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.
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.
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.
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada may have been the odd man out, but he was also the star attraction at a meeting of the leaders of the five Nordic countries in Oslo on Sunday.
The meeting, convened by Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store of Norway, came in the aftermath of President Trump’s attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, and his suggestion that the United States take over Greenland in name of Arctic security. Although Mr. Trump seemed to have set that notion aside for the present, it was high on the leaders’ list of concerns, along with the war on Iran, which has disrupted energy markets worldwide, and Russia’s warnings regarding Ukraine.
It’s ever so predictable. As soon as a major terrorist attack is launched by a radical Islamist against a Jewish institution or individuals, the second thing out of many hand-wringing Democratic government officials is, “We hope this doesn’t lead to Islamophobia.” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this nonsense, I’d be able to afford a Ford Bronco.
And again, that’s similar to what we heard from Muslim-American Mayor Mo Baydoun of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, which is not far from Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, the site of the latest terrorist attack against Jews, where there would’ve been multiple casualties if not for the actions of quick-thinking security guards.
CSIS deservedly got pummeled so bad in the comments they finally turned them off.
Today, we stand against Islamophobia and all forms of hatred. Everyone deserves to live free from fear. 🤝 #CombatIslamophobia pic.twitter.com/TgP9LRweB7

Ontario is calling on the federal government to legally allow people to carry and use pepper spray for self-defence.
Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey made the request in a letter to his federal counterpart, federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, in a letter on Saturday.
By legalizing the use of pepper spray for self-defence, Downey wrote that it would give “vulnerable, law-abiding citizens a practical, immediate tool to defend themselves.”
Donald Trump has ratcheted up the pressure on European allies to help protect the strait of Hormuz, warning that Nato faces a “very bad” future if its members fail to come to Washington’s aid.
The de facto closure of the vital waterway by Tehran in retaliation for airstrikes by the US and Israel has proved catastrophic for global energy and trade flows, causing the largest oil supply disruption in history and soaring global oil prices.
The US president’s call for allies to enter the war by sending ships to the strait to protect commercial shipping vessels and unblock global oil supplies has met a muted response. Australia, France, Japan and the UK are among the countries to have said they have no plans to send ships.

The sense of entitlement to US cash is eye watering: ‘We cannot replace USAID, but we can do big things’: conservation plots a future without American money
Established in July of last year, the Dominion Society — headed by former People’s Party of Canada director Daniel Tyrie — has made a noticeable splash in Canadian politics. The Dominion Society’s chief concern is mass immigration and its consequences. In their polemic against the policies of mass immigration, the Dominion Society says that the Canadian elite has manufactured a fictitious “mass immigration consensus,” and that this has been utilized to justify continued increases in the number of newcomers into Canada.

WASHINGTON — President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.
Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Chinese electric vehicles present risks for Canadians who are critical of Beijing, as the vehicles are capable of sending camera, microphone, and location data back to China, a former senior government official told MPs.
Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a China expert and senior fellow at the University of Ottawa, told MPs on the House of Commons international trade committee on March 12 that Chinese-made vehicles include software from the Chinese technology company Baidu, which collects data from the vehicles and transmits it back to China.
The war against Iran unleashed by the United States and Israel two weeks ago brings to the boil the clash of civilisations that has been simmering since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Despite the efforts of the mullahs to incite the entire Muslim world against the West, that conflict has so far been largely contained. Iran’s sporadic drone and missile strikes on the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia and Jordan have failed to provoke these states to distance themselves from the US, while the “Arab street” has remained quiescent.
It hatches its eggs at -25C; survives cold, dark months by sticking excess food collected during summer on the underside of tree branches using its own saliva and doesn’t even fly south for winter.
It’s the Canada jay, also often called the whiskey jack. If members of the Canadian Senate have their way, it will soon become our national bird.

The US is offering ordinary Iranians a $10 million reward to help them track down the regime’s hardline leaders.
The US State Department issued a Most Wanted poster, featuring the new Supreme Leader and his top henchmen, urging Iranians to make contact via encrypted social media channels.
As well as the reward – equivalent to £7.5 million – there will be an opportunity for informers to relocate to the US, says the notice, which was posted on the department’s website and across social media.
