Times Of Israel: Canada said to foil Iranian plot to assassinate renowned Jewish jurist Irwin Cotler
Canadian authorities thwarted an Iranian plot to assassinate Irwin Cotler, a prominent Jewish jurist and former justice minister. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been monitoring two suspects linked to the threat, which was communicated to Cotler last month. He has been under constant protection since the Hamas attacks on October 7.
Cotler, known for his advocacy for Israel and minority rights, has faced threats due to his efforts against the Iranian regime. The assassination attempt may be connected to a broader Tehran scheme involving an Iranian-American journalist. Cotler has been a vocal critic of the International Criminal Court's actions regarding Israel.

The Federalist: NYT Fact-Checks Itself In Fact Check Of RFK Cereal Claims
The New York Times faced backlash after a fact-check of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claims about Froot Loops, where it incorrectly stated he misrepresented the artificial ingredients in the U.S. version compared to Canada.

The incident has sparked further discussions on food regulation and health claims, with ongoing debates about the safety of seed oils and their health impacts.
