Trumpβs attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.

Reports of Tehran's Gandhi Hospital being damaged during today's bombardment of the Iranian capital are extremely worrying.

@WHO is working to verify the incident. But it serves as a reminder that all efforts must be taken to prevent health facilities from being caught up in the ongoing conflict.
Health facilities are protected under international humanitarian law.
Health is #NotATarget
+ The UN education agency, UNESCO, says that the bombing of a primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law.

The math doesn't lie.
Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them.
Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, sheβs pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

Now the big leap:
βKeep the $23B and Alberta has a $14B surplus.β
This assumes Alberta would keep all federal taxes without taking on federal responsibilities.
Thatβs ridiculous.

Albertans pay more federal tax largely because average incomes are higher (especially in oil booms).
Thatβs progressive taxation at work.
High-income individuals and businesses everywhere are net contributors, including within Alberta itself.

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

NDP statement on
Iran bombings
Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP
Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement:
"The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran.
This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one.
The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's
administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."
Here is @ndp.caβs statement condemning US-Israeli military strikes in Iran and calling on the Carney government to defend international law

Danielle Smith is doubling the debt, with nothing to show for it.
The UCP squandered Albertaβs near-record resource wealth and still produced a $9.4 -billion deficitβa failure of basic financial management.
Somehow, under some of strongest economic conditions in a generation, life is going to cost you more.
