CANADALAND

There Are Hundreds of Thousands of Iranian-Canadians. How Are They Doing?

23 Jun 2025

Description

There’s a secret club in Canada. And trust me, you don’t want to be a member. If you’re in this club, your first response when you hear news about bombs and death and carnage in the Middle East is not to hop onto Twitter or Facebook to post your political opinion about it. Your first response is to make a long-distance phone call to try to find out if your family and friends over there are still alive. Lebanese Canadians are in this club, Palestinian Canadians are in this club, Jewish Canadians are in this club. And last week, hundreds of thousands of Iranian Canadians joined the club too. Today we talk to two Iranian-Canadians with very different perspectives about what’s happened since Israel attacked Iran last week and what it could mean in the future. Credits:Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Max CollinsAdditional music by Audio NetworkFollow Our Guests: Amir Attaran Bluesky Kaveh Shahrooz TwitterSponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.
