@MarkJCarney And the thousands of children in Palestine? And Lebanon? And the children of the dozens of schools US has bombed in Iran? What are the rules here? Why do 2 civilians matter more than the hundreds of thousands Israel and US have killed?

@MarkJCarney There are no condolences for $73,000 civilians in #Gaza, among them 23,000 children, because they are poor and their killer is Israel.

Your prime minister is looking you in the eye and saying that Iran attacking a military base that attacked them was unprovoked. It’s the disingenuousness for me. No, it’s also the endorsement of a wholesale slaughter. It’s also that.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Canada shares its condolences with the UAE following the latest Iranian attack that took the lives of two civilians in Abu Dhabi.    We strongly condemn Iran’s unprovoked attacks on the UAE and across the region, and reiterate the importance of opening secure access through the Strait of Hormuz. Canada supports efforts to safeguard international shipping and ensure freedom of navigation.

Rick Scott says our trip to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba was “disgusting.” The policies he supports starve the people, block all fuel imports, and cause severe shortages in the healthcare system. We did our best to take all his questions, but it doesn't seem like he liked the answers.

Every time I listen to Trump spewing nonsensical inanities I’m reminded that Americans elected him not once but twice in free and fair elections. They knew exactly what was on offer and embraced it. Twice.

Never forget... "Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who kept Kamal Adwan Hospital open as Israeli forces invaded northern Gaza, has now been imprisoned for a full year without charge. “A full year of injustice has passed,” his family says. He remains in Israeli custody under a law allowing indefinite detention without trial, along with at least 95 other Palestinian healthcare workers still detained by Israeli authorities, including 80 from Gaza and 15 from the West Bank." ©dropsitenews

💢 NEW: Iran’s IRGC-linked Fars News Agency maps UAE energy sites as potential targets An infographic circulating in Iranian media outlines key energy infrastructure across the UAE—including power stations, nuclear facilities, and solar hubs—as potential targets in the event of escalation. 🔸 Key sites identified: ➤ Jebel Ali power and desalination complex (Dubai) ➤ Barakah nuclear power plant (Abu Dhabi) ➤ Al Taweelah power station (Abu Dhabi) ➤ “M Station” power plant (Dubai) ➤ Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (Dubai) The report claims strikes on these sites could trigger widespread blackouts and disrupt desalination, industry, and data centers, with cascading effects on the UAE’s economy and regional trade. Experts cited in the report say the country’s heavy reliance on centralized power infrastructure makes these sites strategically critical.

🇨🇴 BREAKING: Colombia to exit ISDS international investment arbitration regime President Gustavo Petro announced that Colombia will withdraw from the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system, following a global call from over 220 economists and legal scholars including Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz and renowned economist Thomas Piketty. ISDS allows foreign corporations to sue governments in international tribunals over policies that affect their profits, often bypassing domestic courts and exposing states to multi-billion-dollar claims. “Several countries have already announced or have exited this type of arbitration, including the United States. I don’t see why Colombia shouldn’t do the same,” Petro said. Colombia has about $14 billion at risk in such cases, Petro said, noting that states often lose these disputes. “ISDS is bad not just because it puts transnational corporations above the environment and human rights, but because it creates a fast-track legal system that gives them unfair privileges over local businesses and because it grants those corporations ‘license to kill’ government regulations with threats of billion dollar arbitration,” Andrés Arauz of the Center for Economic and Policy Research wrote in a press release. The move aligns Colombia with countries like South Africa, India, and Indonesia that have also terminated ISDS agreements, and comes ahead of the first-ever Global Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels set to be held in Colombia in April.

⚡️ Just In: The Wall Street Journal, citing mediators, reports Iran “hasn’t requested a 10-day pause on strikes on its energy plants,” contradicting Trump’s claim the extension was made “at Iran’s request,” and confirming earlier reporting by Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill.

🚨I asked a senior Iranian official about Trump’s claim Iran requested an extension on Trump’s threat to bomb energy infrastructure: “[Trump] is not being truthful. We have not submitted any request regarding potential U.S. attacks,” the official said.

@CanadaFP Outrageous. How are so many Canadians blind to Carney doing little more than Trump's bidding? Iran was attacked by the US & Israel. It's like Ukraine being sanctioned for Russia invading them. If you're trying to open the straight of Hormuz, simple,don't support US bombing.
