On October 26, 2017 during the debate on Bill S219 (Non-nuclear Sanctions Against Iran Act) Senator Linda Frum said the following about Iran and Iranians:

"Bill S-219 is grounded in a moral and ethical purpose, and that is to monitor one of the most maligned nations in the world and to calibrate our nation’s sanctions accordingly."

Senator Frum's discriminatory and anti-Iranian comment is a disrespect to the Iranian-Canadian community, one of the largest and fastest growing immigrant communities in Canada. It is estimated that over 300,000 Iranian-Canadians live across Canada. These individuals are an integral part of the Canadian multicultural fabric. In every city and province in Canada the positive contributions of the Iranian-Canadian community are evident. Iranian-Canadians are proud of their culture, their heritage and their ethnic and national origin.

Senator Frum must retract her comments publicly in the Senate of Canada and apologize to the Iranian-Canadian community.

We invite you to use this simple application to contact your Senators and ask them to keep Linda Frum accountable for her discriminatory comments against Iranians.

Sentor Frum must realize that while this kind of charged and irresponsible rhetoric is becoming a part of the daily politics south of the border, here in our multicultural and diverse Canada we do not accept this language.

On October 26, 2017 during the debate on Bill S219 (Non-nuclear Sanctions Against Iran Act) Senator Linda Frum said the following about Iran and Iranians:

"Bill S-219 is grounded in a moral and ethical purpose, and that is to monitor one of the most maligned nations in the world and to calibrate our nation’s sanctions accordingly."

Senator Frum's discriminatory and anti-Iranian statement constitutes tremendous disrespect towards the Iranian-Canadian community, one of the largest and fastest growing immigrant communities in Canada. It is estimated that over 300,000 Iranian-Canadians live across Canada. These individuals are an integral part of the Canadian multicultural fabric. In every city and province in Canada, the positive contributions of the Iranian-Canadian community are evident. Iranian-Canadians are proud of their culture, their heritage and their ethnic and national origin.

I ask you, as my representative in the Senate of Canada, to urge Senator Frum to retract her comments publicly in the Senate of Canada and apologize to the Iranian-Canadian community.

I further ask that you vote against Bill S219, the Non-nuclear Sanctions Against Iran Act, at the third reading due to the following reasons:

- Bill S-219 undermines the successful multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran (JCPOA) and UN Security Council resolution 2231 that ratified the agreement in 2015. 
- Bill S-219 will block the path of re-engagement between Canada and Iran and undermines the efforts of the Government of Canada in re-establishing diplomatic relations with Iran. 
- Bill S-219 will negatively impact hardworking members of the Iranian-Canadian community by exposing them to discrimination by banks and other institutions due to the expanded sanctions proposed by S219. 
- By blocking the path of re-engagement between Canada-Iran Bill S219 perpetuates the troubles Iranian-Canadians have encountered since 2012 due to lack of access to consular services in Canada and Iran.
