Iranian-Canadians flock to Ottawa embassy to vote

Iranian-Canadians flock to Ottawa embassy to vote:

OTTAWA — Hundreds of Iranian-Canadians lined up at the country's embassy in downtown Ottawa to vote in its presidential election Friday, seemingly almost all hoping to produce a change in Iran's hardline leadership.

The embassy is the only place in Canada where eligible Iranian voters can cast ballots, and busloads of them arrived throughout the morning from Toronto, Montreal and beyond, with up to 300 waiting in line at a time.
