Maine governor comes face to face with Canadian travel fears

“… But two questions from participants brought into sharp relief how immigration raids and the rolling back of trans rights is scaring some Canadians away from U.S. visits.

“A lot of members of the queer community — a lot of Canadians feel unsafe, Canadians who are 2SLGBTQI+ absolutely feel unsafe going there,” said Vivian Myers-Jones, a member of the Saint John Pride board.”


Without Fake News CBC I would not know that hordes of Canadian transvestites routinely descended upon Maine in the halcyon days before Trump.

I bet the Governor was surprised as well.

The crazy needles of France

Back in my younger days, my parents loved a song by Les Baxter, “The Poor People of Paris.” To this day, hearing the song reminds me of that cheap GE record player that we bought when we came to the U.S. It was a major achievement finally getting our own set and not having to listen to music on the radio. The song was about life in Paris when it was a French city and not whatever it is now.

Wars are won on the factory floor

To survive the geopolitical turmoil of the 21st century, the West needs to revive its industrial base.

As recent events in Iran have so aptly demonstrated, technological progress married to industrial might produces the most tangible form of power. In the recent conflict in the Middle East, this meant that a second-tier power like Iran was clearly outmatched – first by Israel, then by America.

The West needs to learn this lesson and apply it to its rivalry with a far more formidable foe: China. Unlike the theocrats of Tehran, China’s ambitions are distinctly material. And, until recently, China has made tremendous headway facing relatively little, and largely ineffective, Western opposition.

Yes I watched this entire series.

Carney’s bizarre fixation with calling us ‘European’ makes no sense

On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said — not for the first time — that Canada is “the most European of non-European countries.”He said it in May, too, in France; and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said it as well, in an interview with BBC. So it’s obviously a deliberate talking point. What’s weird about it is that Carney and Joly offer no explanation. They just say it as if it’s an established fact that all Canadians accept — which they obviously would not.

UK: Police plead with asylum seekers not to ‘harass or abuse’ women

Asylum seekers have been told by police to treat women with respect and not harass them or risk being arrested.

Officers have drawn up a PowerPoint presentation for asylum seekers in hotels on the key points of “UK culture” which they are told they should respect.

It includes recognising that women “have the same rights as men”, so “must be treated with respect and courtesy”. “If you harass or abuse any female, you can be arrested,” it states.

Germany’s ‘Speechcrime’ Raids Are a Chilling Sign of Things To Come

At around 6 a.m. this morning, hundreds of people across Germany awoke to police officers at their door. Their only ‘crime’ is to have openly made critical or offensive comments on the internet, many about specific politicians.

This is not a scene from the Third Reich or the German Democratic Republic, but from the Federal Republic in the 21st Century. Officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) intend to make approximately 170 house visits today, to investigate ‘hateful’ or insulting comments made online. Suspects have had their tablets, laptops, and phones confiscated, and their homes searched. This operation has been taking place annually for several years now, to enforce paragraph 188 of the German criminal code. This was amended in 2021 to make it a criminal offence to insult a political figure, punishable by a maximum sentence of three years in prison.

Carney Says Canada Met With European Suppliers Amid F-35 Review

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he met with European defense suppliers about jets and submarines, and expects to conclude a review of a major contract for Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35 jets as soon as this summer.

The remarks came minutes after he signed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization pledge to increase core defense spending as a share of gross domestic product to 3.5% from 2% over a decade. Carney has said Canada should stop sending the vast majority of its defense dollars to the US, after President Donald Trump imposed punishing tariffs and repeatedly said Canada should be an American state.

Labour board upholds discrimination against White people

Labour board upholds firing over ‘white people’ comment

A federal labour board has ruled that Employment Insurance’s call-centre management acted properly when it fired a probationary agent whose on-the-job tirade questioned Black Lives Matter protests and asked coworkers, “When will there be a day to remember white people?”

Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board adjudicator Christopher Rootham said the remarks showed the worker “unsuitable to serve in a diverse public-service workplace committed to equity and respect.”

Nothing but racists.

The Masculinization of the Modern Woman

One of the doped up darlings from the DDR.

From soft power to hard muscle.

I’ve been throwing punches and kicks for the better part of a decade now. Boxing, kickboxing, the usual rotation of compound movements in the gym — nothing revolutionary, just the steady accumulation of speed and skill that comes from consistent work. It’s meditative, really. The rhythm of training, the incremental progress, the quiet satisfaction of knowing your body can do what you ask of it.

But something curious has happened in recent years, something that crystallized when my fiancée asked me a question that stopped me cold: “Is this what men find attractive now?”

Hike in defence spending could mean cuts in other areas, Mark Carney warns

OTTAWA — In spending much more on national defence, the federal government might have to cut back in other areas, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday, as he hailed a new and more aggressive target of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to crank up its military budget over the next decade.

Those “trade-offs,” as Carney put it, are expected closer to 2030. But evolving threats and global dangers mean Canada must bolster the Canadian Armed Forces and devote tens of billions of dollars in annual spending to the military and defence-related infrastructure.


Oh No! Will the Trannies be made to do without?

He just signed the deal and can’t be bothered trying.

No evidence 2025 election affected by foreign interference: commissioner

Canada’s elections commissioner says she has no evidence the result of the federal election in April was affected by foreign interference, disinformation or voter intimidation.

In a preliminary report Wednesday, Commissioner Caroline Simard says her office received more than 16,000 complaints about the spring campaign which ended on April 28.

The Washington Post ends toxic narrative that cops are hunting black men

Newspaper has quietly pulled the plug on its police shooting database ‘Fatal Force’

The Washington Post just quietly pulled the plug on its police shooting database, “Fatal Force.” Don’t expect an apology or a reckoning. Don’t even expect an explanation. Because to acknowledge the full impact of that project would be to admit this: that for nearly a decade, the nation’s premier legacy newsroom helped manufacture and perpetuate a toxic narrative – that police officers are hunting black men in the streets with impunity.

“The Ocean Is Queer”

For years, radical gender ideology appeared unstoppable. The media framed transgender identity as the next frontier of liberation. Pride Month drew enthusiastic endorsements from nearly every university, corporation, and school district. Dissenters were often marginalized, and the prevailing narrative allowed little room for debate.

No longer. Since the start of the second Trump administration, the movement has begun to retreat. The Supreme Court recently upheld a Tennessee law banning medical transition procedures for minors. Many corporations have withdrawn support for this year’s Pride events. An ideology that once seemed culturally dominant has lost significant ground in public opinion.
