Khosro Isfahani, the research director for the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), described Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtada Khomenei, in a rather unflattering manner.

Conservative campaign manager shrugs off polls showing Liberals have significant lead
The federal Conservative Party’s campaign manager is shrugging off polls showing the Liberals hold a double-digit lead over the Tories — while Pierre Poilievre says he’s broadening his image but won’t change who he is.
“Polls are polls, and they do what polls do,” Steve Outhouse said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live that aired Sunday morning. “What you need to do, if you’re talking about the long game, is to not worry about them on a day-to-day basis.”
Over the last month, several national pollsters — including Leger, Abacus Data and Nanos Research — have found the Liberals leading the Conservatives by at least 10 points
Lucky all the same …

As mayor of Vaughan, I’m urging Mark Carney to meet our Jewish community
I have an urgent request for Prime Minister Mark Carney: please come to Vaughan, Ont., to meet with our Jewish community.
As Vaughan’s mayor, I want you to know that Jews here feel angry, scared, defiant, tired, shocked and beleaguered. Who can blame them? I’ve lived my entire life in this country, but I have never before witnessed the shocking levels of antisemitism and Jew hatred we now see so regularly. I never imagined I would. Not here. Not in Canada.
Del Duca is lying.
He supported the Liberal Party and that means he supported their immigration policy that opened the floodgates to incompatible cultures like Islam.
I have no doubt he would smear anyone who opposed the death cult as an Islamophobe and a racist.
I hate that these pols are trying to wash their hands of responsibility.
Americans Replacing Americans: Fleeing Diversity And Threatening Regional Identities
Mass immigration and internal flight are dissolving America’s historic state identities, replacing rooted communities with transient populations and accelerating cultural and political upheaval.
Prior to the era of post-1965 mass immigration, America was not a “diverse” country by modern standards. White and black Americans averaged 87 percent and 12 percent of the population, respectively, from the founding of Jamestown until the 1970s—more than 300 years of uninterrupted demographic stability. There was some internal diversity in the white American population, though this diversity was largely dealt with by rapid integration that often took less than a generation—two generations at most.
Toronto considers micro-shelter communities to tackle homelessness
Micro-shelter communities are being floated as one way to provide emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto.
However, some challenges have emerged, as 44 city-owned properties identified for potential sites have all been deemed unsuitable.
Nonetheless, the City of Toronto is moving forward with a two-year pilot, with the caveat that interested non-profits must come up with private land options.
Iran says it will ‘irreversibly destroy’ Middle East infrastructure if US attacks energy sites
Tehran has said it will “irreversibly destroy” essential infrastructure across the Middle East if the US attacks its energy sites, hours after Donald Trump threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants unless the strait of Hormuz was opened within two days.
As Iranian missiles struck two southern Israeli cities overnight, injuring dozens of people and shattering apartment buildings, the developments signalled a dangerous potential escalation of the war in the Middle East, which is now in its fourth week.

A secularism law some women say makes them feel like ‘outsiders’ heads to Canada’s top court
Since 2019, a secularism law in Quebec has barred some public sector workers, like judges, police officers and teachers, from wearing religious attire at work. Now, the country’s highest court is preparing to consider its future.
Lisa Robicheau describes her life as “stuck between a rock and a hard place”.
The 41-year-old single mother of two, who wears a hijab, works in Montreal’s English-language school system as a contract support worker for students with disabilities – a job she loves and where she is exempt from the current law.
‘I’ve seen the devil’: Brazil’s UFO capital marks 30 years since ‘alien encounter’
The skies over this far-flung coffee-growing hub went charcoal black, the heavens opened and one of Brazil’s greatest mysteries was born.
“It really was something unique,” recalls Marco Antônio Reis, a zoo director, who was at his ranch outside Varginha one stormy day in January 1996 when, he says, an otherworldly creature came to town.
I watched the James Fox film and admire his work but frankly remain unconvinced of this particular event. They have to show the aliens or give it up.
Michael Taube: Avi Lewis may be next NDP leader, but his party will remain irrelevant
Most political observers believe that Avi Lewis will become the next federal NDP leader on March 29. It appears the far-left activist and former TV host/journalist may have also found a path to political success in Ottawa that his party could only dream of right now.
A recent Mainstreet Research poll suggested that Lewis, if he became NDP leader, would have a legitimate shot of winning the federal Beaches-East York riding if it becomes vacant. The seat is currently held by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. He’s considering running for the Ontario Liberal leadership and the forthcoming Scarborough Southwest provincial by-election. If Erskine-Smith takes the provincial plunge and resigns his federal seat, Lewis would likely jump at the chance to become the riding’s next MP based on the poll’s findings.
They’re all crazy that I can see.
Why Syria’s new alcohol ban is about much more than beer
This week, municipal authorities in Damascus banned the sale of alcohol in most of the city. Bars and restaurants that have served alcohol there for decades will no longer be allowed to, and it will only be possible to buy alcohol in closed bottles in a handful of Christian-majority neighborhoods, to take away.
This isn’t all that unusual in the Middle East — practicing Muslims are not supposed to imbibe “intoxicating” substances while individuals of the Christian faith may. That is why liquor stores and bars, if there are any, are often found in traditionally Christian neighborhoods around the region.
Carney meets world: Is prime minister a more international job now?
In his first year as prime minister, Mark Carney was restless.
Two days after being sworn in at Rideau Hall, he made official visits to France and the United Kingdom. Shortly thereafter he went into a five-week election campaign, and a week after last spring’s vote he travelled to Washington.
I’m pretty sure he just hates Canada and Canadians.
Iran has the missiles to hit London, Israel claims
Two missiles launched by Iran at a British military base in Diego Garcia — believed to be the furthest Iran has fired — were a warning message to Europe, diplomatic and intelligence sources have told The Sunday Times.
Sir Keir Starmer condemned Iran for “lashing out” after Tehran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles towards Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean located roughly as far from Iran as London or Paris.
❗️The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km.

Race played a role in Ontario drug dealer’s sentencing: ‘This somewhat attenuates his moral responsibility’
A judge took a Toronto drug dealer’s race into account when he sentenced him for trafficking and possessing a loaded handgun while under a court-ordered firearm prohibition.
The judge was persuaded that Brandon Caleb’s “life experiences flowing from his societal disadvantage and anti-Black racism normalized gun possession in his mind,” said the recent decision. “This somewhat attenuates his moral responsibility.”
Israel hits Iran with MASSIVE air strike as ammuniton dump is blown sky-high in hit on air base
A massive air strike by Israeli-US forces has hit an Iranian airbase, triggering a huge explosion which blew an ammunition store sky high.
The hit appears to have taken place at the Vahdati Air Base in the western Iranian city of Dezful, in Khuzestan province, on Saturday.
Video footage shows a huge ball of smoke rising above the edge of the city following an explosion
