Why Trudeau’s siding with the Iranian regime
Canada has a long reputation as a mostly neutral and peaceful country. Under the previous leadership of
Stephen Harper, the economy was solid, and there were clear policies against terrorism. Yet things
changed when Justin Trudeau was elected leader. Perhaps just as concerning are Justin’s brother’s
views on the Iran terrorist regime. Justin’s brother, Alexandre, is a filmmaker and one of the films he
produced was done in association with Iran’s Press-TV. In a different case in 2016, Alexandre wrote to a
Canadian federal cabinet minister on behalf of a terror suspect (Mohamed Harkat) to allow the suspected
terrorist to remain in Canada. Earlier in 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada found Harkat to be an
active member of the Al Qaeda network. Why would Alexandre side with a terrorist? Is it ethical for
the brother of a current prime minister to petition the government? What are Trudeau’s real allegiances?
