Canada, June 13, 2018 - On Tuesday afternoon Canada’s Liberal government called for a vote on a bill presented by the Conservative Party demanding Ottawa adopt a firm policy vis-à-vis the Iranian regime.

The entire Liberal cabinet voted in favor of the bill presented by Conservative MP Garnett Genuis.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had put measures into motion to resume diplomatic relations with Tehran. This parliament plan, however, calls on the government to set this policy aside and immediately halt all negotiations or talks with the Iranian regime in this regard.

What was once considered the appeasement policy is now evolving into a strong doctrine against Tehran and placing the mullahs under scrutiny.

Another article of this bill calls for Ottawa to blacklist the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). This would be a major political and economic blow to the Iranian regime, considering the fact that the IRGC controls large sectors of Iran’s economy.Trudeau took even one step further in this interesting turn of events by actually warning Canadian companies to no longer have any trade relations with the Iranian regime. Bombardier is one such firm, involved in talks aimed at selling jet passenger planes to the Iranian regime.

Tuesday’s vote, approved by the Prime Minister and his cabinet, means this bill is now considered embedded with Canadian policy. How and when this policy will be implemented remains to be seen.

The IRGC Quds Force is already considered a terrorist entity in Canada.

Canadian Conservative Senator Linda Forum has told the media she is happy the country’s Liberal government has come to understand its mistake and now considering the IRGC as a terrorist entity. This body deserves to be isolated and condemned by the Canadian government.

It remains unclear what element lead Trudeau to adopt such a position regarding Iran. This may be related to recent remarks by Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.

This may have also come under pressure exerted by U.S. President Donald Trump in the G7 Summit or Canada’s Iranian dissident community who continue their efforts against Tehran’s mullahs.

Time will tell what caused this major U-turn in Canada. Obvious is the fact that Tehran is losing significantly in recent developments.

In response to Iranian claims that their ballistic missile program is peaceful, Le Drian said: "Having such tools is not uniquely defensive, given the distance they can reach." The French Foreign Ministry even issued a statement ahead of the trip, which said Le Drian ...

Regime Change Is Only Way to Stop Iran Proxies in Iraq

Regime Change Is Only Way to Stop Iran Proxies in Iraq Saturday, 24 February 2018 07:57 NCRI Staff NCRI - When Iraqi Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani issued a fatwa calling on all able-bodied Iraqis to defend their country against ISIS, a 100,000-strong fighting force, known as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), emerged. The PMF was made up of multiple volunteer Shiite militia groups that filled the void left by the collapsed Iraqi army, but some of these groups hid a dangerous sponsor: Iran. While all PMF militias are technically under Iraqi control, those Iran-aligned groups still answer to the Iranian Regime and, as such, have done real damage to the safety and security of Iraq in order to expand Iranian influence in the country. In fact, the Iran-backed PMF forces, who have been working in Iraq since the fall of the Baath regime, may even have been responsible for sectarian atrocities that laid the groundwork for ISIS and the 2006 war between Arab Sunnis and Shiites. They hav...
