Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is taking steps to keep members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from entering Canada. On Friday, the federal government announced it will ban the Iranian regime and the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps under “the most powerful provision of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.”
