Yesterday, an Iranian-Swedish man was executed on bogus charges of espionage. Today, these three men, including 19 year old wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi, involved in January protests were also executed after televised coerced confessions under duress. No lawyers. No proper trials. I am afraid there will be an execution spree in the coming days and months. The international community must be involved in helping with regime change; otherwise, we will continue to see mass slaughter and executions of Iranians. Even a weakened mullah regime and IRGC will continue to pose a threat to the world.

#POTD – Check out this great photo of Petty Officer William Katanna. Born in Sadlow, Manitoba, Katanna joined the RCNVR in 1941. During #WWII he took part in the raid on Dieppe, the landings in North Africa and the Invasion of Sicily.

"A Chief Justice does not get to speak like an angry political actor about one of the most divisive constitutional controversies in modern Canadian history and then stroll back into judicial life as though nothing happened. He does not get to brand a protest “anarchy,” describe citizens as “hostage takers,” cast the event as an assault on democratic institutions, and still expect the public to believe he remains untouched by prejudice." @TomMarazzo /2

Currently Canada doesn't have the ability to launch space projects on our own, instead relying on the United States. That means turning south for getting satellites into orbit. With this project, that will change. I'm happy to see this investment being made in Nova Scotia, with the new launch pad expected to come into operation by 2028. This is an important investment for Canadian sovereignty. Another reason why Nova Scotia is the defence capital of Canada. 🇨🇦

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Our family left Ireland generations ago and used a bit of that Irish luck to land in Canada. Still, there’s plenty of Irish left in us — always happy to complain about the weather and share a Guinness with those we hold close and new friends too! 🍀🍀🍀

In midst of Korean War, Canadian soldiers found relief on a makeshift hockey rink on a river within earshot - and likely within range - of Chinese artillery. Imjin River, March 11, 1952.

Samuel Sharpe was a Member of Parliament who led men into battle at Vimy Ridge, Hill 70 and Passchendaele. But when he came home, the war never left him and he ended his life. It took over a century for Parliament to recognize his sacrifice. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

My new op-ed: the Islamic Republic of Iran is likely to survive the war. If it does, it will be weaker but also nastier. That means it will intensify its already intense efforts to intimidate, pressure & threaten anti-regime Iranian Canadians. nationalpost.com/opinion/thomas…

When it comes to the future of the region and that of the Iranian people, the son of the late murderous ayatollah is not the change we’re looking for. He has lived large as the Iranian people have suffered and he’s been on the front lines of pushing hate because he too is a religious Nazi. I believe it’s just a matter of time before he meets the same fate as that of his father — one of the most evil men on the planet. To the Iranian people: stand firm. Your liberation is at hand.
CBS News@CBSNews

Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the second son of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been named Iran's new supreme leader, Iranian state media reported Sunday. Mojtaba Khamenei has never held elected office. But for years, he has operated quietly behind the scenes from within his father's office, cultivating influence across the security establishment, particularly within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

My brilliant friend Bill knows this well, but I'll add context to people talking about Putin or any dictator making a mistake that is a disaster for their nation & people. They don't care. It's only a mistake to them if it risks their own money & power more than the alternative.
Kate from Kharkiv@BohuslavskaKate

BROWDER: "Putin has made huge mistakes. This war is just a gigantic catastrophic mistake. A US think tank calculated his financial losses at about $700 billion. His personnel losses are 1.2 to 1.3 million men either dead or disabled, plus another million who have left the country. He’s lost Syria, Iran, Venezuela—not to mention Armenia. To the extent that he wanted to contain NATO, he’s got two new NATO members on his borders: Sweden and Finland. The economy is in a complete tailspin. It’s a catastrophe on every possible level for Vladimir Putin. If he was thinking this was some smart move, he’s set Russia back generations with his evil invasion of Ukraine."

In honour of International Women’s Day, we are holding a panel at the United Nations tomorrow to recognize the incredibly brave and resilient women of Iran. Together, we will examine the daily human rights abuses and systemic discrimination they endure under the gender apartheid of the Islamic Republic. We will also highlight the triple jeopardy faced by women from Iran’s ethnic communities, who experience compounded layers of marginalization. This conversation will explore pathways toward healing from trauma, including for political prisoners and survivors of torture, and discuss meaningful ways the international community can support Iranian women in their pursuit of freedom and democracy. Finally, we will reflect on what justice and accountability truly mean for the women of Iran, and ask whether the United Nations is truly doing its part. Thank you @Iranhouse2023 for your support in making this important conversation possible as well as our ECOSOC partner Zagros Human Rights Center.
