Dimitri Lascaris is a Canadian justice activist and class action lawyer of Greek background. He is running on a progressive platform of workers rights, environmental restoration, and justice reforms, both at home and abroad. He was recently ranked as the most progressive candidate on Middle East issues by human rights organizations such as Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) and Independent Jewish Voices (IJV). 

During the last month, Dimitri has held several meet and greets with Iranian Canadians across the country. In this online discussion, the community will get another chance to ask him questions, as the potential future leader of the Federal Green party. 

Some issues to be discussed in this session are:

+ Canada's role in global politics and Dimitri's criticism of it

+ How as the leader of the Green party, Dimitri can work toward peace and sustainability in the Middle East.

+ How can progressive political participation change Canada in both short and long term?

+ Overview of Dimitri's economic and environmental policies 

+ Any questions from the participants

The event is open to all (non Iranian-Canadians as well). We will aim to maximize the time that the participants get to ask Dimitri their questions.
