I'm proud of being Iranian/Canadian, if I had to choose again, I'd choose Canada again. It's a wonderfull contry if you start from the right point.

you always nagging about Canada, saying comments that's not true.
Of course Tax is hight, weather wise is cold, and ....
BUT it gave me and my family FREEDOM,Justice, peace,... which we couldn't have in our own country IRAN.
We both know you can't get a visa from USA easily and the only country which give you visa is CANADA!
even though for the cities with harsh weather, but that's the only chance.
so Baradar
Can I ask you 2 SIMPLE Questions?
1-how come you didn't stay in Iran and BE PROUD and WINNER ( YOU called them LOSER)
2-Why you 're not moving to USA???
Hillary??? is that the best
by unkown-person (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 11:29 PM PSTHillary???
is that the best name they could come up with? I also dont understand how changing her name would help her at all. She will now grow up thinking of her homeland and culture as unimportant and a total waste.
The family looks so desperate to become canadian that they are willing to do everything and anything to speed up that process.
I do think they will eventually regret some of the decisions they are making now.
I am not saying they shouldn't experience the freedom they are seeking in canada but they can have their freedom and still be proud of their background.
Best Wishes to the Beautiful Family
by iranians_should_stop_the_hate (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 09:52 PM PSTMy heart goes out to this nice family. I can relate to everything they went through and are going through. They are very hardworking and I wish them great success. Take care of each other!

Thank you for you prompt response. Is a typographical error similar to misspelling a word? I think much has been made about cyber posts and emails and whether they should have perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Thank you again.
Good for them!
by Milan (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 09:08 PM PSTI love Persians who are secure and happy with their own family, even in a seemingly desolate land. They don't need to be buzzing around 500 Persian families and restaurants to be happy!
Best wishes!
Wish the family all tha best...
by Kurdish warrior (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 09:03 PM PSTSo the family’s case is different from others. They are not escaping the IRI because they feel threatened to get killed or be put in prison so what. They went to Canada for a better life. Good luck and wish them all the best.

You don't know what you're
by Anonymous6666666666666666 (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:58 PM PSTYou don't know what you're talking about. USA and western countries have become great, not because of their Government, but because of the hard work of their people. Governement is simply a function of a socienty. We have a bad Governement because of peole like you, sell outs (me included). If you wish those values (freedom of speech, dress,...), you have to fight for it. You can't wish. so, don't talk crap. the least we can do for the place we blong to is not to bring it down in front of the whole world by going and shitting on iran on TV. that is what this family did. I personly would love to go back to Iran and live their after I'm done with my studies. If i don't go, then it is simply because i'm selfish and I don't give a shit about my people. IF i stay i would respect the USA, and work hard in this country, but I would never talk shit about my oun country and my own people. and Islamic Governement is suitable Governement for stupid people like you.

Carbonear, Newfoundland! What a boring place!
by N (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:57 PM PSTThey are enjoying it now. Give them couple of years and they will be bored out their skull living in butt f**K nowhere Newfoundland! I personally take Iran over Newfoundland. MAGE JAA GHAHT BOOD! These guys will take double/triple personality thing over living in NF. I am willing to bet.

Thank you in advance.

It is okay to be selfish, if you can't be generous with you life. It is nothing bad. I makes me angry is this couple bringing Iran down on Canadian TV. I say to them, just shu the F.up and now live your life in peace, don't you F. with my country.
Babak R and Kouroush Sassanian are the Same Person!
by Nader Vanaki (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:39 PM PSTWow. now we are seeing the evolution of another personality of Kouroush Sassanian, the deranged loner poet. Let's see you two duke it out here. The Ying and Yang are at it now. Kouroush you do have a decent side to your demented soul, too bad you can't attach your real identity to it.
I think it is time for another one of your tongue gashing poems on the Arab ivasion of Iran.
Best of Luck on Your New Life
by Fereshteh (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:35 PM PSTThere is a lot of irrelevant criticism posted here regarding this family's declarations. They did lead a double life just as so many still do in Iran. Remember folks - Iran has a government that thrives off of the fear that it generates through the public. However, they, similar to so many of us were among the lucky ones who escaped for a land where personal liberties of dress, speech, and practice of religion are upheld. I wish them all the best in Canada and I wish that Iran too can one day grant those core fundamental rights to its citizens!
free at last
by Single Nude Male (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:16 PM PSTI didn’t understand why I could be naked in my house but not in the streets. I didn’t understand why I could fart in my bed but not in my classroom. I was living a double life. I was filled with hot air. I needed a society where I could leaflessly relieve myself. So, I came to the USA where I can go to a nude beach and fart all day without being harassed by the authorities. I love this country.
To: Babak R.
by Nader Vanaki (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 08:04 PM PSTI was merely expressing my views about this family. I only indicated the woman was a whore and her daughter was a whore in the making. This is true! She left Iran so her daughter could call herself "Hilary." This is not freedom. They are selling themselves and sadly selling their daughter. They are morons! You are a moron Babak!
Double personality?!
by Ajam (not verified) on Tue Feb 05, 2008 07:29 PM PSTThey apparently fled Iran to save their daughter from developing a double personality, which is quite understandable. But, how is changing her name to an Anglosaxon one (Hillary) is going to help her build an original character?!
