The reality is that if Iran wins, the world loses. So does Canada.

GOLDSTEIN: Canada and the world lose if Iran wins Back to video

There will never be peace in the Mideast, tens of thousands of Iranians will continue to be imprisoned, tortured and murdered, and Iran will remain a clear and present danger to the lives of Canadians and innocent civilians around the world.

Iran is also the world’s leading promoter of Holocaust denial and Jew hatred, and thus a main contributor to the unprecedented outbreak of violent antisemitism in Canada ever since Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Prime Minister Mark Carney knows this, so when it comes to setting foreign policy, perhaps Canada could be a little less silent when the United Nations appoints Iran, as reported by UN Watch, to a committee shaping “policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament and terrorism prevention.”

There will never be the UN’s “two-state solution” of a secure Israel living in peace beside a viable Palestinian state, as long as the Supreme Leader and his henchmen rule in Iran.

Iran murders, imprisons and tortures its own people through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It is the world’s leading sponsor of global terrorism through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Qods Force.

Canada designates both as terrorist organizations.

On Jan. 8, 2020, the IRGC blew a Ukrainian civilian airliner out of the sky with two surface-to-air missiles, shortly after it took off from Tehran airport, killing all 176 people on board, including 55 Canadians and 30 permanent residents of Canada.

Iran funds, trains and supports more than a dozen terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Houthis, Harakat al-Sabireen and the Fatemiyoun Division — all designated as terrorist groups by Canada.

Despite knowing this, the Carney government treats Israel like the moral equivalent of Hamas and Hezbollah, a recent example being Foreign Minister Anita Anand’s pious declaration that, in the latest confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, both sides should lay down their arms.

As if a democratic nation has no more right to defend itself than Hezbollah, a terrorist entity according to our own government, whose founding manifesto calls for the “destruction of Israel” and whose military wing operates illegally in Lebanon.

Canada’s foreign interference inquiry identified Iran as a security threat to Canadians.

Our own government says Iranian intelligence services engage in transnational repression of Canadian citizens of Iranian origin in Canada, “including monitoring, harassing and intimidating” opponents of the regime, acting indirectly through agents, including individuals in Canada associated with organized crime groups.”

CSIS has identified credible death threats by Iran against Canadians, including a failed attempt to assassinate former Canadian justice minister Irwin Cotler, requiring 24/7 protection by the RCMP.

In 2023, an investigation by Global News reported that hundreds of operatives of the Iranian government were living in Canada. Still, as of March, the Canadian government had deported only one Iranian official out of a group of 24 identified as members of the terrorist IRGC.

Given that Carney has proclaimed Canada will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in Canada because of the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for his prosecution for war crimes, maybe his government could be a little tougher on Iranian terrorists living in Canada.
