Investigate and deport IRGC suspects

Sign on the House of Commons website

Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to immediately investigate, deport and publish an update on 700 suspected IRGC officials; strengthen immigration screening; work with provinces and municipalities to secure vulnerable sites; condemn anti‑Zionism as antisemitism; pass C‑255 and C‑257; and replace the Ministerial Advisory Council with a House special committee on terrorism and hate crimes.

Why we would sign this petition

  • It would prompt immediate investigation and public reporting on 700 suspected IRGC agents, potentially removing individuals who pose security risks.
  • Stronger immigration screening and cooperation with provinces and municipalities could reduce the chance of violent attacks and better protect places of worship.
  • Passing C‑255 and C‑257 and creating a House special committee would provide legislative tools and focused oversight on terrorism and hate crimes.

Why we wouldn’t sign this petition

  • Mass investigations and deportations risk violating due process or privacy if not carefully targeted and legally justified.
  • Tighter immigration screening and new security rules may burden refugees and immigrants or strain federal‑provincial resources.
  • Replacing an advisory council with a parliamentary committee and declaring anti‑Zionism antisemitic could politicize oversight and limit legitimate political speech.

The summary and both sets of reasons are AI-generated from the petition and given equal weight. Claims are the petitioners’ own; consult the official record for the full text.

Official petition

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled There are at least 700 known Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp agents currently in Canada; The IRGC is a listed terrorist entity; The Toronto Police stated on their website that “What we are dealing with in this case and in other unrelated incidents, including shootings at synagogues and Jewish schools, is a recurring and similar modus operandi -- criminals for hire”; CBSA has taken action against only 48 out of the over 700 IRGC agents; The UK government has a travel advisory against Canada stating, “Terrorists are likely to carry out attacks in Canada”; Within one week there were 5 major antisemitic attacks; and Jews do not feel safe in Canada. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to: 1. Immediately investigate, deport and publish an update on the 700 suspected IRGC officials; 2. Heighten the security screenings surrounding immigration and refugee applications, while not infringing on Canadians' privacy rights; 3. Work with provincial and municipal governments to improve security measures and precedents around vulnerable events and places of worship (specifically but not limited to synagogues); 4. Finally condemn anti-Zionism as the modern form of antisemitism; 5. Immediately pass bills C-255 and C-257; 6. Replace the “Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion” with a house special committee on terrorism and hate crimes; and 7. Protect Jewish Canadians, and Canadians as a whole, against further terrorist attacks, allowed by the current government.
