Outrage as Iranian woman dies in police custody

Canadians have taken to the streets in their tens of thousands, demanding accountability from the Iranian government over the death of Mahsa Amini. PM Trudeau and FM Joly have called for regime change in Tehran, because it is utterly unacceptable that in this day and age a woman can be taken into custody and just turn up dead. These are sure to be the biggest protests in Canada since tens of thousands took to the streets demanding justice for Amanda Bolt, Debra Chrisjohn, Tamara Lucier, or Celine Samuel. Oh wait… those women died in police custody in Canada. No protests then… my bad! Turns out women die in police custody with predictable regularity in Canada. The latest just made the news yesterday. Where is the outrage? Where are the demos? Where are the politicians clamoring for regime change and sanctions? We’re quite the sanctimonious lot, we Canadians.
