Meanwhile….Iran was using Canada as a safe haven from which to operate.
Two years ago, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service
said there were “credible” reports that Iran was threatening the lives of Canadians — in Canada.
Last year, Global News
reported that Masih Alinejad, a U.S. human rights activist and journalist, was warned by the FBI not to travel to Canada because she would not be safe from the long terrorist arm of the IRGC.
“That’s heartbreaking. Canada should be safe,” Alinejad told Global.
It was also Global News that
reported that about 700 Iranian affiliates were in Canada getting up to all sorts of skullduggery, not the lest of which was money laundering.
Earlier this year, Finance Canada officials told a parliamentary committee that $100 billion is illegally laundered in Canada each year.
After the hearing, the Conservatives pointed out that the IRGC was certainly one of the groups involved in that crime.
“Trudeau’s refusal to list the IRGC as a terrorist entity means that the regime’s illegal money laundering in Canada goes undetected according to testimony from Finance Canada officials yesterday,” said a
statement from the Conservatives…hmmm…
“One can equate it to a large, corrupt mafia group comprising 150,000 members involved in money laundering, transnational terror, selling drugs on the black market, expropriation of property, extrajudicial killings, targeted assassinations, cyberwarfare and the spread of Islamist propaganda,” she said. Good times indeed.
