TORONTO — A Chinese-language website named in federal documents at Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission — in connection with a disinformation campaign that targeted Conservative MP Kenny Chiu in the days before the 2021 federal election — has published an anonymous op-ed circulating speculation that Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to appoint floor-crossing MP Michael Ma as Canada’s next ambassador to China.
So let me get this straight, the United States and Israel bombed Iran today and the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are all mad at Iran because Iran fired missiles at them in retaliation.
Iran fired at them because the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan host American military installations. Also, Israel’s Iron Dome protects the Holy Lands so well that Iran refused to waste ammunition.
The shift in allegiance surprises only people who paid no attention to President Trump’s diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, which enabled today’s attack.
The world has spent $16 trillion fighting climate change with little to show for it
The premier defector from, and debunker of, the “Green Terror,” which holds that climate change is an existential challenge to the continuation of life on earth, is probably Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre and former director of the Danish government’s Environmental Assessment Institute. He has been a prominent climate change skeptic for years, and has roiled the waters by pointing out the mistaken warnings of climate alarmists. Many of them predicted the onset of unlivable circumstances in much of the world long before now, as a result of unrestrained carbon use.
The decision by the United States and Israel to plunge into a new war with Iran creates a highly dangerous moment with unpredictable consequences. Israel used the word “pre-emptive” to justify its attack.
The evidence is that this is not a response to an imminent threat, which the word pre-emption implies. Instead, it is a war of choice.
Israel and the United States have calculated that the Islamic regime in Iran is vulnerable; dealing with a severe economic crisis, the fallout from the brutal crackdown on protesters at the start of the year and with defences still badly damaged by last summer’s war. Their conclusion seems to have been that this was an opportunity that should not be squandered.
As the President stated, our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.

In Health Canada’s most recent annual Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) report of 2024, of the 15,927 patients who disclosed their race, 96% were white — so, one has to wonder, is this some sort of trend?
And if it is, what’s causing it?
This is what Peter Frost, an independent researcher with a PhD in anthropology, tried to find.
The woman who was jailed and threatened with stoning for wearing a T-shirt saying ‘Allah is a lesbian’ now faces having her arm amputated as her health continues to deteriorate in Moroccan prison.
Ibtissame ‘Betty’ Lachgar, a feminist activist, was jailed last September and sentenced to two and a half years in prison for a Facebook post in which she wore the garment, on the grounds that it was ‘offensive to Islam’.
The 50-year-old campaigner is a bone cancer survivor with a prothesis between her left shoulder and elbow, and has sustained a fractured elbow during her time so far in Salé prison, located on the outskirts of Rabat.
In Iran, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have opted to play regime change roulette.
They are wagering with the lives of civilians in Iran, Israel, and the Gulf countries. They risk embroiling American and Israeli forces into yet another forever war, a military operation with no clear objectives and no way to truly win. And they do so with no clear plan, purpose, or objective.
This bet may yet pay off. These strikes could paralyze the Iranian state enough that the people may seize power from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as Trump has called them to do.

Patience with diplomacy has expired, and a major military onslaught against Iran has started. As with any strategy for victory, the military means will need to be matched to achievable ends.
It seems from the outset that President Trump is setting the most ambitious objective: toppling the Islamic regime of the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Announcing the strikes on Saturday, he talked about the regime’s “unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder” against the US and its allies, as well as telling Iranians, “your hour of freedom is at hand”.

The very heart of the West is unstable, broke and impotent. What does this mean for the world – and Canada?
There’s a psychological concept called the sad-clown paradox. That those who try to bring joy and make us feel better, who seem unflappable, carry deep sorrow inside.
In one famous joke, a depressed man is told to see the clown Pagliacci. The patient responds, “But doctor, you don’t understand. I am Pagliacci.” Ali G, the comedic character, says of the burger mascot Ronald McDonald: “Even though him [sic] may seem like he’s always smiling, there’s a sadness in the eyes.”
Such were European leaders at the Munich Security Conference this month, the world’s premier geopolitics summit, where the elders of the Old World spent a weekend telling everyone it was all going to be okay.
Mr. Trump has said Europe faces “civilizational erasure” because it has “gone woke” on migration and climate change and because of its alleged suppression of populist voices. He both misdiagnoses the problem and presents questionable evidence.
The article is the old order grasping for relevance and finding all it can do is complain about Trump.
The U.S.-Israel-led strikes on Iran started overnight and are probably going to continue for some time. Both Canada and Australia have issued statements in support of the strikes, but there has been objections from others.
Germany, France, and the U.K. are calling for a restoration of negotiations following the strikes, with French President Macron saying the operation “carries grave consequences for international peace and security.”
I am surprised carney came out in support of the Iran strike.

During a January visit to Beijing, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a sharp cut to tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, opening the door to 49,000 imports a year and sparking a debate over trade, security and Canada’s auto future.
Brian Kingston, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, argues the decision risks Canada’s most important trade relationship and undermines domestic manufacturing. Heather Exner-Pirot, senior fellow and director of energy, natural resources and environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, counters that the tradeoff is justified to diversify export markets and support Canada’s agricultural and oil and gas sectors.

If allegations of ‘family voting’ taking place at Thursday’s Gorton and Denton by-election prove substantiated, the incidents will not only mark a grave infraction of the law, they will give further weight to the fear that this country is becoming perilously fragmented, terminally Balkanised and mired in sectarianism.
Polling had scarcely closed when, a few minutes after 10 p.m., Sam Coates of Sky News posted on X intelligence related to him by a team from Democracy Volunteers, a group of voluntary election observers, in which they claimed to have witnessed a total of 32 cases of family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations in the constituency. Speaking that night, John Ault, the director of Democracy Volunteers, said: ‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10-year history of observing elections in the UK.’
