My headline is more accurate than the CBC’s – “Stung by criticism, Trudeau government changes course on Iran”
This week saw a turnaround in the Trudeau government’s approach to Iran as an unprecedented revolt against clerical rule that began three weeks ago showed no sign of slowing down.
The change began in Dartmouth, N.S., on Tuesday, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government would be taking stronger actions against members of the Iranian regime, “including ensuring that we go after them for any assets or homes that they have in Canada.”
Back in Ottawa, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Transport Minister Omar Alghabra attended a rally marking a thousand days since the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot down Flight PS752, killing 55 Canadians and another 30 permanent residents.
