Excerpts of speech of John Baird, Foreign Minister of Canada from 2011 to 2015, at the Free Iran 2022, is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to tell you; it is so great to be back here in Ashraf 3<\/a>. It\u2019s great to feel your energy. It\u2019s great to feel your enthusiasm because the time for change has come. I am so thrilled to be joined by so many parliamentarians from different parties, from different regions of Canada who want to come and show their support for you, for the people of Iran, for freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s a real honor to be here. I want to tell you, in Canada, we admire the bravery of the people of Iran who have the courage to stand up to the religious zealots, to the religious fascists in Tehran. Despite brutal repression for more than 40 long years, the people of Iran are fighting in large numbers for freedom, for human rights, for democracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
