"We have to say their names."

A heartbreaking read about the horrifying human cost of this brutal Islamic regime.

The world must not look away. And 🇨🇦 must double down on removing the dozens of regime officials who are in our country, without further delay.

A worthwhile read by @DrMichaelBonner.

My latest denunciation of Khomeinism and a discussion of the threat posed by the Islamic Republic both to the people of Iran and to the rest of the world also.

'...Soviet-sponsored Third Worldism withered when the USSR began to moderate in the later 1980s before its collapse in 1991. Since then, the mantle of anti-western hatred and terrorism passed to Iran and its proxies. A similar collapse of the Islamic Republic would not only inaugurate a free Iran, but would also make the world much safer.'

“Our beautiful country has become a cemetery in which the hopes of our youth are buried.”

Haunting words from @Omid_M.

The world is only beginning to understand the scale of mass murder this regime has inflicted on the brave people of Iran.

The world must not stand idly by.

[Omid Memarian @Omid_M]

“The people of Iran are living through a nightmare. This is the worst mass murder in Iran’s contemporary history. Our beautiful country has become a cemetery in which the hopes of our youth are buried.”
Watch these powerful and urgent remarks — and a devastating story shared by Dr. Payam Akhavan, former UN legal advisor on war crimes tribunals, former Special Advisor on Genocide to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and one of the world’s leading international human rights lawyers — speaking at the @UN_HRC. His words are a searing indictment of the violence facing Iranians today — and a warning the world cannot afford to ignore. #IranMassacre

[Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert @KMooreGilbert]

The @nytimes has compiled an incredibly detailed and comprehensive account of the massacre committed in Iran, by direct order of Supreme Leader Khamenei. It was so graphic and so harrowing that I was unable to read to the end. If you know someone downplaying what happened or peddling conspiracies please show them this. @farnazfassihi

Thank you @worldaen for your partnership as we work to build a safer and stronger Canada.

The normalization of extremism - and the dangerous temptation in our society to dismiss threats and stand idly by - must be challenged at every step. We encourage everyone to watch our CEO @sherylsap’s address to the Toronto Democracy Forum.

[World Anti Extremism Network @WorldAEN]

Sheryl Saperia (@sherylsap), CEO of Secure Canada, in her keynote address “Mobilizing the Middle: Empowering Canadians to Counter Extremism” at the Toronto Democracy Forum 2025, warned that complacency and normalization of extremist narratives threaten Canada’s democracy. She highlighted rising antisemitism, intimidation, and inconsistent law enforcement, urging citizens to reclaim civic courage and uphold pluralism.

The latest arrest by European authorities of a Hamas plot to massacre Jews.

This should be a cautionary tale to 🇨🇦.

Hamas, Hezbollah and other Iranian regime-backed terror groups are not only active in Europe.

They're here on this side of the ocean.

“There is a certain irony in invoking Havel…while deepening strategic alignment with regimes whose influence is built precisely on coercion, ideological manufacturing, and the disciplined projection of power. Engagement with difficult states may at times be necessary. Strategic naivety is not an option.” - @sherylsap

Living in truth means enforcing laws consistently, dismantling extremist networks across the spectrum, and rebuilding state capacity to protect all Canadians, not empty statements. Essential read: https://t.co/qINLdTYXQj

Will Canada practice what PM Carney preached—“living in truth”—at home by confronting antisemitism head-on, and abroad by choosing partners wisely? Secure Canada CEO @sherylsap poses this critical test for our leaders amid rising extremism.

[Council for a Secure Canada @CanSecureCA]

Secure Canada CEO @sherylsap in today’s @nationalpost on what Iran can teach us about the Red-Green alliance. “The lesson is that some alignments are structurally suicidal. When adherents of eliminationist theocratic dogma march beside those who profess a commitment to an egalitarian and open society, the destination is not co-existence. It is conquest.”

Stephen LeDrew is right: Prime Minister Carney “has signed over our freedoms and exposed himself not as the 'elbows-up' leader to fight Trump’s joke to an obsequious Justin, but as the fellow who just gave away the whole nation to a cruel, repressive, totalitarian regime without so much as a warning to Canadians.”

[Jim Murphy @JimMurp77852985]

Stephen LeDrew, former president of the Liberal party hits the nail on the head here. Pay attention folks, Carney is going to destroy Canada. https://t.co/txQlTOJ3ZB

Qatar isn't just another trade partner.

It's a leading sponsor of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Islamist extremism throughout the West.

Deeper trade and defence ties should be off the table. An incredibly disappointing move by our government.

A must read by @CarsonJerema.

All Canadians should be alarmed by deeper 🇨🇦-🇨🇳 ties and a "new world order". Especially when it includes intel-sharing between the RCMP and Chinese police (among various concerning provisions of the new "strategic partnership").

Our legitimate frustrations with 🇺🇸 bilateral relations must not be a pretext to abandon our principles and undermine the security of Canadians.

Trade diversity is important. But doubling down on a partnership with China suggests two policy delusions at play.

The first, that China is a competitor rather than a predator. One whose respect for the rules-based order is selective at best, to say nothing of its human rights record.

The second, that the road to Canada's strategic interests somehow runs outside North America and the circle of our traditional Western allies.

Presidents come and go. But a long-term strategy to safeguard Canada means getting the US-Canada relationship right, rather than looking to dictatorships for a substitute.

💯.

Incredibly concerning and, frankly, an embarrassing sign of the state of our national security posture.

As a basic protocol, there should be no situation in which @NationalDefence or any other sensitive department or agency hires asylum seekers or temporary residents.

[Jamie Sarkonak @sarkonakj]

It's incredibly concerning that we'd hire temporary residents and asylum seekers to work in government, particularly in National Defence. We're begging to be exploited.

[Council for a Secure Canada @CanSecureCA]

A disturbing case that shows a cocktail of violent extremism. A 19-year-old in Calgary:

● Posted pro-ISIS content (as part of a Snapchat group, "Islamic State Soldiers of Allah")

● Posted pro-Nazi content

● Was linked to efforts to target LGBTQ+ people

One can be appalled by Turkey’s human rights record, while also maintaining a common sense refugee policy.

If someone voluntarily returns to the country they say they fled, it should be assumed they do not fear for their lives.

To say nothing of those who commit fraud.

[National Post @nationalpost]

Refugee who moved back to Turkey for 9 years and changed his name gets another chance to stay in Canada https://t.co/6l8Z0TtBQq

A must read on the threat to Canadians posed by Iran’s Islamic regime:

https://t.co/tAWZV3yhS0

[Council for a Secure Canada @CanSecureCA]

"Freedom-loving Canadians should support the courageous popular uprising of Iranians against the barbaric regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The toppling of Iran’s Islamist government could also help bring lasting peace to the Middle East and remove a major domestic terrorist threat to Canadians."

[Council for a Secure Canada @CanSecureCA]

A must watch interview. Thank you @brianlilley & @scoopercooper for shining a light on Hezbollah’s extensive organized crime network in Canada.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

Hezbollah earns money for their terrorist activities in Canada. It's something @scoopercooper and I talked about the other day as we discussed Venezuela and all the bad connections in the Maduro regime.
