–Meanwhile, Iranians are fearful for CanadiansCanadian ‘climate of fear’ disturbs Iranians
Four Iranians scheduled to speak at a controversial conference on peace in Ottawa last week were detained for three hours at Customs while Canadian security agencies vetted the texts of their remarks, one of the organizers said.
“They had to open their computers. Everything was shown to them,” said Paul Maillet, the Green party candidate in Ottawa-Orléans, who organized the Thursday event with three other current and former Green candidates.
He said the Iranians “were actually quite disturbed. They didn’t realize that this kind of climate of fear existed here. They thought Canada was a little more open.”..

WOW the Iranians “were actually quite disturbed” My question is Who give a rat’s a$$? What would be the chances of speakers from the west going into their country and talking about democracy??
Who cares? Maybe they won’t come anymore this way.
Who cares, yep that sums up my opinion. If those fellas want to know what a climate of fear is really like ask women who’ve survived gang rape in Iranian prisons, if any have survived that is.
