As Russia presses forward, Ukraine pleads with Canada for armour, air defence

A leading member of the Ukrainian parliament delivered stark warnings to Canadian politicians and top defence officials this week in a series of mostly under-the-radar meetings in Ottawa ahead of the long-anticipated aid vote in the U.S. Congress.

Oleksandra Ustinova, the head of Ukraine’s special parliamentary commission on arms and munitions, told Defence Minister Bill Blair, members of key House of Commons committees and military leaders that both time and weapons stocks are running out for her country.

Israeli Weapon Damaged Iranian Air Defenses Without Being Detected, Officials Say

An Israeli weapon deployed in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday damaged a defense system responsible for detecting and destroying aerial threats near Nantaz, a central Iranian city critical to the country’s secret nuclear weapons program, according to two Western officials and two Iranian officials.

The strike, the Western officials said, was calculated to deliver a message to Iran that Israel could bypass Iran’s defense systems undetected and paralyze them, using a fraction of the fire power Iran deployed last week when it launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel. That attack, intercepted by Israel and its allies, caused minimal damage.

Israel Under Attack – U.S. Administration Abandoning Its Ally?

Amid the relentless assaults from multiple adversaries — Iran’s regime, Qatar, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis — Israel finds itself surrounded by Iran’s “ring of fire” on all fronts.

These coordinated attacks, originating from both neighboring states and non-state actors, pose, as clearly intended, a threat to Israel’s existence. In these dire circumstances, Israel looks to its longstanding ally, the United States, for crucial support and solidarity. However, the Biden administration’s approach has left Israel feeling isolated and abandoned at a time when it most needs unwavering backing.

An Israeli bomb destroyed 4,000 embryos at a Gaza IVF centre. Where is the outrage?

The majority of Gaza’s frozen embryos have been destroyed

If you, or someone you love, has ever had fertility issues, you will know just how heavy an emotional toll they can take. IVF, in particular, is not easy. You have to inject yourself with hormones. Then you undergo anaesthesia and have an operation to retrieve the eggs. Then the embryos are made. Finally, you implant the embryos. It’s a long, expensive and involved process that can take a physical and emotional toll. At the end, you hope it’ll all be worth it. At the end, you hope there will be a baby.

Oh my.

Liberal government turning to influencers to appeal to Canadian youth

Dennis Mathu and Stephanie Gordon first started posting financial-advice videos on YouTube three years ago — a side hustle that helped to scratch a creative itch.

They never imagined it would lead them down some of the most powerful political corridors in Canada.

Mathu and Gordon — Steph & Den, as they’re known online — were among several content creators invited to Tuesday’s federal budget lockup, where they got early access to Ottawa’s new spending blueprint.

Colby Cosh: The Governor General’s abuse of office is the problem, not those who noticed

Mary Simon GG – stands for Grab & Grabbier

Last weekend, Governor General Mary Simon held a symposium at Rideau Hall about the problem of social media abuse, bringing together targets of online nastiness to talk about their experiences and “facilitate the creation of networks of resilience.” Since there’s a government online harms bill before Parliament, this was very obviously risky territory for the non-partisan vicereine.

A lot of bad GG picks.

‘Doctor Who’ Star Ncuti Gatwa: ‘There‘s so Much White Mediocrity that Gets Celebrated‘

Actor Ncuti Gatwa is promoting his first season as the star of Dr. Who with a litany of woke grievances, from “white mediocrity” to “transphobia.”

Gatwa, born in Rwanda and raised in Scotland, did not hold back his opinions on a range of political topics in an interview with Attitude magazine. The actor, who rose to fame in the Netflix series Sex Education, accused British politicians of bigotry for suggesting restrictions on grotesque sterilization procedures in children and opposing male dominance of women’s sports.

Liberal MPs fear Justin Trudeau’s budget is a gift to Pierre Poilievre — and that the Grits are shooting themselves in the foot

Worry is starting to set in. Days after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled her government’s latest budget, with $39 billion in new spending and a $19-billion tax increase to help pay for it, there is concern among some Grit MPs that the Liberals are shooting themselves in the foot.

Some — in Liberal-Conservative swing ridings — worry that blue Liberals who’ve long griped Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spends too much money, will now give Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre a second look.

Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell accepted the call to remove troops in a meeting in Washington with the prime minister of the junta, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, US officials told AFP on condition of anonymity.

‘GETTING WORSE’: Trudeau Liberals blamed for latest line of desperate workers in Toronto

Videos of massive lineups for job fairs and open calls in the GTA are commonplace on social media.

It’s a testament to just how competitive and exhausting the job market has become in recent years.

And the pricks in Ottawa still lie about the need for mass immigration.

Seattle teacher who said it’s ‘offensive’ to identify as straight now suspended for comments on Hamas terror attacks

A Seattle high school teacher previously accused of berating a student for describing himself as “straight” has been suspended for making pro-Hamas comments – including that the terror attack on Israel was justified and questioning whether women were raped.

Ian Golash, social studies chairman at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on administrative leave on April 11 after Accuracy in Media, a conservative group that exposes antisemitism on campuses, distributed a video interview with him, the Seattle Times reported.
