A Tale of Two Teachers in Canada’s ‘Woke’ Education System

A poster in a teacher’s classroom at a high school in Surrey, B.C., suggests society is too moralistic about sex work, the quote coming from an avowed Satanist. National Post writer Jamie Sarkonak described the classroom in this way: “The classroom … is coated with social justice posters: ones that decry colonialism, ones that inflame racial politics and one that even likens prostitution to regular physical labour.”

This teacher drapes herself in a pride flag and speaks openly of her pansexuality as well as her subscription to social justice and DEI.

The failure of Canada’s health care system is a disgrace – and a deadly one

What can be said about Canada’s health care system that hasn’t been said countless times over, as we watch more and more people suffer and die as they wait for baseline standards of care?

Despite our delusions, we don’t have “world-class” health care, as our Prime Minister has said; we don’t even have universal health care. What we have is health care if you’re lucky, or well connected, or if you happen to have a heart attack on a day when your closest ER is merely overcapacity as usual, and not stuffed to the point of incapacitation.

Israel launches attack on Iran

US officials say Israel hit Iran with a missile overnight on Friday, in what appears to be a retaliatory strike after weeks of escalating tensions between the two countries.

There are competing claims about the scale of the attack on the Isfahan region and the extent of any damage, with Iranian state media downplaying its significance.

It comes after weeks of soaring tensions between the regional rivals, which have already seen an Israeli attack on an Iranian compound in Syria, and Iran launch an unprecedented assault against Israel.

Israel strikes Iran, defense officials confirm

Long-distance aircraft fired missiles that struck Iranian air force assets at Isfahan in central Iran early Friday morning, the Jerusalem Post has confirmed, with two Israeli defense officials and three Iranian officials confirming to The New York Times that Israel was involved.

This contradicts initial reports that the strike was carried out by long-range land-to-air attack missiles or drones, which Jerusalem also possesses.

Iran Threatens to Work on Nuclear Arms if Israel Attacks Nuclear Sites

A senior Iranian official warned Thursday that Iran could work on building nuclear weapons if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities, the latest escalation in threats issued by the two sides amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.

The comments follow Iran’s aerial attack on Israel last weekend. Israeli officials have said they intend to respond to Tehran’s missile-and-drone barrage.

Brigadier General Ahmad Haghtalab, the commander for security of Iran’s nuclear facilities, said Iran could change its nuclear policies—a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s longstanding public pledge not to build nuclear weapons.

The 10 Most Cringeworthy Excerpts From The New York Times Article On ‘Polycules’

This week, The New York Times Magazine released a long profile on “Lessons From a 20-Person Polycule: How they set boundaries, navigate jealousy, wingman their spouses and foster community.”

“Polycules” are still obscure enough that the Times feels the need for an explainer in the first paragraph, so it’s an open question whether such a high-profile outlet giving these people attention is a good idea. But if you’re curious, here’s the explanation…

White Christian Nationalism: Threat or mirage?

In the eyes of liberals, there is only one thing worse than Christian nationalism. It is White Christian nationalism. The addition of the adjective “White” supercharges the expression with vitriol and power, turning its followers (especially if they are male) into something everyone should love to hate.

Judging from the liberal media uproar, the dangers of White Christian Nationalism (WCN) are immense. It is systemic, found everywhere inside the culture and governing structures of American society. Should something like this triumph, it will be the end of American democracy.

Muslims Among Us – ‘Good People, Good Times’

In a remote corner on a relatively isolated WAWA parking lot not far from my Philly home, I spotted a platinum-haired guy about 25 years old kneeling face-to-the-ground on a prayer mat. This non-Middle Eastern, Caucasian prayer penitent could have been any one of the local Catholic boys you sometimes see playing street hockey. I had to look twice: what is his story? How had he converted to Islam – or had he? And what do his poor parents think about that?

Are Iran’s Nine Lives Nearing an End?

The theocracy of Iran has been the world’s arch-embassy attacker over the last half century.

So it has zero credibility in crying foul over Israel’s April 1 attacks on its “consulate” in Damascus and the killing of Iran’s kingpin terrorists of the Revolutionary Guard Corps there.

Remember, the world was first introduced to the Iranian ayatollahs by their violent takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1980.

History made as US military conducts first ever human vs AI dogfight

The US military has carried out the first ever dogfight between a human pilot and an AI-controlled fighter jet.

The computer-controlled F-16 jet took on a manned F-16 aircraft in aerial combat at Edwards air force base in California in September last year, the US air force has announced.

Travelling at speeds of up to 1,200 miles per hour, the two jets practised both defensive and offensive scenarios as well as within-visual-range combat, known as dogfighting. At one point they came within 2,000 feet (610 metres) of each other.

The Insane World of Intersectional Climate Change

Once upon a time, linking climate change directly back to homosexuality was almost enough to get you sectioned. Remember 10 years ago, during the floods of 2014, when UKIP local councillor David Silvester was widely mocked after writing a letter to then-PM David Cameron, warning that the bad weather of the day was due to Dismal Dave’s acting “arrogantly against the Gospel” by planning to legalise gay marriage, thereby angering God Almighty and causing Him to unleash “storms, disease, pestilence and war” upon us all?

Poilievre blasts budget, won’t commit to keeping new social programs like pharmacare

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered an hour-long rebuttal to the Liberal government’s budget Thursday — a fiery speech that depicted the multi-billion dollar spending plan as a threat to the country’s future.

Poilievre was particularly critical of the budget’s projection that Ottawa will run deficits for the foreseeable future, with no plan to return to balance — a program that will push the national debt to $1.4 trillion.

Ottawa will spend more to service that debt — $54.1 billion — than it will on health care this year, and the debt charges will continue to grow as the government rolls over some of that debt at higher interest rates.
