Pentagon Suspends 86-Year-Old Canada-US Defense Board, Citing Ottawa’s Failure to Meet Commitments, in Direct Rebuke of Carney’s Davos Speech

WASHINGTON – On Monday morning, the Pentagon’s senior defense strategist suspended the oldest bilateral defense institution in North American history and pointed the announcement at Mark Carney’s Davos speech — a four-month-old address the Canadian prime minister’s admirers had called Churchillian, and that Washington now treats as a case study in the gap between rhetoric and reality.

Canadian-funded programs in occupied Ukraine causing activists to be disappeared into Russian custody

Canadian-funded programs in occupied Ukraine causing activists to be disappeared into Russian custody

Canadian-funded programs in occupied Ukraine accused of putting activists at risk

The Canadian government says it is taking seriously allegations that programs it funded to promote pro-Ukrainian sentiment in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine put the lives of activists in danger.

The Kyiv Independent reported last month that a pair of Canadian-backed programs known as Yellow Ribbon and Zla Mavka had resulted in the persecution and detention of pro-Ukrainian activists in occupied parts of southern and eastern Ukraine, where Russia’s FSB security service has a heavy presence. The fate of some activists who reportedly disappeared into Russian custody remains unknown.

Your tax dollars at work.

BBC news boss: I was driven out by trans activism

A former BBC News boss has claimed she was driven out of the top job by trans activists.

Fran Unsworth, the director of BBC News from 2018-2022, said she had been bullied out of the role by gender ideologues employed by the corporation.

Speaking for the first time since leaving the BBC, Ms Unsworth said: “I would actually say it drove me out, just dealing with the progressive editorial issues and the bullying around them all. It was incredibly difficult.”

Archaeologists Find Egyptian Mummy Buried With the ‘Iliad’

Archaeologists Find Egyptian Mummy Buried With the ‘Iliad’

Archaeologists working in Egypt have discovered a remarkable combination of Homeric epic and Egyptian ritual: a 2,000-year-old mummy with a papyrus fragment of the “Iliad” sealed in a clay packet outside its wrappings.

It is the first time a literary work has been found playing a functional, spiritual role in the mummification process. And it suggests that for a Roman-era Egyptian, the “Iliad” — specifically some lines from Book 2’s “Catalogue of Ships” — was perhaps as crucial for navigating the afterlife as a magical spell.

Big library fine I bet.

US Secretary of State Official Weighs In on stupid woke Canadian University DEI Complaint ruling

US Secretary of State Official Weighs In on stupid woke Canadian University DEI Complaint ruling

U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers has again spoken out on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in Canada, this time commenting on a tribunal ruling that found views opposing “systemic racism” theories are not grounded in political or legal principles.

The decision involves a Simon Fraser University political science professor who was denied a job because he did not support DEI.

The B.C. human rights tribunal decided against holding a hearing on the issue last month. Adjudicator Devyn Cousineau said in her April 15 ruling that the educator had no reasonable likelihood of proving that he was denied the position because of his political views, because opposition to DEI did not constitute a political stance under the law.
