As MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale, I condemn these actions by the Iranian Regime and stand — today and every day — with the people of Iran as they continue their decades long pursuit for freedom and democracy. (2/2)
Reports of a brutal crackdown on protestors in Iran are sending shockwaves through the diaspora community here in Canada, and the silence resulting from the communications blackout is deafening. (1/2)
I still remember how thick the air was with grief the day the regime shot down #PS752. 6 years later, that tragedy has fueled a global reckoning. We honour the 176 (+1) souls lost by supporting the Iranian people’s fight for justice and freedom. 🕯️ #FlightPS752
