(LifeSiteNews) — Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is taking a stand against the growing specter of imported hatreds sparking violence on Canadian streets. On August 4, he posted a video titled “Canada is for Canadians, not for IRGC terrorists,” featuring a short interview between Poilievre and a young Iranian-born woman named Raha:
Canada is for Canadians, not for IRGC terrorists.

Raha stated that she and her family had fled Iran’s repressive Islamist regime; Poilievre replied that terrorists affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard should be deported from Canada — while the Liberal government has allowed “at least 700 agents” into the country.”
The FBI, Poilievre noted, has indicated that there have been at least two shootings in the last several months that trace to IRGC terrorists, with other shootings at the U.S. Consulate, Jewish restaurants, and at synagogues that may also be connected to IGRC infiltration.
Poilievre was referring to a recent U.S. legal filing revealed that Mohammed Baqer Sad Dawood al-Saadi, who is allegedly a senior commander of Kataib Hezbollah and an agent of the IRCC, had coordinated and claimed responsibility for “nearly 20 terrorist attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and North America,” including “the March 10 shooting at the United States consulate in Toronto as well as an attack against a Canadian synagogue.”
According to the legal filing, Saadi, who is Iraqi, “was running multiple teams and sought help carrying out further attacks against Jewish and other targets in Canada and the United States.” Poilievre called for designating Kataib Hezbollah as an official terrorist group (it has been listed in the U.S. since 2009) in order to enable the Canadian government to investigate the group’s operations and actions in Canada, uncover agents of the IGRC, and deport those discovered to be associated with the group.
“Jewish Canadians have watched their synagogues, schools and businesses targeted by shootings, vandalism, firebombings and threats,” Poilievre wrote in an open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney. “Iranian Canadians who escaped the brutality of the Islamic Republic have faced surveillance, harassment and intimidation from the same regime on Canadian soil.” The Liberal government, he stated, has been guilty of inaction.
Poilievre called on Canadians to sign a petition in support of designating Kataib Hezbollah as a terrorist group. The petition states that “Canadians deserve to live free from terrorism, political violence and antisemitic attacks in their communities” and that “the Liberals have failed to disclose how many IRGC operatives remain in Canada, how many have been deported, or whether there are links between IRGC, ISIS and criminal activity in Canada.”
“Parliament did not list terrorist entities merely to put their names on a government website,” Poilievre concluded. “Canadians expect their laws to be enforced to the fullest extent: terrorist assets frozen and seized, financing networks dismantled, and operatives stopped at the border or removed from the country.” The IRGC also viciously and systematically persecutes Christians and monitors clergy closely.
