Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the Iranian leadership a “ruthless, evil regime” Thursday as he announced scholarships to honour the 57 Canadians killed when their Ukraine International Airline was blown out of the sky over Tehran.

“Innocent lives got shot down by a ruthless, careless Iranian regime,” Ford said. “I want to send a message — and it may not get over there — I support the (anti-government) protesters that are out there. We believe in democracy here in Canada and we’d like to see nothing less than democracy in Iran.”

Ford met with families of some of the victims and he said they blamed the Iranian regime for their tragic loss and they want justice.

I'll bet that Prime Minister Blackface vigorously disapproves of Ford's attitude.

For the Muslim adherents out there. Is there such a thing as accidents created by muslims, such as the shooting down of over 160 human beings. Allah wills all(destiny), yes or no?

The pro Iranian dead Canadians were sanction violators and their deaths were a boon.

I wonder if he gets arrested now, for anti-islamic statements.

The usual suspects amongst the lefties and student groups are howling for his political blood at the moment, and demanding a parliamentary Vote of No-Confidence, and a new Provincial Election, actually.

We’ll see if that gets any traction.
Most of them are still infuriated that Kathleen Wynne and her Party were tossed on the dung-heap (where they belong), in the most recent Ontario Election.
