Iran ‘ready to spill American blood — even at a huge cost’

From his secret bunker last June, as Israeli missiles rained down on Tehran, Iran’s supreme leader issued an instruction he had never given before: to prepare for his succession. With the threat of decapitation strikes hanging over him, Ayatollah Khamenei drew up a secret list of three clerics who could take his place and told his assembly of experts to choose between them if he was killed.

It was the first of several key lessons the Islamic regime would take from that war as the prospect of another now looms. Khamenei also picked four layers of succession for all the military and civilian leaders he personally appoints: others beyond that circle were ordered to name their own four rungs of replacements.

Let’s just buy the F-35s and not cut off our nose to spite our face

Canadian anger toward U.S. President Donald Trump is understandable, but there is a real risk that this leads to poor policy choices. A case in point is the growing pressure to revisit the decision to buy a fleet of American F-35 fighter jets.

In economics, we think that governments should set policy goals, then decide how many workers to employ and how much capital equipment to use in order to achieve those goals at as low a cost as possible. A key goal underlying the decision to buy fighter jets is to protect Canada from military intervention by hostile countries. Swedish Gripen fighter jets are less costly, but also less militarily effective than the F-35s. Given this cost difference, the key question is whether the policy goal of keeping Canada safe from foreign aggression can be achieved using Gripens instead of F-35s.

High speed rail project called ‘sexy’ but $90 billion price tag raises red flags

The head of the Crown corporation behind Ottawa’s proposed high speed rail corridor admits the project is “sexy” — but concedes Canadians have reason to be wary of a venture that could cost as much as $90 billion.

Blacklock’s Reporter says appearing before the Senate national finance committee, Martin Imbleau, CEO of Alto — the renamed VIA High Frequency Rail corporation — acknowledged public skepticism over whether the federal government can deliver the massive infrastructure build on time and on budget.

Disaster is written all over this pipe dream.

Adam Zivo: Harm-reduction advocates gaslighting Canadians about ‘safe supply’

If gaslighting were an Olympic sport, harm-reduction activists would be buried in gold medals.

For many years, they claimed that there are no real downsides to “safer supply” — an experimental initiative that gives addicts free recreational drugs to dissuade use of riskier street substances. When media reports emerged that these drugs were regularly being diverted to the black market, harm reductionists stridently dismissed them as right-wing disinformation.

U.S. Defeats Authoritarian Communists On The Ice, Again

The United States didn’t just win a hockey game this weekend; it had another miracle on ice. Forty-six years ago, exactly, the U.S. men’s hockey team beat the Soviet Union and went on to win the Olympic gold medal. This victory symbolized American resolve amid a prolonged Cold War and a decades-long ideological battle against communism. Nine years later, the Berlin Wall fell, and soon afterward, the Soviet Union collapsed.

While Canada is no Soviet Union, the United States under President Trump is once again demonstrating what freedom looks like. For decades, the Western elite, which includes Canada, has been on what F.A. Hayek referred to as the “Road to Serfdom.” According to Hayek, the more control the government has over the economy, the less liberty there will be. Like our Founding Fathers, Hayek believed that the government itself posed the greatest threat to individual liberty.

The Greens’ shameless embrace of Islamic sectarianism

Appealing almost solely to Muslim voters might seem like a strange way for a major party to go about winning a by-election in Manchester. Producing adverts in Urdu, the native language of Pakistan, might be considered even odder. Yet, to prove that nothing is too strange for British politics in 2026, that is exactly what the Green Party has done in a recent campaign video.

Indigenous Ontario killer swaps life sentence for one at ‘the very low end of the range’

An Indigenous Ontario man has swapped a life sentence for 12 years in prison for killing a disabled drug dealer.

Kenneth Morrison was convicted of first-degree murder for his role in the July 7, 2018, home invasion in Kitchener, Ont., that left Shaun Yorke, 46, dead with a bullet in his chest. Morrison and an accomplice were both sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. But Morrison successfully appealed his case to Ontario’s top court, which set aside his murder conviction, substituted a conviction for manslaughter, and sentenced him again.
