OTTAWA—Government officials were heckled after hundreds of people marched to Parliament Hill on Tuesday to mark 1,000 days since the downing of Flight PS752 near Tehran and to demand Ottawa take action against Iran.
Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 was shot down Jan. 8, 2020, by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), killing 176 people, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents.

Appearing before the House of Commons Finance Committee on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland defended the government’s response to Canadians’ affordability concerns as “focused” and fiscally responsible.




Federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is calling Alberta Justice Minister and Solicitor General Tyler Shandro’s plan to direct RCMP in the province not to enforce confiscations of prohibited firearms “reckless,” and is amounting it to “a political stunt” that won’t hold up.
