

As Canadians, we cherish and perhaps sometimes take for granted living in a democratic, secular country where the rule of law reigns supreme. Unlike in Iran, we live in a society that grants freedom of expression and religion. Although there are serious divides in Canada, dissent and debate are cherished parts of the democratic process that governs our daily lives.

Trudeau & the Liberals did nothing but shakehands with Iran's Foreign Minister when Canadians were 'accidentally' murdered by Iran; why would they pretend to care about Iran now? TrudeauMustGoNow

Let the Iranians help themselves. USA still practices capital punishment.

Don't rely on anything from our government because they are too busy supporting the corrupt Zelensky regime.

Stay out of it. You want to solve a problem, look at home. Canada is broken.

There is no 'moral obligation' to act. Canada has many Muslims, some of which are strict followers of Islam. If this is allowed, then there is no 'moral obligation'.

Canada moral obligation to speak out virtuous platitudes will grows. There, fixed it for you.

Bet Canada has offed way more through MAiD than Iran has through execution. Funny how evil is in the eye of the beholder, eh?🇨🇦

Iran executes people speaking out for womens rights. But somehow Canada is worse….

Trudeau wishes he had that power. Why would he act? Might come off as islamophobic.

Those morals were lost a long time ago & was on display early this year when people were arrested & jailed for peaceful assembly ! Same applies to all western countries during the pandemic… It’s a fantasy democracy all around .

trudeau should fly to iran and protest it

It's been demonstrated quite clearly the government of Canada has no morals or ethics

Canada won't do shit about it at best JT will condemn the acts just to fit in with the rest of the world

Trudeau is doing the same thing, MAID
