Canada’s “feminist” Trudeau continues to court Iran despite its oppression of women

Iran’s theocracy represents the antithesis of Canada’s liberal democracy, as it violently constrains its citizens’ speech, movement and religious observance, and deliberately enforces barriers to gender equality.

While Canada does not, and should not, limit its interactions only to states that share its ideals, neither should we actively seek to court and reward governments that sponsor terrorism, repress their own people and arbitrarily arrest, torture and kill our citizens. Any dealings with such countries need to be part of a larger framework that reflects our values and protects our interests.

Trudeau is an avowed feminist and human rights defender, but where are his words of support for the courageous Iranian women who are being arrested in Tehran for removing their hijabs? While these women have focused on the Muslim headscarf that all females over 13 years of age must wear as part of the dress code instituted following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, they are ultimately protesting their government’s interference with their basic autonomy.

Masih Alinejad, an Iranian writer and activist who lives in New York, explained that, “In the Islamic Republic of Iran, if you take off your headscarf and you appear in public unveiled, you get fined, you get arrested, you get lashes. You will be kicked out from your school if you are unveiled. You won’t be able to get a job.… When we fight against a compulsory hijab, we don’t fight against a piece of cloth.

We fight for our dignity. We fight for our identity. And we fight for our personal lives. We’re not against those women who want to wear hijabs, but we don’t want them to be pushing us in a situation to wear their dress code, which we do not believe in.”...

Thankfully, our first female president was replaced by the Trumpster.

Hopefully, Canada will follow suit.

One more schizophrenic liberal politician. The world needs back ground checks on politicians and a 10 year waiting period prior to running for office.

But Iran also hates the United States, so Trudeau is willing to overlook almost any evil they commit.

My Grandfather and Great Uncle fought in WW1, my Grandfather was with the Canadian Black Watch and my Great Uncle was with the New Newfoundland Regement.

I asked my Great Uncle what he would have done differently. He Said: “I would have hid in the hid in the woods with the Frenchies,”
