Trudeau ensured influence of IRGC will be felt in Canada for decades
At least now that it has been listed as a terrorist organization, it will be easier to prosecute its members
The Liberal government’s failure for six years to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorists has been “a huge disaster,” according to a Vancouver human rights lawyer.
Mojdeh Shahriari said the IRGC have been able to spread their tentacles into Canadian academia and professional institutions and have been working to undermine the social and cultural fabric of the country.
“It’s influencing the political and the social landscape of Canada. It’s influencing the youth and mobilizing them against Western values, against Canadian security, in very subtle way and sometimes in very overt ways,” said Shahriari, co-founder of StopIRGC, a group of lawyers and volunteers dedicated to uncovering the extent of Iranian influence.
“It’s the same issue with respect to China, how they have been operating. The Islamic Republic is no different.”
There is also no difference in how the Trudeau Liberals have tackled the problem of China and Iran: they have stonewalled; denied there was an issue; played the race card against critics; hid behind “national security”; been secretive and furtive, and delayed taking action.
