Divisive identity politics risk fragmenting Canada further

Canada finds itself listing in stormy waters, split between several solitudes. We are no longer just divided between French and English. Now we are torn along national identity, media ecosystems, class, and basic beliefs about Canadian values and culture. It is doubtful that Canada will be able to remain a unified country if we continue under an incompetent skipper, Mr. Carney, at the helm.

The heartbreak is that Canada, our beloved Canada, has enormous potential. Tragically, however, we have been governed for years by people who, whether for personal gain or due to ineptitude, failed to do the hard work of nation‑building. Instead, they fueled the destruction of our national identity and values, and the degradation of our economy.

I saw first-hand how Epstein and Ghislaine got their claws into the world’s most powerful men, by Barbara Ameil

You could say that Jeffrey Epstein short-changed himself by not reading up on his favourite pastime of prostitution.

He could have saved himself a lot of trouble had he known that while prostitution is illegal in every US state, it is legal in parts of Nevada, a state which justifies its brothels as continuity with their roots in 19th Century mining towns and as an example of ‘economic diversification’ – an unusual application of DEI.

Or he might have tried buying young women in Canada where, in the usual way of Canadian half measures, selling sex isn’t illegal though buying it usually is.

Ireland Is Playing With Holy Fire

Last week, the Irish government released a St. Brigid’s Day video that mocks the Catholic saint while celebrating abortion and gay marriage. The video shows a cloaked figure—a pagan witch—carrying fire from one feminist milestone to the next, boasting images from when Ireland redefined marriage and created a constitutional right to abortion. The Irish government elite confused (or conflated) the Catholic saint with an old Gaelic goddess of the same name. This was not merely a mistake. It is the latest example of the elite’s contempt for Ireland’s Catholic heritage.

BURTON: Canada and the perils of denialism — are Canadians prepared for the fallout?

Canada is not in crisis because it is under siege from hostile foreign powers. Nor is it a victim of some unavoidable global conspiracy or historical inevitability. Canada’s predicament is far more unsettling as it is largely self‑inflicted. The country is struggling because too many of its leaders — and too many citizens — are trapped in an acute and dangerous form of denialism about the nation’s vulnerabilities, its declining institutional capacity, and the cumulative consequences of decades of misguided political, economic, and social decisions.

My Dishwasher Died …

My not so old Bosch has given up the ghost it seems, the pump is likely shot an E-19 error code can’t be cleared on reset.

It’s been acting up for a couple of weeks first with the E-27 error code which can be bypassed on reset.

Any suggestions on a replacement? Budget friendly of course.

I have been looking at this Whirlpool model 800 bucks and good reviews.

Was the raid on Venezuela real?

From the very start, there was something weird about Operation Absolute Resolve. The official story went something like this: after a whirlwind air attack, which included the use of suicide drones for the first time, special operators from the US Army’s renowned but shadowy SFOD-D unit (“Delta Force”) were helicoptered into the Fuerte Tiuna military complex in the south of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. They defeated the local garrison, used “massive blowtorches” to breach heavy metal doors in a fortress-like residential site within the base, captured the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, then spirited them back to the helicopters and flew them out to face charges in the United States. Donald Trump said it had been “an assault like people have not seen since World War Two.”

Painfully real for Maduro I’m betting.

Canadians still want to own a home but they no longer believe it is possible

Here’s the truth about the housing crisis in Canada: it is no longer just a policy problem. It is becoming a political identity problem.

A new national survey conducted by Abacus Data in partnership with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) finds that Canadians have not given up on the dream of homeownership. In fact, it remains deeply rooted. Seven in ten non-homeowners (70%) still say they want to own a home someday, including nearly nine in ten young adults aged 18 to 29 (89%) and 80% of those aged 30 to 44.

Canada is no stranger to separatism but push for Alberta to join US is a new peril

While Quebec parties have long sought independence, the secret meetings by unelected Albertans with US officials have been branded treasonous by some

A separatist push for a referendum on independence from Canada. Meetings with foreign officials perceived to be sympathetic to their cause. Accusations of treason and sedition.

Ahead of a 1995 referendum, leaders of Quebec’s independence movement made a string of provocative overtures to foreign governments, including a trip by the province’s premier to France. In a move that outraged anglophone Canada, the mayor of Paris gave Quebec’s Jacques Parizeau a welcome befitting a national leader.

Inside Hanwha’s pitch to win Canada’s lucrative submarine contract

Korean KSS-III submarine (US Naval Institute Review)

SEOUL, South Korea – On a packed bullet train heading towards Seoul, the face of Stephen Fuhr, Canada’s secretary of state for defence procurement, suddenly appeared on monitors in each of the 18 train cars.

In a four-minute news story, Fuhr was shown touring Hanwha’s shipyard in Geoje, along with more than 20 Canadian CEOs along for a trade mission.

Over two days, the delegation visited multiple industrial sites and the Republic of Korea’s (ROK) submarine command base. The event was widely covered by South Korean media, and is an indicator of the importance the Republic has placed on winning the massive contract to build Canada’s next generation of submarines.
