Donald Trump is considering plans to assassinate the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei among the military options for a strike on Iran.
The US president has reportedly been presented with a decapitation campaign against the leadership of the Islamic Republic, with Mojtaba Khamenei on the list alongside his father.
The supreme leader’s 55-year-old son had been thought his most likely successor, benefiting from close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp, a powerful branch of the armed forces that has been designated a terrorist entity by the United States.
George Orwell’s dystopian vision of the future, 1984, was supposed to be a warning about the dangers of dictatorship and the loss of objective truth, not a guidebook on how to achieve it.
That said, in Canadian politics these days, one of the primary tools used by Orwell’s all-powerful government of Oceania known simply as “The Party” – “doublethink” or the ability to hold two contradictory views at the same time – is on full display.
In 2024, the Norwegian government, probably a little sheepishly, notified the CIA of the results of a bizarre and highly classified test. One of their scientists had constructed a prototype of a theoretical type of weapon which was, in fact, built specifically to prove its harmlessness, of which he was so confident he tested it on himself. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a great idea. He ended up demonstrating the opposite when, soon after exposure, he started to experience neurological symptoms characteristic of what has become widely known as “Havana Syndrome”.
Havana Syndrome was coined to describe anomalous health incidents (AHIs) in 2016 after a staff member in the US embassy in the Cuban capital suffered unexplained and debilitating symptoms after hearing a piercing noise. Its symptoms include problems with memory and concentration, headaches, persistent pain, nausea and vertigo, and problems with eyesight and hearing.
For Canadians, the United States Supreme Court ruling on Friday striking down many of President Trump’s tariffs changes very little.
A 35 percent tariff on most Canadian exports to the United States was put in place last year, and that tariff has now been struck down.
It was brought in because Mr. Trump claimed, all evidence to the contrary, that vast quantities of fentanyl and large numbers of migrants were crossing into the United States from Canada.
When an attorney has to declare about his client that “so many people” in the jury pool “hate him so much,” you know voir dire isn’t going well.That’s exactly what happened this week in a San Francisco federal courtroom, where picking nine impartial jurors to hear a securities fraud case against billionaire Elon Musk turned into a five-hour marathon of bias and contempt.Federal Judge Charles R. Breyer was forced to dismiss more than 40 prospective jurors — nearly half the 93-person pool — after they admitted they simply couldn’t set aside their strong negative feelings about the billionaire tech CEO, Bloomberg Law reported.
Canada is turning its armed forces over to foreign mercenaries. What could go wrong?
A new age of ‘total war’ may be approaching. What would it mean for a generation of young, fighting-age Canadians to be thrust into a military conflict? For that, we look to Ukraine
Around this time of year, Grade 12 students across the country are starting to hear back about their university applications. For many, an acceptance letter represents the pinnacle of a long and arduous process – not only the countless hours of studying and prepping for exams, but also the gauntlet of sports practices, music lessons and volunteer hours that fill out the applicant’s extracurricular profile.
University admissions are but one milestone in a larger social script – one that reflects our assumptions about what it means to “make it” in contemporary society. It’s a familiar script, whose story beats are the stuff of a thousand bank advertisements: convocations, starter jobs and starter homes, painting a baby’s room, a luxury car, a long stretch of golden years, laughter on a beach.
I doubt many will sign up and Ukraine is not exactly a role model.

Avi Lewis says he will push for government-run grocery stores, telecom services, and banking in Canada if he becomes the next NDP leader.

He said his campaign has promoted the “essential role of public ownership” in Canada and noted that, in addition to public health care and child care, he would like to see a similar option for groceries and phone and internet services.
You are a moron engaged in vote whoring from incompatible cultures and have chosen to lie about the harm mass immigration has inflicted upon ordinary Canadians the very people you claim to represent. It is you who is the danger to Canadians.

Police have been accused of turning a blind eye to the spread of sharia courts in Britain.
Newly released Government figures show that less than 3 per cent of so-called “honour crimes” were successfully prosecuted last year.
