Members of Canada’s Iranian community have been living through a complex set of emotions since the United States and Israel started a war with Iran nearly two weeks ago. They worry for their loved ones in Iran, but they want to see the Islamic Republic regime destroyed. Others are divided on whether a return to a monarchy or a newly created democracy is in their future.

Today on the show, we feature the voices of eight Iranians who moved to Canada, some recently, others decades ago. They share their experiences, emotions and hopes for the future.
