What it means for you

Iranians in Canada could face increased scrutiny from Canada's government and Jewish Canadians and communities at risk of terrorist threats could see stronger government action to address hate crimes, remove known security threats, and improve safety at synagogues and other vulnerable sites.

The full petition text

There are at least 700 known Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp agents currently in Canada;

The IRGC is a listed terrorist entity;

The Toronto Police stated on their website that “What we are dealing with in this case and in other unrelated incidents, including shootings at synagogues and Jewish schools, is a recurring and similar modus operandi -- criminals for hire”;

CBSA has taken action against only 48 out of the over 700 IRGC agents;

The UK government has a travel advisory against Canada stating, “Terrorists are likely to carry out attacks in Canada”;

Within one week there were 5 major antisemitic attacks; and

Jews do not feel safe in Canada.

We, the undersigned,citizens of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Immediately investigate, deport and publish an update on the 700 suspected IRGC officials; 2. Heighten the security screenings surrounding immigration and refugee applications, while not infringing on Canadians' privacy rights; 3. Work with provincial and municipal governments to improve security measures and precedents around vulnerable events and places of worship (specifically but not limited to synagogues); 4. Finally condemn anti-Zionism as the modern form of antisemitism; 5. Immediately pass bills C-255 and C-257; 6. Replace the “Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion” with a house special committee on terrorism and hate crimes; and 7. Protect Jewish Canadians, and Canadians as a whole, against further terrorist attacks, allowed by the current government.
