a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

On International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate exceptional women in our community including the incredible women in the Liberal caucus with whom I’m honoured to serve.

Something is consistently happening in Alberta right now

"Canada has long been complacent about foreign policy and national security: it could afford to neglect the pressures and incentives of the realities of power, comfortably sheltered as it was by a mostly benevolent United States."

2/ Here’s the truth: US-led regime change wars have brought devastation to the region. Democracy and stability will never come through foreign intervention and indiscriminate bombing.

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

The Fifth Column: How MAGA Is Using Alberta Separatism to Break Canada Apart Alberta’s separatist movement is not what it appears to be. Behind the cowboy hats and grievance speeches about equalization payments lies…

Behind the cowboy hats and grievance about equalization lies something far more serious: foreign influence, backed by the Trump government, aimed to use legitimate frustrations as a crowbar to split Canada and hand our oil, water, and minerals to the USA.

Carney calls for 'rapid de-escalation of hostilities' in the Middle East to protect innocent civilians | CBC

Carney said the U.S. and Israel have acted without consulting the UN and/or its allies, including #Canada, which has led to a growing conflict that is evolving quickly and threatening civilian lives. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

Trump’s 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.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & •58m Reports of Tehran's Gandhi Hospital being damaged during today's bombardment of the Iranian capital are extremely worrying. X @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, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited.

Ms Anand please read Lloyd Axworthy’s response to this aggression in The Star…very informative! #cdnpoli

Now the big leap:

“Keep the $23B and Alberta has a $14B surplus.”

This assumes Alberta would keep all federal taxes without taking on federal responsibilities.

That’s ridiculous.

Albertans pay more federal tax largely because average incomes are higher (especially in oil booms).

That’s progressive taxation at work.

High-income individuals and businesses everywhere are net contributors, including within Alberta itself.

Lloyd Axworthy, who wrote this opinion piece, ends with:

"In a world where preventive wars multiply and great powers act first and explain later, middle powers like Canada will someday wish they had defended the UN Charter when they still could."

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

Thank you Mr Axworthy for your clear-eyed analysis…#Canada should condemn this military aggression.. #cdnpoli

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"

I’m very disappointed in #Canada’s response… how can Canada support this co-ordinated aggression by Israel and USA? Many innocent lives were lost..

I cannot support this position; very disappointed in Canada’s response #cdnpoli

7/ My thoughts are with the people in Iran and around the world who are watching this unfold with heartbreak and uncertainty. 

The current attacks on Iran must stop now, before the entire region is plunged into conflict, death, and destruction.

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.
