Ukraine offensive?

(AFP) In Iraq’s on going political soap opera Moqtada al-Sadr has faced two new setbacks.

Afterward the Sadrists said they would not return to parliament even though they have another suit to do just that. That’s because Sadr fears that he might be defeated if a vote is held and wants to avoid that humiliation Seco... read more

Chantal Hebert writes that Justin Trudeau will not be calling a snap election: Provided the Liberal/NDP pact holds, Canada will not be going to the polls this fall and perhaps not until 2025. Even if Trudeau wanted to call a snap election to try to get an edge on a rookie leader, his own party is anything but on a solid electoral footing. By rushing the country to the polls for the second time in as many years, the prime minister would only risk putting the Liberals on the fast lane to an exit from government. But Trudeau says he'll be there for the next election: When that hap... read more
