Phones, laundry machines and more: Canadians keep tossing valuable materials in the trash New research shows mobile phones last about 4.5 years, while laundry appliances last the longest at nearly 10 years. Yet many devices are replaced even when they still function.

About 65 per cent of electronics are replaced for reasons other than complete failure, including upgrades or minor problems such as battery issues or cracked screens. In some cases the devices are passed on, but many still end up as waste. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/05/n...

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

“Given the U.S.’s intelligence capabilities, they should have known that a school was in the vicinity,” said Beth Van Schaack, a former State Dept official who teaches at Stanford University’s Center for Human Rights and International Justice”

‘This is a needless war’: Americans share their thoughts on the US-Israel attacks on Iran The Guardian asked US readers about the military action in Iran – their responses were largely disapproving

“We can be sure that Trump has launched this war for selfish purposes.

“Whether to flaunt his power, to control the headlines (away from Epstein), or to entertain himself, this needless war is not for the benefit of the Iranian people .”

Patient advocates say state administrators in Iowa appears to be reining in Medicaid spending by cutting home care services for people with disabilities that help them live outside institutions.

National groups are bracing for similar cuts elsewhere.

DOJ attempts to evade state ethics oversight of its attorneys Legal groups swiftly denounced the department's latest attempt to avoid oversight.

“The illegal attacks by U.S. forces on Venezuela … didn’t end there, & there is no reason to believe the attacks on Iran will be Trump admin’s last act of aggression. Who is next? … Canada itself? If Ottawa cannot denounce illegal war now, what will it say then?” ~ Mark Kersten

It took longer than it should have, but congratulations to everyone - colleagues, diplomats (you know who you are), MPs, etc. - who pushed, and pushed hard, to force the government to accept reality: the attacks on Iran are a blatant and manifest violation of international law.

I wonder whether Trump is aware that our military resources, though vast, are finite.

Trump Lays Out His ‘Worst Case’ Scenario in Iran

“I guess the worst case would be we do this & somebody takes over who’s as bad as the previous person,” he said. “Right, that could happen?… It would probably be the worst, you go through this, and then in 5 years you realize you put somebody in who’s no better.”
