To my knowledge, Iran and other middle east countries are part of the no nuclear NPT treaties with the US. The only one that isn't a member of these treaties is Israel. There is no real proof, despite them trying to pull a W Bush 'they have nukes' lies-to-war propaganda, Iran has any nuclear weapons. Do you know who does? Israel.

Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’

Did you actually read the requirements or just post the CN immigration site? The "Express Program" which is the only fast track, 3yrs instead of 5yrs of a path to citizenship, requires either a job offer to higher education requirements, such as a BA, to qualify, or as they put it gain more points (it is a point system.) A lot of people will not qualify for this. Again, legally immigrating is not easy.

‘The Last of Us’ Ratings Declined During Season 2. But Why?

They are correct in a few points, the end of one of the main characters was a let-down. But a show can live on from that, sadly, the turnaround for me wasn't so palatable. They did point out that the end of season one, when they got to a "safe space," felt story ending. It did, but then instead of that micro focus on the two characters, it went straight into macro character development with many characters. It was a sludge-fest, a soap opera melodrama, less about the infected (not even shown in the last ep of season 2, sigh.) I have no plans of watching season 3.

Problem is, Canada has strict immigration laws, so I assume she 1. used her prestigious degrees and CN accepted her immigration immediately for a teaching job or 2. she is there illegally for the next 5 years (I think that is how long it takes there.) Illegally means no health coverage, jobs that pay cash only, etc. It is easy to cross the borders, it is another thing entirely when you need to find work.

Not the UK. Anita Bryant an evil bigot who laid the groundwork for Florida's Don't Say Gay bill and advocated against gay rights, "protect the children." DeSantis later signed in a bill kind of based off her original one re the classrooms, etc. Too bad FL has such beautiful coastlines, but it really should be boycotted at all cost. A lot of the people outside the gay meccas support these efforts.
