From yesterday’s House of Commons proceedings:
A conference on “Just and Sustainable Peace” raises eyebrows in Ottawa
Among Canadian invitees to conferences hosted by the Iranian government this spring and summer was one Akbar Manoussi, a former candidate for the Green Party of Ontario and Canada. Manoussi’s titles and affiliations, which are almost comical in their pompous absurdity, have included: “secretary general” of the “Iranian Scholars Association of Canada,” which appears to exist only on the Internet and which has a membership list that may be limited to Manoussi himself; and “director general” of the “Iranian Cultural Centre” in Ottawa, which is run out of the Iranian embassy.
