Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s received evidence from intelligence sources suggesting the plane that crashed in Iran on Wednesday, killing at least 63 Canadians, was shot down by a surface-to-air missile politico.com/news/2020/01/0…
"The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface to air missile," Trudeau said. "This may well have been unintentional."

The crash happened hours after Iran launched more than a dozen missiles at bases used by U.S. troops in Iraq politi.co/2sR98Q9
Earlier today, Iran’s civil aviation authority announced it had invited Canadian officials to join the ongoing investigation of the Ukraine Airlines crash politico.com/news/2020/01/0…

President Trump renewed his push for political rivals Joe Biden and Adam Schiff to testify at his looming Senate impeachment trial politico.com/news/2020/01/0…
“I’m going to leave it to the Senate, but I’d like to hear the whistleblower, I’d like to hear ‘shifty’ Schiff, I’d like to hear Hunter Biden and Joe Biden,” Trump told reporters at today's White House event politico.com/news/2020/01/0…
Trump's remarks came after he huddled privately Wednesday with Mitch McConnell at the White House.

McConnell on Tuesday secured sufficient backing from his GOP caucus to approve a framework of rules governing a trial without Democratic support politico.com/news/2020/01/0…

Trump on Soleimani: "We caught a total monster. We took him out. And that should have happened a long time ago. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy. We also did it for other reasons that were very obvious" politi.co/35FzVvQ

1)
 @MajidJowhari, a Liberal MP in Canada known for his pro-#Iran regime views & policies, is up for reelection. This thread sheds light on Jowhari being a Tehran apologist/lobbyist, supported by @ICCongress, the mullahs’ lobby arm in Canada, and should not be reelected.
2)
 Canada’s previous Conservative gov cut off diplomatic ties with Iran.

Jowhari supports reestablishing diplomatic/commercial relations between Canada & Iran, despite Tehran being the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism & having the highest number executions per capita.
3)
 During the Dec 2017/Jan 2018 protests across Iran, Jowhari caused a major uproar by describing Tehran’s ruthless dictatorship as an “elected government.”

For those interested in a possible connection between #NXIVM cult related parties and Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau in #Canada, here's an interesting article that explains historical links projekte.sueddeutsche.de/paradisepapers…
"The Paradise Papers, however, raise suspicions that one of Trudeau’s closest party allies, a man who counts among the prime minister's most ardent supporters, is involved in a tax avoidance scheme. That confidant is Stephen Bronfman, who has been friends with Trudeau for years."
"Trudeau’s political rise is tightly linked to Bronfman. When Trudeau first set out to become the leader of the Liberal Party in 2013, he asked Bronfman to help out with fundraising. And when Trudeau successfully landed the position, he put Bronfman in charge of filling the party
