Late is better than never...I guess... ps752justice
Thank you. Justice for PS752
It´s too late, but officials in Canada must finally come to terms with the facts. It´s a positive step!
Human error and equipment miscalibration claim by Iran is unacceptable. An independent investigation will shine a light on truth. ps752justice
Is a good step
ps752justice Finally! This should have been done 6 months ago! IRGC who accepted the responsibility of killing 55 Canadians horribly and are laughing at the families everyday in IRIB needs to be sanctioned! This is the minimum Canada can do!
