I was in Blatchford on Friday, and it’s really an incredible neighborhood. Walking around it gives you a sense of the vision, what’s coming and it’s great — if issue is pace of development, I think City could have benefitted from a municipal land development company directing it

Some excellent appointments here in Alberta, including Justice Friesen to the Court of Appeal!

American numbers, but very interesting

A Turkish official tells me:

• Blinken asked us to convey a message to Iran that their retaliation must be limited.

• Iran in response said that their retaliation would be a response to the attack on Iranian Embassy in Damascus and it won’t go beyond that.

• Turkey was…

Countries that lost citizens in aid convoy attack reject Israel Defense Forces report

Australia, Poland, the U.K. and U.S. all indicate they aren't satisfied — while Canada remains mute

Darnel Nurse on the puck causing me much anxiety tonight

In a statement, U.S. Defense Secretary Austin says that while the United States will protect its forces and help defend Israel, “we do not seek conflict with Iran.”

BREAKING: CNN reports that 'Biden told Netanyahu US will not participate in offensive operations against Iran'

BREAKING: NBC News reports that 'President Joe Biden has privately expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to drag the U.S. more deeply into a broader conflict'

מתנחלים מגובים בחיילים פושטים כבר שעות על שורה ארוכה של כפרים פלסטינים ומבצעים בהם פרעות ופוגרומים, שורפים כל בית ומכונית שהם רואים ופוגעים באנשים חפים מפשע רק משום שהם פלסטינים. הם מצדיקים את זה בגלל הרצח של הנער בנימין אחימאיר, אבל אין לזה שום הצדקה בעולם. פוגרום הוא פוגרום.

One of my favorite old Conan bits was when they'd let their show's graphic designer come out in a recliner and awkwardly rant about something extremely nerdy for two straight minutes.

We may not know for a while the full details of the Arab cooperation tonight in the interception of the Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel, but it was significant without a doubt, including the use of Jordan’s airspace. It certainly helped to save many Israeli lives. >

The first (and so far only) reported casualty of Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel is a 10-year-old Bedouin child from the Negev

When they say “suicide drones”… because other killer drones expect to make it back home after bombing a city?

If you cheer on Iran's strikes on Israel, remember that in addition to Jewish Israelis, Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims & Christians could lose their lives in the attack. Iranian projectiles endanger Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Amman, Lebanon, Syria & Iraq. War's not an online game

Iran at the UN says that from their 'point of view, this event is over' unless Israel retaliates. As predicted, the Ayatollah's regime is simply trying to save face & has no interest in a major confrontation with Israel. This could quickly wind down if Israel shows restraint.🤞🙏

This has been on the radar in BC and other provinces — like Zachary notes, I don’t think govt regulation of lawyers advances public interest — but if anything, this served as a wake up call to law societies, benchers, and lawyers to take that part of our mandate more seriously

levels of doom-scrolling previously considered impossible

BREAKING: US and allied fighter jets and air defenses will attempt to neutralize Iranian drones before they reach Israel
