Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, told Mahsa Mortazavi, an Iran International journalist, that the Liberal government has allowed hundreds of people affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into Canada and that, out of roughly 700 people, only one person has been deported. He emphasized that all of these individuals must be deported from Canada.

Poilievre added: “We want to replace the Islamic Republic with a democratic government led by the Iranian people, and as long as this regime is in power, we do not support the presence of the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Canada, nor do we want the re-opening of Canada’s embassy in Tehran.”
