I sincerely urge the Canadian government to recognize Prince Reza Pahlavi as the leader of the transition against the brutal and terrorist forces of the Islamic Republic. Let’s not let the blood of innocent people go to waste—help us seek justice. My mother lives there with the rest of my family, my cousins, and all of my friends. I am worried every day if today I'm going to hear some bad news about my friends and family or if I'm not going to be able to see them ever again. I haven't seen my family and mother for over 10 years now and I simply just wanna be able to see my mother again before it's too late!
As an Iranian-Canadian, I ask the Government of Canada to recognize Reza Pahlavi as the leader of our opposition against the brutal Islamic regime that has taken 90 million Iranians hostage, including exiles like me. He understands our demands and gives you our voice. We will not be ignored and we will not stay silent. Tens of thousands of young, innocent lives have been lost—just in recent months. Silence in the face of one of the most barbaric genocides of this century is not an option.

This petition matters because results matter more than résumés.
Mark Carney presented himself as the competent steady hand, the technocrat who would deliver where others failed. That is not what Canadians are experiencing.
Start with jobs. The labour market has deteriorated sharply, with unemployment climbing toward levels not seen in years. Entire sectors have been hit, including steel and mill operations in British Columbia, costing thousands of Canadians their livelihoods. These were not abstract losses. These were families, communities, and careers, and much of this damage was avoidable with better leadership and planning.
Housing was supposed to be a priority. Build Canada Homes was framed as bold and urgent, with promises of 500,000 homes. The reality is nowhere near that pace, while affordability continues to collapse for working Canadians.
Fiscal oversight has raised serious concerns. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has warned that the current budget path is stifling growth and delivering poor value relative to the scale of spending.
There is also the issue of Carney’s past ties to Brookfield Asset Management and its offshore tax structures. These arrangements may be legal, but legality is not the same as leadership. Billions routed through tax havens are billions not supporting public services or domestic investment at a time when Canadians are being told there is no money.
Then there was the central promise that justified his leadership bid in the first place. He claimed he was the only one who could secure a deal with Donald Trump. Not only did that deal fail to materialize, but a poorly handled political advertisement involving Doug Ford, which Carney admitted he approved, directly undermined negotiations and forced a public apology. That is not statesmanship. That is basic and avoidable mismanagement.
Leadership is also about tone. When Canadians are talking about job losses, affordability, and national setbacks, constant smirking and inappropriate smiles project detachment, not confidence. They reinforce the sense that this government is insulated from the consequences ordinary people are facing.
When the Prime Minister dismissively says “who cares” in response to questions about when he last spoke with Trump, the answer is obvious. The people who care are those who lost their jobs. Families under financial strain during the Christmas holidays. Parents worried about keeping their homes. Marriages under pressure. Children watching their parents struggle with fear and uncertainty.
That is who cares.
This is not about ideology or personality. It is about competence, accountability, and the human cost of failed leadership. Canada does not need a technocratic elite managing decline. It needs leadership that delivers results and takes responsibility when promises fall short.
That is why this petition matters.
