For decades, Iran has supported the regime of Bashar al-Asad in Syria with military advisors, weapons, and both diplomatic and financial support due to Tehran's belief that a pro-Iranian government in Syria is a core national interest. In this regard, cooperation with Damascus has provided
Tehran with a number of strategic advantages, which it is loath to surrender. More recently, the Iranians have also come to view Syria as a vital ally against the threat of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). In this environment, the Islamic Republic will likely continue to bolster
the Asad regime even if the Syrian civil war continues for years.

In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada returned once more to section 2(d) of the Charter (freedom of association). In recognizing a right to strike in Saskatchewan v. Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and striking down the labour relations regime applicable to RCMP officers in Mounted Police Association of Ontario v. Canada, the Court appeared to broaden the scope of the protected right. At the same time, however, the Court in Meredith v. Canada upheld wage restraint legislation as not infringing section 2(d). This article explores these cases and their antecedents, and argues that the Court's section 2(d) jurisprudence lacks coherence, and that many of the important questions about the scope of section 2(d) remain to be answered.

Drawing on social justice as a foundation, this study explored governmental, private and non-profit responses and assistance made available to female military veterans returning from active duty. The study determined how technology and college have helped provide solutions and support for female veterans, who have experienced deployment, to reintegrate positively into society and to improve their psychological wellbeing. Given that many female veterans now returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are technologically well-informed, an assessment of available technological support was made to ascertain which of them were beneficial as these women sought to regain a sense of normality in their lives. The role of college in helping bolster veterans' confidence and reintegration was also examined in terms of its constructiveness. The research focused on female veterans who had experienced military emotional stress but were able to prevail over that stress to a state of mental well-being. This mental well-being was the research's dependent variable. The research's two independent variables were (1) technological support and (2) college. Military emotional stress » Technological support and/or college » Mental well-being outcome Based on this thesis' quantitative and qualitative research data, it was evident that technological support and college have helped female veterans handle emotional distress from military service and cope with returning to civilian life.
