I’m a reporter and anchor @GlobalNational. The views you see here are mine. I’m always learning and evolving but never beyond my love for chocolate.

What’s in a name?

I explored that question for my article: https://t.co/ZQdCSdYq1O

Check it out for more on what I heard from linguistics experts, people who’ve had challenges with their own names, how I’ve been saying mine wrong most of my life and why I decided to stop now.

EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: Journalism still matters!

After our investigation revealed the Canadian government granted a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to override Mehdi Taj’s inadmissibility, he was sent back just hours after landing in Canada at 10:05 p.m. last night. https://t.co/OWRr0yS53B

OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago, Chose Not To Alert Canadian Authorities

What is coming out of Iran is not just brutality. It is the importation of battlefield violence into city streets by men who have done this before.

The videos now circulating show armed men firing on unarmed civilians without distinction. In some clips, shooters sprint while firing automatic rifles. In others, men stand upright on a moving motorbike and fire handguns. There are also scenes of heavy weapons mounted on pickup trucks, with armed men standing in the back and firing into streets and crowds.

What stands out is not only the firepower, but the method and the mindset. This is not crowd-control policing. It is combat-style action: coordinated movement, practiced weapon handling, and lethal force used without hesitation. These are men who have killed before, repeatedly, in war zones, and they are used to it.

For years, the IRGC’s Quds Force built proxy forces across the region—recruiting, funding, training, and deploying fighters into war zones in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Now the regime is bringing those same proxies home and using them inside Iran.

In plain terms, it has imported the habits of foreign battlefields and turned Iranian cities into killing grounds.

@MrEhRon Hi Aaron,
Hoping to get in touch regarding a story. Can you please send me a DM? Thanks!

Incredible access and vulnerability in this story.

My colleague Melissa Ridgen speaks with an inmate caught in the “child welfare to prison pipeline.” Powerful journalism exposing the legacy of harmful systems.

Stanford’s @milaniabbas speaks w/ my former colleague @NegarMojtahedi on how Iran’s future may lie w/ civil society: unveiled women, dissenting teachers & artists reshaping historical narratives, echoing a growing academic shift toward viewing opposition beyond organized politics

[Negar Mojtahedi @NegarMojtahedi]

“Iranian society is more represented by intellectuals who used to be religious and now go and kiss the feet of a Baha’i and say, I’m sorry for everything we have done to you,” he added. “That’s the future of Iran. Those women are the future of Iran. They are the opposition to this regime.” @milaniabbas Eye for Iran. A true honour for me to speak with such a legend and someone who I look up to so much.

Jagmeet Singh walks out of the NDP party headquarters with his family after announcing he’ll be stepping down as leader and conceding his seat in his riding of Burnaby Central.

[Neetu Garcha @NeetuGarcha]

A look inside NDP HQ in Burnaby as of 8:55pm PT as leader Jagmeet Singh is on track to lose his seat in the riding of Burnaby Central. Campaign press secretary says they remain hopeful about this riding and their ability to form official status. It all comes down to BC.

[Neetu Garcha @NeetuGarcha]

Jagmeet Singh talks about the concept of “Char Di Kala” as it’s known in Punjabi of having a defiant optimism in the face of struggle. It’s an eternal optimism.

He says he’s hopeful for the party and its future. Says “New Democrats built this country & we aren’t going anywhere.”
