Avi Lewis Statement The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety. The United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war while Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu speak openly of regime change. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports. He has issued a statement so brazenly belligerent that even Conservatives like Jason Kenney are cheering it on. It's a shameful moment that buries all of Carney's high-minded rhetoric in Davos under the rubble. These leaders justify this war as serving Iranian liberation. But the courageous movement in Iran that has been fighting tyranny for nearly five decades — and is still reeling from the worst massacre in the country's modern history in January — will suffer a massive setback from these foreign bombs.

4 cartoon images of the US Statue of Liberty giving the Signal for Help. The signal, originally designed to help women in domestic violence signal for help without their abuser observing, is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers. It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible. Credit: Adriana Mosquera (Nani), Jan 27,2026

Simplified guide to Strategic voting this Canadian Federal Election. It is easier than you think. You have a favourite party/candidate and a worst party/candidate. There may be other parties. This simple flowchart should resolve most all of the conflicts you have in choosing whom to vote for. There are 3 questions: 1. Is one candidate much ahead of all the others? If so, vote for your favourite candidate or party. 2. Is the candidate whom you dislike or whose party you dislike the most much behind the leaders? If so, vote for your favourite candidate or party. 3. This leaves that the candidate whom you dislike the most or whose party you dislike the most is polling close to another candidate for the lead. If so, Vote Strategically, for the candidate who has the best chance of winning against the worst candidate.
