(Bloomberg) — US President Donald Trump demanded Iran surrender as the war on the Islamic Republic raged for a seventh day, with the impact reverberating across global supply chains and energy markets.
Washington doesn’t want to negotiate an end to the conflict and will only accept “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.
Last weekend it became known that the Federal Government had signed an aboriginal rights agreement with the Musqueam First Nation, which acknowledged rights and title “within” a large area encompassing most of Metro Vancouver. This bilateral agreement between the Carney government and the Musqueam sets out their shared intention to “negotiate” Aboriginal title for the Musqueam within their vast claimed territory using the principles of UNDRIP as their lodestar.
Even those who thought they had seen it all before said they had seen nothing like it. Iran is a country used to suffering. Older generations lived through the bombing and gassing of the war with Iraq in the 1980s.
In recent years there have been sanctions, economic chaos and military action in the name of the Axis of Resistance which took countless young Iranian lives.
But what the world’s two most sophisticated air forces, those of America and Israel, could achieve when working in concert was yet to be fully demonstrated.
Donald Trump has described Sir Keir Starmer as “a loser” in conversations with friends, The Telegraph can disclose.
The US president was talking at a private dinner within the past fortnight when he dismissed Sir Keir with his most derogatory term yet.
A source told The Telegraph: “Trump has started calling Starmer a loser. He said it at a dinner with friends. He just thinks Starmer has no future any more.”

OTTAWA — Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Jennie Carignan said she will be meeting with her European counterparts on Friday morning to discuss military options to support Gulf states. But Carignan ruled out any Canadian military involvement in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
“We are not talking about participating to Epic Fury, per se, this is not the mission that we are considering,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence on Thursday.

What military options? It’s doubtful the CAF could put down a sewing circle at this point.

Is the Iranian Regime Cracking? Police, Soldiers, and Even IRGC Members Not Showing Up to Work
Is this report real, or Israeli disinformation to create a cascade of defections from the regime’s coercive apparatus?
At this point, it is hard to say, but the reports that police, soldiers, and IRGC thugs are opting out of risking their lives to protect a regime that is in deep trouble and getting killed at an astonishing rate are certainly plausible.

A few days ago, I was driving through downtown Memphis to go to dinner with my wife when we passed a group of National Guard soldiers out on patrol. This has become an altogether frequent and welcome sight here in Bluff City, and the Guard’s positive effect has been widely felt.
There’s been a lot of national discussion and commentary about the presence of soldiers in our city, but the truth is clear for those here on the ground. Walk around Memphis today and the community feels transformed.

Canadians have long enjoyed vacations on Cuba’s pristine beaches and at its all-inclusive resorts. And why not? The country has warm weather that’s not far away, at an affordable cost. That’s why Canada is consistently the top source country for tourism to Cuba.
Holy shit, my sides hurt🤣🤣🤣
This is the best thing I’ve seen all year. I can’t breathe 💀🤣💀🤣 pic.twitter.com/4VjUNqe6Wa

A study released by the Montreal Economic Institute estimates the federal government’s “Buy Canadian” policy could increase the cost of large infrastructure projects by more than $12 billion per year.
The study states that, among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, total expenditures on public procurement accounted for 12.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2021.
Ofcom has confirmed it is referring 4chan to a final enforcement decision under the Online Safety Act. The target is a Delaware company that runs an entirely anonymous imageboard from the United States, with no offices, staff, servers or assets in Britain. The demand: install age-verification systems and content filters so that British children cannot access the site or face daily fines levied from London on an American platform. This case is not an outlier. It is the clearest real-world demonstration of what the new generation of “online safety” laws requires: private companies must build automated filters that decide, in advance, which legal speech is too harmful for minors to see. The question the regulators never quite answer is simple: what exactly does the filter catch?
