Economic Collapse Fuels Global Outcry

The rally comes in response to the “January Revolution” inside Iran, triggered by a historic economic crash. With the Iranian rial reaching $1,420,000$ to the U.S. dollar, protests that began over food prices have transformed into a total rejection of the current theocracy.

The Diaspora’s Core Demands

Protesters called on the Canadian government to move beyond symbolic statements and take direct action:

• Asset Seizures: Freezing all Canadian-held bank accounts and real estate linked to the Islamic Republic.
• Expulsions: Immediate deportation of regime-affiliated officials and their families living in Canada.
• Diplomatic Pressure: An end to all international negotiations and formal recognition of the Iranian people’s right to self-determination.
• Information Support: Global intervention to bypass the regime’s current internet blackout.

A High Human Cost

The atmosphere in Toronto was heavy with the weight of reports from Tehran. While official figures remain suppressed, opposition groups estimate that nearly 36,500 people have been killed during the most recent crackdowns. Demonstrators emphasized that this movement is no longer about reform, but about a definitive end to the current system.
