On the night of January 8, 2020, a Boeing 737 carrying 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents climbed out of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and was destroyed by two missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. One hundred and seventy-six people died. Iran denied it for three days, bulldozed the crash site, and then blamed a single soldier’s misidentification error.
Canada accepted that framing, more or less. It still does.
This week, Mohammad Javad Zarif — Iran’s former foreign minister, now a prominent public advocate for Tehran’s position in its war with the United States and its allies — posted publicly that Western military action constitutes a war crime involving the deliberate killing of civilians.
The statement drew wide attention. It drew no attention to the fact that Zarif is the same official who, in a secretly recorded conversation obtained and studied by Canadian security agencies in the months after PS752 was destroyed, privately acknowledged that an organized, intentional attack on that civilian aircraft was “not at all unlikely” — and that the truth would never be revealed because doing so would expose the inner workings of Iran’s defense systems.
That tape should not be treated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and CSIS as a mere artefact of history. Recent events have only strengthened the case against Iran.[…]
In early March 2026, Iranian missiles struck Camp Canada at Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, damaging bunkers where about 200 Canadian Armed Forces personnel were sheltering. Iran also launched missiles at non-combatant nations in the region, suggesting an asymmetric strategy aimed at dividing the US-led campaign from potential allied supporters.
Russia feeds Iran targeting data for such strikes.
The Carney government sat on the Canadian base strike story for eleven days, until a French-language newspaper in Montreal broke it. Conservative defense critic James Bezan called the silence shameful.
The worst part was TurdHole paid the families of the victims over $1 million each as though it was our fault.
Narrow-shouldered, effeminate cowardly whiny socialist weaklings do not make good Americans.
Like the ones in California and Minnesota being robbed blind by the most retarded people on the planet? Your level of smug satisfaction i going to go out the window with the midterms.
Why were there 200 Canadian personnel in Kuwait? To promote democracy by protecting the monarchy? To protect oil supplies? Is Canada short of oil?
“Is Canada short of oil?” We must be. We import a crapload of oil.
And just a month after the plane was shot down Trudeau as glad-handing Zarif at the Munich Security Conference.
aaaaaand *still* they VOTE FOR THIS. have ya ‘got it’ yet SDA??? THERE is the ‘target’ of your criticisms.
LIEberals are DOING the bidding of the voters who know full well what to expect given LIEberals have been governing longer in total since confederation than any other party.
A new, and inevitable, moniker for Justin:
… killer.
Newsflash: Liberals are anti-Canadian cocksuckers.
You sir are correct and a great Canadian.
“shameful”
In my opinion, Carney and his owners and voters are incapable of such a thing.
Collusion is the right word for the regimes actions, and/or lack thereof.
If I remember right of those 55 +30 ‘Canadians’, only 3 traveled on Canadian passports with the rest using their Iranian passports. Thats 55 ‘Canadians’ and 30 Perm residents who came to Canada as refugees fleeing oppression and fearing for their lives. Returning to their home country on vacation.
Canada – the suckers of the world
