Canada announced last week that it has added Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to its list of terrorist organizations under the criminal code. It now joins the United States as the only Western countries to do so. Unlike most groups on Canada's terror list, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is an official arm of the Iranian government. The designation is something some Iranian Canadians and Conservative MPs have been calling for many years. So who are the IRGC? And, why now?Kaveh Shahrooz, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and activist, joins us to explain what the IRGC is and why he's been pushing for this move.For transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

On this episode of the Alex Pierson Show Podcast we first get to celebrate the fact that after almost a decade, the federal government has FINALLY designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. But why now? Could there be an alternative motive? Alex turns to Kaveh Shahrooz, a human rights lawyer and Iranian-Canadian on why this change is so important, but why he believes the liberals decided to do it now. GUEST: Kaveh Shahrooz, Human Rights Lawyer X(Formerly Twitter): @kshahrooz Next, more information has come to light in a case that involved a double murder/suicide...but it turns out to be much more sensational and sinister in nature. Reports suggest that the shooter was the victim of mortgage fraud that left his life savings decimated, and he lashed out on the people who committed the scam. Just how common is mortgage fraud and why didn't the police arrest the known fraudster? Ron Butler is a broker with Butler Mortgage and exposes the seedy underbelly of the mortgage world, and how this crime sadly was able to happen. GUEST: Ron Butler, Broker with Butler Mortgage X(Formerly Twitter): @ronmortgageguy Finally, after Premier Ford tweeted that he's urging the federal government to impose tariffs on Chinese vehicles, Alex gets a leader in Canada's automotive world, Flavio Volpe who is also the President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturer's Association on what this actually means and how it could be done.

A major part of Justin Trudeau's appeal to progressive voters in Canada is his international reputation as a liberal golden boy. But Trudeau's use of war-time measures to crack down a peaceful working class protest has shattered that image. It made him look weak, hypocritical, petty and mean. How can Trudeau lecture serial human-rights-abuses in countries like China and Iran when he used force and froze the bank accounts of political dissidents at home? Those countries are already mocking him and pointing out the double standard. On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by lawyer and human rights activist Kaveh Shahrooz to discuss just how badly this damaged Trudeau's reputation – abroad and at home.
