“Based on the ratifications of relevant authorities, within the framework of related laws and sanctions mechanisms and as a reciprocal action, the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon place sanctions on American and Canadian individuals and institutions for their intentional measures to support terrorism and terror groups and to fuel and provoke terrorism, violence and hate-mongering, which have led to riots, violence, terror acts and violations of the Iranian nation’s rights,” he said in response to a question by reporters about the Ministry’s planned measures in retaliation for the recent sanctions by the US and Canada.

Following the recent riots in Iran, the United States and Canada, while issuing interventionist statements, imposed sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions on several occasions.

‘Truly disheartened’: First Nations say failed Olympic bid is a step back for reconciliation

First Nations say the decision by the B.C. government to not support an Indigenous-led bid for the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a step back for reconciliation.

This would have been the first Olympic bid led by an Indigenous group but the province said it could not support it.

They host the Olympics but we pay for it? That’s not “reconciliation” that’s a scam.

Poll: Most Americans Ever Say Crime Up in Their Neighborhood

Fifty-six percent of U.S. adults perceive more crime in their area than the year prior, the group’s latest poll found—a 5-point increase from 2021. The highest level the pollster previously recorded was 54 percent in 1981 and 1992.

Canada restricting foreign state-owned firms from critical mineral industry

The federal government is restricting the involvement of foreign state-owned companies in Canada’s critical minerals sector.

Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson say critical minerals are key to the country’s prosperity and security.

They say that is why Ottawa is rolling out new rules that will make it more difficult for companies owned or operated by foreign governments to buy or invest in the industry.

In other words they found a way to make their buddies rich.

MPs back motion calling on government to recognize residential schools program as genocide

Members of Parliament gave unanimous consent Thursday in favour of a motion calling on the federal government to recognize Canada’s residential schools as genocide.

Leah Gazan, the NDP member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre, introduced the motion following Question Period Thursday afternoon. Gazan brought forward a similar motion in June last year, but it did not receive unanimous consent.

That sets a pretty low bar.

Xi Jinping’s Rising Dictatorship May End Up Benefiting US

China’s leader steals the Communist Party’s show at its National Congress.

China’s 20th National Congress has concluded, and it was the Xi Jinping show. The Chinese Communist Party general secretary and Chinese president — the first role is by far his most important — reigned supreme, winning a third term and the opportunity to rule for life. He loaded the leadership with his flunkies, emptied Beijing of anyone not prepared to do a full forehead-to-floor kowtow when he enters the room, and avoided promoting anyone who could be considered a rival or even successor.

Return of Islamic State wives to Australia causes fear for those who escaped the brutality

Mohamed Ibrahim can barely bring himself to recall his run-in with so-called Islamic State fighters.

With tears in his eyes, the husband and father-of-three spoke about the eight militants who stopped his bus in Syria in late 2017 after living under IS rule for years, pressing a rifle to his cheek.

“I started to sweat. My heart was pounding,” Mr Ibrahim said.

Why have climate activists made temper tantrums their primary tactic?

Dumping milk onto floors. Hurling food onto walls. Refusing to eatGluing body parts. Throwing paintRefusing to leave. Threatening to pee and poop in your pants. Screaming accusations. Are those the behaviors of a toddler’s temper tantrum? Yes. But they’re also the dominant tactics of today’s climate activists.

Consider the case of Gianluca Grimalda. On October 19, Grimalda, along with 15 other members of a climate activist group called Scientist Rebellion, glued himself to the floor of the visitors center next to a Volkswagon factory in Germany. The VW security guards brought pizza to Grimalda and the other activist scientists, but Grimalda felt disrespected and so he declared a hunger strike in retaliation.

Denmark Leads the West to Immigration Sanity

Today in the West, no issue matters more than immigration policy, especially at a time when much of the world, from Mexicans to Nigerians to Pakistanis, wants to move to North America and Western Europe.

Controlling immigration has proven difficult because the political establishments in destination countries tend to view mass, unfettered, and unvetted immigration as a benign phenomenon. Two examples capture this outlook. In 2014, Sweden’s establishment parties, making up 86 percent of the parliament, joined forces to marginalize the civilizationist party (that is, the party focused on controlling immigration and demanding the integration of immigrants) with 14 percent. Angela Merkel, the establishment German chancellor, waved in over 1 million unvetted migrants, leading to a pan-European crisis in 2015-16.

Eighty years later, World War II is fading from historical memory

We’re losing touch with its lessons just as they struggled to commemorate the Civil War

With worries about inflation, the war in Ukraine, and tension over Taiwan, it’s easy for Americans to forget that we are now deep into the four-year period marking the eightieth anniversary of World War II. Last December marked eighty years since the day of infamy at Pearl Harbor, while this June passed the date of the critical victory at Midway. In a little less than two years, it will be eight decades since the greatest invasion in history, on D-Day. Soon after will follow commemorations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and both V-E and V-J Days. Each year, living memory of that global struggle continues to fade, with the passage of both time and the Greatest Generation.

Elon Musk and the great fear of free speech

Why even the hint of more liberty sends the woke set into meltdown.

So he’s done it. The richest man in the world and self-styled ‘free-speech absolutist’ has taken over Twitter. The bête noire of illiberal liberals has got his hands on social media. Cue meltdown. Listening to the woke set you’d be forgiven for thinking that the gates of hell had been flung open and every manner of evil and blasphemy will now pour forth. Twitter could become a ‘soap box for hate speech’, fretted one media outlet yesterday. It really is extraordinary how much some people fear freedom.
