Liberal MP Robert Oliphant\u0027s actions at an Iranian\u002DCanadian event definitely were not what one would expect of a government representative.
The Trudeau government was booed and a Liberal MP abruptly left while cursing at a major Iranian Canadian event held in Toronto this past weekend. The For Iran event at Scotiabank Arena was a replacement for the traditional joy-filled festival to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year and to mark the arrival of spring.
The killing sparked protests across Iran, with women waving or burning their hijabs in the air, but not wearing them. Those protests also sparked a brutal response from the regime in Tehran that saw many more beaten, tortured, raped and executed. Premier Doug Ford spoke on behalf of his government, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spoke as well. Defence Minister Anita Anand gave remarks on behalf of the government.
