On this episode of the Alex Pierson Show Podcast we first get to celebrate the fact that after almost a decade, the federal government has FINALLY designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. But why now? Could there be an alternative motive? Alex turns to Kaveh Shahrooz, a human rights lawyer and Iranian-Canadian on why this change is so important, but why he believes the liberals decided to do it now.

Next, more information has come to light in a case that involved a double murder/suicide...but it turns out to be much more sensational and sinister in nature. Reports suggest that the shooter was the victim of mortgage fraud that left his life savings decimated, and he lashed out on the people who committed the scam. Just how common is mortgage fraud and why didn't the police arrest the known fraudster? Ron Butler is a broker with Butler Mortgage and exposes the seedy underbelly of the mortgage world, and how this crime sadly was able to happen.

Finally, after Premier Ford tweeted that he's urging the federal government to impose tariffs on Chinese vehicles, Alex gets a leader in Canada's automotive world, Flavio Volpe who is also the President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturer's Association on what this actually means and how it could be done.
