Ali Siadat delivers an emotional anti-war speech during a peace rally at Murphy's Community Centre in Charlottetown on Jan. 11. About 60 people attended the rally, which was organized to oppose recent acts of aggression by the U.S. against Iran. "The last few days was just a nightmare for everyone. Especially Iranian Canadians," Siadat said. A petition calling Canada to oppose a potential war against Iran was passed around, and will be sent to the Prime Minister's office.
