Famous (and not-so-famous) entertainers are condemning President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran which have seemingly taken out its Islamist supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Many familiar characters reflexively called to impeach Trump: “Impeach the SOB,” author Stephen King wrote on social media.
CALGARY – The sun hangs low in the southern sky on a frigid Thursday in January, shining through the cloud cover, visible just above the peak of the big ski hill at WinSport Canada Olympic Park.
School-age kids on ski day field trips troop toward the lifts that will shuttle them up the slope. By 10 a.m. the big hill is buzzing with activity, but the park, which attracts roughly 1.2 million visitors a year, will be even busier tonight, when kids get out of school and adults finish work.
Same goes for the World Cup which Toronto slipped past voters when they weren’t looking.
Europe knew this may be coming. For weeks, leaders and policy makers watched the US military build-up in the Middle East. They heard the threats of the Trump administration to Tehran: Give up all nuclear aspirations – or else!
But since the US-Israeli attack started on Iran three days ago, this continent has looked at best uncoordinated, if not fractured and decidedly without leverage, caught up in the maelstrom of events.
Each European country is understandably angsting about its citizens in the region – whether and how they may need to evacuate what would be tens of thousands of people in total.
They fear the Muslims they have allowed to settle.
Between February 18 and 23, 2026, Abacus Data surveyed 1,500 Canadian adults to understand how Canadians view Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to dealing with President Donald Trump and how they see the risks and stakes as the 2026 CUSMA joint review approaches.
The results point to a striking and potentially underappreciated dynamic.
Israeli forces “flattened” a building where Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts had gathered to select the regime’s next supreme leader, according to Israeli officials and regional reports.
An hour ago, the building of the Assembly of Experts in Qom was reportedly destroyed in an airstrike.
Sources say the session to choose Iran’s next leader had been moved there after the main building in Tehran was previously targeted.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — Canada’s defence minister says the Liberal party is a “big tent” as divisions emerge over its decision to back the U.S. strikes against Iran, calling its supreme leader who was killed in the assaults a “force for evil.”
David McGuinty travelled to Australia alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney on the second part of a three-part trip to India, Australia and Japan to drum up new investments into Canada. Carney is set over the next few days to meet with Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who also offered his support for the strikes.
Liberal MP criticizes Mark Carney’s support for U.S. attack on Iran
OTTAWA — A Liberal MP has broken ranks with Prime Minister Mark Carney over his support for deadly U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, arguing Canada “cannot endorse the unilateral and illegal use of military force” while insisting its own sovereignty must be respected.
In a weekend social media video that was “liked” by a handful of other Liberal MPs, rookie Victoria MP Will Greaves said Carney’s support for the strikes, which killed Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and sparked an escalated Middle East conflict, “feels different” from the prime minister’s Davos declaration of a Canadian foreign policy rooted in “independence, consistency and principled pragmatism.”
I like how the Star picks a lone White guy when you know the LPC’s Muslim caucus is what drives the “dissent”
Iran had failed on every front, but its supreme leader kept bluffing. He didn’t fool Trump.
This is the ayatollah’s war. Now as in June, the pileup of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s mistakes served President Trump a strategic opportunity too inviting to pass up. On Saturday, Khamenei paid with his life.
The proximate error came during negotiations, in which Iran all but announced it still wants to pursue nuclear weapons. What else was Mr. Trump supposed to conclude from Iran’s evasions?
No more domestic enrichment of uranium for nuclear fuel, the president said. This was hardly unreasonable; 23 nations operate nuclear power programs by importing enriched uranium. U.S. negotiators even offered to provide Iran the fuel free of charge, a senior administration official said Saturday. Iran balked. Despite vast oil reserves, Iran claimed to need nuclear power and its own enrichment program. For this, it would risk everything.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has touched down on Tuesday in Sydney, Australia — the next stop on his Indo-Pacific tour aimed at shoring up investment in Canada and building new trade alliances.
On the agenda is a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, a leader with whom Carney shares much common ground.
Carney will also address Australia’s parliament, becoming the first Canadian prime minister to do so in nearly 20 years. His remarks are expected to echo the themes of his widely noted speech in Davos, which urged “middle powers” to stand together.
President Emmanuel Macron of France has persistently called for Europe to act decisively to defend itself and its own interests in a world where Russia is on the march, China is economically aggressive and the United States is turning away.
Mr. Macron first talked of the need for European strategic “autonomy” in 2017. In the last year, with trans-Atlantic relations spinning downward, Europeans seem to have heard the message: They need to do more and spend more in their own defense.
But there is a built-in political problem. Germany is already spending much more money than its European partners, according to military spending trackers, like that of the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based research organization. After years of aversion to war because of its history and a hope that the collapse of the Soviet Union would bring about a more peaceful world, the German military had shrunk badly.
The wife of a former UN diplomat disappeared three years ago in Peel. Now, it’s being investigated as a homicide
… The month prior, Aini had attended a hospital in Queens with injuries to the side of her face. There, hospital staff “appeared to have had concerns” about whether Aini’s injuries were inflicted by Mohammad. With the help of an interpreter, Aini denied that her husband had harmed her when asked by staff. He later claimed she had “tripped on a broom” and fell.
The Islamic radical who shot up an Austin bar had a history of spewing hateful messages online — including calling conservative women “wh–es” and praising the Islamic revolution as “eternal.”
The unhinged social media posts apparently tied to Ndiaga Diagne surfaced after the 53-year-old Senegalese national was killed by cops on Sunday after he embarked on a murderous rampage that left three people dead and wounded more than a dozen at a packed Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden.
When Mayor Olivia Chow visited 500 Dawes Rd. last July, she assured tenants of the 14-storey East York residential building notorious for property standards violations that the city would take action.
The following month, the mayor took to Facebook to share her grievances, highlighting that “when landlords refuse to act over and over, the city can step in, take on the repairs directly, and charge it back to the landlord.
“It’s time to fix what’s broken,” she added.
Increasingly, countries that were once U.S. allies are aligning themselves with America’s enemies.
he signs were obvious two decades ago, and the insightful Mark Steyn—the conservative Canadian author—addressed them then. In numerous books, written in his sharp, convincing style, he warned that America would soon become isolated in its fight against Islamist jihad. Today, that loneliness appears to be fully realized.
Toronto police are investigating after a synagogue in North York was struck by gunfire late Monday night.
Officers were called to Temple Emanu-El, which is just south of Bayview Avenue and Highway 401, for reports of gunshots being fired.
How will the war in Iran end? The scenarios explained
President Trump has threatened to send troops into Iran, raising the prospect of a full-blown regime change operation such as that which the US carried out in Iraq, and which he had previously promised to avoid.
Trump has sent conflicting messages since the start of the joint US-Israeli operation against Iran on Saturday morning, at times suggesting it could last just a few days and at others saying he is prepared to continue bombing for four or five weeks or even longer. His interview with the New York Post on Monday was the first time he had raised the possibility of “boots on the ground”.
BREAKING – Democrats are now marching through the streets of NYC carrying signs mourning Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, while chanting “globalize the intifada” and encouraging Muslims to rise up against the West.
