The responsibility of the Canadian government is clear: stand with the Iranian people, oppose repression, and refuse to support any attempt by foreign powers to hijack this moment for their own ends.

My heart is with Iranians in Canada and elsewhere in the world as they watch an escalating crackdown unfold in Iran. For almost two days, they have been cut off from loved ones by the Iranian government's internet blackout, which it has used in the past as cover for mass arrests and deadly force.

The protests are the latest expression of a struggle that has gone on for decades: against tyranny, against the crushing of the rights of women, workers, minorities, and dissidents, and against the impossible cost of living. The courage of those taking to the streets in cities, towns, and villages from across society is extraordinary.

Iranians know, especially in the wake of the brutal Israeli-US 12-day war, that their liberation will not come from outside forces waiting to exploit their fight for freedom. The responsibility of the Canadian government is clear: stand with the Iranian people, oppose repression, and refuse to support any attempt by foreign powers to hijack this moment for their own ends.

This is a very western imperialist view of what is happenning in Iran.
