Poilievre invites Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi to visit Canada
Iran's exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi has accepted an invitation from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to visit Canada. Poilievre, who met with Pahlavi virtually, intends to discuss democracy and safety for the Iranian diaspora during the prince's visit. Poilievre emphasized that this is not about endorsing Pahlavi, but about allowing the Iranian people to choose their own leaders.
Critics argue that Pahlavi's father ruled Iran as a western-backed dictator, and Pahlavi himself lacks a clear governance platform. Pahlavi, however, claims he would be a unifying leader for Iran's democratic transition.
