Less than one per cent of students rank the Canadian Forces as their top career choice
Canada’s military recruiters have their work cut out for them.
A survey of more than 24,000 post-secondary students from across the country shows less than one per cent of them (188) ranked the Canadian Forces as their No. 1 preferred employer after graduation, and just over three per cent (829) identified the organization as among their top three to five choices.
Harvard Is an Islamist Outpost
For decades it nurtured resentful leftists, and antisemitism united them in a common cause.
I taught at Harvard from 1993 through 2014, and I don’t think the federal government’s threats will be effective at changing the university’s culture. Harvard’s leaders don’t yet understand the danger that culture poses to the country or why it required intervention.
On Sept. 11, 2001, the Islamists of al Qaeda attacked the U.S. in a suicide mission that used American planes as their instruments of destruction. On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas Islamists exploited Israel’s openness by invading the country, massacring civilians and kidnapping others. Jihadists use these new forms of warfare against those they can’t conquer by force. What concerns us here is their capture of elite American schools as outposts.
They Stole a Quarter-Billion in Crypto and Got Caught Within a Month
In the balmy late afternoon of Aug. 25, 2024, Sushil and Radhika Chetal were house-hunting in Danbury, Conn., in an upscale neighborhood of manicured yards and heated pools. Sushil, a vice president at Morgan Stanley in New York, was in the driver’s seat of a new matte gray Lamborghini Urus, an S.U.V. with a price tag starting around $240,000. As they turned a corner, the Lamborghini was suddenly rammed from behind by a white Honda Civic. At the same time, a white Ram ProMaster work van cut in front, trapping the Chetals. According to a criminal complaint filed after the incident, a group of six men dressed in black and wearing masks emerged from their vehicles and forced the Chetals from their car, dragging them toward the van’s open side door.
Nadav Steinman: For Jewish Canadians, this election presents a stark choice
As Canada prepares for a pivotal federal election on Monday, the stakes for the Jewish community — and for the future of Canada-Israel relations — have never been higher. This is not just another ballot. It is a litmus test for the country’s moral compass, a reckoning with the rising tide of antisemitism, and a defining moment for Canada’s role in supporting its democratic allies in the world, Israel among them.
This guy verbally assaulted & harassed my wife, he yelled & screamed at kids, and drove his bike into families.
When Elizabeth asked him to stop, he said she's a target too because she's my wife.
It's alarming to learn he's not only with the @NDP, he's their riding president.… https://t.co/GgfqJQSnr5

Stark? Obvious is more to the point.
Why Hollywood could be the new Detroit
It’s a town built on one industry. So what happens when everyone realises it’s cheaper and easier to film in Hertfordshire?
Fans taking the popular studio tours in Los Angeles are given a behind-the-scenes look at where movie magic from a previous age was filmed. Universal has sets from Back to the Future, while Warner Bros boasts everything from Friends to Blade Runner.
These days, however, scenes are more likely to be filmed in Hertfordshire or Hungary than Hollywood.
Los Angeles has suffered a catastrophic collapse in film and television production, as the industry synonymous with the city shifts elsewhere to cheaper rivals able to entice producers with lucrative incentives.
Alex Soros Brags: “I Talk to Real Strongmen Around the World”
New York Magazine ran a somewhat skeptical profile of Alex Soros, heir to the Soros empire, which is obviously supportive of the Open Society Network’s program to destroy America, but quotes OS insiders tearing him down as a lightweight and gives Alex room to hang himself.
Colby Cosh: Mark Carney and the next lost decade
What do you suppose it is like to be Michael Ignatieff right now? Gosh, he must really think the good Lord has it out for him. In 2006, as a stylish liberal intellectual with a star reputation in Europe, he rolled up his sleeves and ran for the Commons seat in Etobicoke — Lakeshore. His ultimate ambitions were no secret, but he thought he had better learn the ropes first, get yelled at on a few doorsteps and absorb the sights and scents of an actual Canadian neighbourhood. In 2009, the suffering Liberals turned to him as a new leader and anointed saviour, with other dignitaries flinging themselves out of his path to make way.
Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide
Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday.
Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years.
Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.

Why Smart Canadians Are Fleeing for the U.S.
It started with Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who destroyed accountability in Ottawa.
Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to President Trump’s suggestion that the threat of tariffs might prompt Canada to spend more on defense and border protection with a dire prediction: “Canada cannot then survive as a nation state.” Mr. Trump then quipped that Canada might be better off as the 51st state. It was Mr. Trudeau’s flippant, pathetic comment that made a mockery out of Canada, not Mr. Trump’s response to it.
Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land mass, endowed with vast natural wealth. With a smaller population of 40 million compared with its southern neighbor’s roughly 340 million people, Canada contributed handily to the Allies’ victory in World War II. And Mr. Trudeau thought a tariff renegotiation could be the end of his country?
America’s electric car crash is over. Europe has finally noticed
American electric vehicle sales have continued to inch up, from 7 per cent of new cars sold last year to 7.5 per cent this year. But no one now expects that they will reach the more than 50 per cent mandated by the Biden administration by 2032. President Donald Trump has upended the EV landscape – sending shockwaves through the industry that are reverberating not just in the United States, but globally.
Canada remains on a collision course with reality however.
Why Canada’s youth won’t vote for Mark Carney
When Stephen Matthews votes in Canada’s election on Monday, the country’s cost of living will be at the forefront of his mind.
“I’m a lifelong Liberal but I’m definitely leaning Conservative,” he said as he picked up his iced coffee order at a Starbucks in the bellwether constituency of Peterborough about an hour’s drive from Toronto.
The country’s topsy turvy election has shifted one way and then another.
