Canadian cops do this regularly. Numerous forces.
"Edmonton’s police chief is facing criticism for travelling to Israel in February to meet with state policing officials as part of a counterterrorism delegation."

NEW: The DOGE operative accused of telling colleagues he planned to exfiltrate sensitive SSA data for use at a private company is John Solly, CTO of the health IT division of Leidos. (Leidos denies he put any such data on its systems.) @telliotter.bsky.social and @makenakelly.bsky.social have more:
Israeli map showing a red zone where they will bomb
The IDF has issued an evacuation order in *central Beirut* in Bachoura near the Saint Joseph University. These are all heavily populated areas. There’s a school near the red zone. This is where Israel is going to bomb.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Elad Simchayoff on twitter: I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said: “You find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? It’s such a strange feeling.”
A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Not to mention large swaths of territory.
Update: Local groups, and a criminologist, react to Edmonton police Chief Warren Driechel’s trip to Israel. The chief says his trip informs him on how global issues play out in Edmonton, including protests. #yeg #Edmonton

In 1953, Iran’s democratically-elected leader Mohammad Mosaddegh was deposed in a CIA coup.
Narges Bajoghli, a professor of Middle Eastern studies, explains how the coup shaped Iran’s current political landscape.
Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
Sean Orr has filed legal action against Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim for saying to media without evidence that Orr was dealing drugs on Christmas Day
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.
Human Rights Watch has found evidence that Israel used white phosphorus, an illegal chemical weapon that can result in lifelong injuries, on towns in southern Lebanon earlier this month.
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.
Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Drains across the Iranian capital Tehran are continuing to explode after earlier Israeli and US strikes on oil depots and infrastructure.
Medical experts are warning the toxic smoke and runoff has increased the risk of deadly illnesses, including cancer.
An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers.
This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.
Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei
• More hardline than father
• He’s the IRGC candidate
• Relatively young: 56
• Avoids public
• Trusted by father, clerics
• Was in military during Iraq-Iran war
• His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father
A basic statement of fact no one in the government of Canada is principled or brave enough to make.
The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including:
6,668 civilian structures
5,535 homes
14 hospitals
65 schools
"The footage appears to contradict US President Donald Trump’s claim that it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28." - @bellingcat.com
We are governed by idiots, dependent on idiot boxes to function:
"A documentary about Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust? The focus on gender risked “contributing to D.E.I. by amplifying marginalized voices.”"
Holy shit: the guy who cut millions in grants because they were DEI cannot form a coherent explanation of what DEI is bsky.app/profile/lmrh...
Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.
Dressing up as medical aid when you aren't is a war crime. Unambiguous. Awful.
