Bring home Canadians stranded by Coronavirus
Charter a flight to repatriate Canadians stranded in Iran by the Coronavirus pandemic
Why is this important?
Imagine leaving your home to travel abroad to visit after a death in the family, only to find the doors slammed shut behind you by a global pandemic.
Imagine flights being cancelled, borders being closed, and panic rising all around you.
Imagine living through that isolated, alone, without even the support of a Canadian consulate or embassy.
It may sound like a nightmare, but for dozens of Canadians, it's the frightening reality right now. Stranded in Iran as a major pandemic gets underway, these Canadians are trapped and alone - and they need our help.
Canadian officials have the power to negotiate a flight to Iran to collect Canadian citizens and bring them home. But so far they have refused.
We understand the need to manage resources. But we also understand the moral imperative to look out for each other in times of crisis.
Imagine it was you in that situation. Imagine if you were counting on your government, but knew that the only way those politicians would help was if thousands of Canadians spent just 30 seconds signing a petition and making their voice heard.
Imagine it - and then be that voice. Let's bring them home.
