What the Pro-Iran Protests Reveal About Foreign Influence

Questions of outside funding surround the ANSWER Coalition’s protest network

The American strikes on Iran have opened both a new military front abroad and an old front at home. Mere hours after the bombs began to fall, leftist activists took to the streets with signs and chants denouncing American “imperialism” and demanding “Hands off Iran” and “No New US War In The Middle East.”

It’s no coincidence that these protests bear similarities with the sometimes-violent anti-ICE, pro-Cuba, anti-Israel, and pro-Maduro rallies that have dotted the country in recent months. Behind many of these disruptions is the ANSWER Coalition—Act Now to Stop War and End Racism—an umbrella organization composed of various far-left groups.

Hamas Crimes No One Talks About

As international attention is focused on the Iran war, the Palestinian Hamas terror group has stepped up its crackdown on the Palestinian people as part of its effort to reassert its control aggressively over the Gaza Strip.

Hamas’s measures are in violation of US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the Israel-Hamas war, which erupted on October 7, 2023 when the Iran-backed terror group invaded Israel and murdered more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals.

Canadians Worry Middle Class or Future Generations Will Bear Cost of Government Deficits: Poll

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians are apprehensive about surging government deficits, and many worry middle-class taxpayers or future generations will have to shoulder the responsibility for public overspending, a new survey suggests.

Seventy-one percent of respondents to a recent Leger poll say they worry that Ottawa, as well as several provinces, are exceeding their financial resource limits even as trade tensions with the U.S. and other challenges threaten Canada’s economy.

Only 19 percent of survey-takers said they had no concerns, while 10 percent said they were uncertain.

They’ve been terrorized by home invasions. Now these Toronto residents are considering ‘virtual gated communities’

Julia Nuttall will never forget the terror and helplessness of huddling in a closet with her three children in their Lawrence Park home in early December.

It was 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when the family heard banging. Downstairs, intruders had smashed the glass of her front door. She gathered her children and called 911 as her husband went to confront the burglars, screaming at them down the stairs.

Merkel Blasted for Calling on Migrants to Vote Against Populist AfD Party

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has drawn criticism for calling on migrants in Germany to vote against the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Merkel, who served as the architect of the European Migrant Crisis in 2015, when she unilaterally decided to open the EU’s borders to unprecedented waves of foreigners from the Middle East and Africa, resulting in dramatic demographic transformations in her country and across the continent, appears to have let the cat out of the bag as to her motivation for doing so.

Poilievre’s call for better economic ties with U.S. is out of step with Canadians

HALIFAX—Whatever you may think about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s chances of becoming prime minister—the proverbial snowball in hell comes to mind—he keeps trying to find a way to stay in the game against Mark Carney.

It is no easy task. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s lead over Poilievre in the polls keeps growing, recently hitting 13 points. If that spread were to hold in an election, it would be a debacle for the Conservatives.

Rumours persist that more Conservative MPs may be planning to join the handful of former colleagues who’ve already defected to the Liberals.

Some Canadians find it perfectly in step … and that number will only increase as more awaken to the rape of Canada by Carney and his Brookfield pals.

More Mexicans were deported annually under Biden than by Trump

MEXICO CITY — The Trump administration has launched an unprecedented immigration enforcement operation across the U.S. to deport people there illegally, but data compiled by a Mexican investigative outlet show that deportations of Mexicans were lower last year than in each of the previous four years.

Under the Biden administration, deportations of Mexicans per year reached nearly 300,000. Since President Trump returned to the White House last January, the U.S. has deported a little over 144,000 Mexicans to their homeland by the end of 2025, according to Mexican government data.

‘For the victims of Epstein Island’: Iran’s propaganda machine in overdrive

Hundreds of American soldiers have been captured across the Gulf. US military bases throughout the region lie in ruins. Benjamin Netanyahu is dead or gravely wounded.

Washington officials are begging for a ceasefire while the US loses control of a war that will not end until Iran says so.

Relentless Iranian missile strikes are smashing Israel while enemies plead for mercy, and the US strike groups are rendered non-functional and forced to retreat after being hit with missiles.

Carney and Starmer meet amid deepening Middle East crisis

The war in the Middle East, the fear that it could escalate and the economic consequences were top of mind as Prime Minister Mark Carney met his British counterpart Monday in the United Kingdom at the tail of a whirlwind trip to Europe.

Carney met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London, where the two leaders discussed the ongoing military operations of the United States, Israel and Iran and the closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz.

An official statement from Carney’s office following the meeting said that both Canada and the U.K. condemned Iran’s missile and drone attacks, including on civilian and energy infrastructure.

Cubans Intensify Protests After Sundown, Protected by the Night and Blackouts

When the sun sets, a growing number of Cubans are banging pots in protest against an authoritarian regime they blame for dire living conditions. In one town, residents sacked the headquarters of the ruling Communist Party, making a bonfire with the office furniture on Saturday.

“Libertad, libertad,” shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba’s northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media.
