The following is an email from an MP in Canada to his mailing list:
Dear [mailing list recipient]
We are approaching three years since the House of Commons passed a motion to “immediately” list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. To our frustration, the Government still hasn’t done so.
However, in response to the storming of Capitol Hill in January 2021, the Liberal government listed the ‘Proud Boys’ as a terrorist organization within less than a month, demonstrating that listing a group as a terrorist organization can be done quickly and efficiently.
While the Government’s inaction is discouraging, the urgency to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization is the same now as it was three years ago.
Now, I’d like to ask you to sign this paper petition which calls on the Government to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization and to explain why it has taken them so long to do so.
Paper petitions serve a unique purpose since every 25 signatures gathered provides me with a distinct ability to speak on the issue in the House of Commons. Please print out this petition, sign it, and mail it to my office (postage free) within the next two weeks. The return address is on the back, so you don’t need an envelope. Simply print, sign, fold it in half, tape/staple it, and drop it in the mail.
Sincerely,
MP Garnett Genuis
