Mezhgan Aini was missing for three years, but no one knew it. Well, almost no one.
Peel Regional Police said they believe the mysterious vanishing of the Mississauga mom was a homicide.

Iran’s Long Arm: Sleeper Cells, Criminal Proxies, and the Asymmetric Threat Already Inside North America
WASHINGTON / OTTAWA — Even as kinetic strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure have devastated the Islamic Republic’s conventional capabilities, a more shadowy threat remains intact and potentially primed for reactivation: a web of Iran-backed sleeper cells, proxy militias, and criminal mercenary networks already embedded inside North America — networks that have demonstrated the operational capacity to commit murder on American and Canadian soil.
Why the Mexican cartels may soon turn to Canada to escape chaos after killing of Jalisco boss El Mencho
Canadians may need to brace themselves for violent Mexican drug cartels moving their operations north to escape the war on drugs in Mexico.
“There is a good, strong possibility of that,” former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Charles Noonan said in an interview.
“Manufacturing in Canada makes sense,” Noonan said. “In the next six months to a year, you could see a surge in the drug labs.”
HILL: From proud nation to managed decline — the Canada I no longer recognize
Over a month ago, I decided to try writing a book. Other than hundreds of guest newspaper columns and myriad speeches on enumerable topics over the past forty years, I am not a writer. I have had no formal education to prepare me to undertake such a daunting task. Indeed, I only achieved a grade twelve diploma way back in 1970, largely due to the constant and unrelenting encouragement, and at times direct intervention, of my mother. Given this, you’d be forgiven for asking, why?
What could motivate someone like me to accept such a challenge?
Did Carney go too far in offering ‘support’ for U.S. strikes against Iran?
Every prime minister is called upon, at one point or another, to comment on the actions of an American president. For Mark Carney, still less than a year on the job, there have already been several such moments.
The latest moment of necessity arrived this past weekend, when the United States and Israel launched new attacks on Iran.
The response, a six-paragraph statement in the names of Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, has raised questions with which the prime minister may have to wrestle.
Oh yes CBC Carney was far too harsh on the murderous Mullah regime!
Mark Carney’s government needs to give us the full truth about our involvement in Iran
Canadian Forces exchange officers working with the U.S. military were “very likely” involved at some level in planning the weekend strikes on Iran, a former Canada major-general has warned.
If true, this should raise alarm bells for Canadians because it means Ottawa’s insistence that Canada is “not involved” in this operation is not just implausible, it’s misleading.
Canada is not likely trusted to work on such matters given our PM’s fancy for Beijing.
Alberta and Quebec are going in very different directions on MAID
OTTAWA — Alberta announced last week that it will be following Quebec’s lead in asserting provincial control over medical assistance in dying (MAID), but it will be taking a much different direction.
Quebec has taken steps to expand access to MAID, including via so-called “advance requests” allowing some residents to get pre-approval for assisted dying, but Alberta has signalled that restrictions are coming.

“Tripped on a broom”
The wife of a former UN diplomat disappeared three years ago in Peel. Now, it’s being investigated as a homicide
… The month prior, Aini had attended a hospital in Queens with injuries to the side of her face. There, hospital staff “appeared to have had concerns” about whether Aini’s injuries were inflicted by Mohammad. With the help of an interpreter, Aini denied that her husband had harmed her when asked by staff. He later claimed she had “tripped on a broom” and fell.
Indian High Commissioner suggests Canada should increase its Indian population by 60 million
CALGARY — India’s High Commissioner to Canada stated because of Canada and India’s “complimentary economies,” Canada should be keen to welcome 60 million more Indians into the country.
In an interview with CBC News on Saturday, Commissioner Dinesh K. Patnaik, echoed sentiments of a mutually beneficial economic strategy, which he believes includes a large increase of Indian immigrants.

Canada Right to Recognize Washington’s Just War
On the morning of Saturday, Feb. 28, we all awoke to an alarming development.
Addressing the world, the president of the United States revealed that joint military forces of the United States and Israel had begun a coordinated strike against the 47-year-old Islamic regime in Iran. In measured tones, President Trump explained that the operation had been launched in response to a clear and present danger posed by Iran’s continued nuclear ambitions and the regime’s longstanding support for terrorism against the West.
How the U.S.-Iran conflict is impacting gas prices in Canada
Gas prices inched up a few cents overnight in Canada as the North American oil market reacts to escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran Saturday that threatens to destabilize the rest of the region.
If you’re filling up a gas tank this week, higher gas prices could last as long as the conflict continues to disrupt oil tankers from accessing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest and most important naval shipping routes, according to experts.
Musqueam King Vs. Queen Of Canada … Choose Your Fighter!
Did the feds cede property rights to the Musqueam King? How will the Queen react?
Musqueam sign Aboriginal rights deals with federal government
The federal government said private lands are not affected but did not say whether there was money attached to the agreements
Others contest the government’s private lands claim.

But the private lands claim is again denied in this article…
What we know about Ottawa’s land rights deal with the Musqueam First Nation
What does this mean for B.C. property owners?
Based on the information in the press release, the new arrangement between Ottawa and the Musqueam does not impede on private property ownership in the region.
Again the feds deny that private property will be affected.
Feds release Musqueam title agreements covering much of greater Vancouver
OTTAWA – The federal government has released details of recent agreements with the Musqueam First Nation recognizing Aboriginal title over an area potentially covering much of Greater Vancouver, but it says the agreements do not have any effect on privately owned land.

Carney picks a realpolitik side on Iran war
Mark Carney wasted no time in backing U.S. military action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It was a quick decision to pick a side but also to pick from a menu.
It is hard to claim that preventing Iran from getting the bomb is the cause for this war.
It’s particularly hard because U.S. President Donald Trump provided a whole menu of justifications in the eight-minute video he released Saturday – from Iran’s nuclear-weapons program to its decades of sponsorship of terror – but really made his war about regime change in Iran.
Canada has no skin in the game so it’s easy to feign support. But Carney had better hope a Canadian sleeper cell doesn’t seek vengeance stateside.
No pleasure cruise!

CBC worried some nations may actually support the Iran attack
Wary U.S. allies try to avoid getting drawn into criticizing Washington or attacking Tehran
As American and Israeli war planes finished their first attacks against Iran over the weekend, carefully worded statements from Western allies started to roll out.
Iran “must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon,” said a spokesperson for the British government. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he shared the U.S.’s interest in ending “this regime’s terror.” French President Emmanuel Macron insisted on diplomacy.
All said they weren’t involved in military action, but carefully skirted judgment of the legality of U.S. actions. No loud applause, no condemnation. Just “whispered warnings” about what it could spark, said French newspaper Le Monde.
I bet CBC hates this…

Anita Anand dodges questions about UN secretary general’s criticism of Iran attack
NEW DELHI — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is refusing to say whether Canada believes the American and Israeli strikes on Iran that sparked an escalated conflict in the Middle East are consistent with international law, after her government declared support for the action to prevent the Islamic theocracy from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Speaking to reporters instead of Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday — the prime minister cancelled the only news conference of a four-day trip to India — Anand repeatedly refused to say whether she agrees with the head of the United Nations, who condemned the U.S. and Israeli attacks that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
