What we know about the Iran plane crash victims who were headed to Canada

They were dentists and doctors, whole families with small children, a newlywed couple and students returning from holidays.

Many were academics and professors, pursuing careers in engineering, computer science, business and finance.

They were among the people with connections to Canada who were killed when Flight PS752 crashed Wednesday shortly after taking off from Tehran's main airport on its way to Kyiv. All 176 people aboard were killed, including 63 Canadians.

They had roots across the country, in six provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

He could so accelerate this to go after Iran and it looks like he totally backed off.
