Woke Canadian military can’t recruit new members

The Canadian military, a once illustrious institution with an international reputation for excellence and professionalism, is on the decline as it pushes a politically correct agenda to its members.

LifeSiteNews recently received an email that was sent out on behalf of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), outlining a series of “woke” initiatives that the military is promoting among its ranks.

The email came specifically from the office of the 8 Wing Deputy Commander, which is based in Trenton, Ontario. The current Deputy Commander of the 8 Wing is LCol Audrey Lavoie. Lavoie has served in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) since 2002 and was deployed in Afghanistan in 2008 as well as in other non-combat scenarios around the world.

Prime Minister Grave Markers To Be Reworded With Atrocity Apologies Open To Highest Bidder

Federal officials rethink wording of markers at gravesites of past prime ministers

OTTAWA — It was in late January that vandals so badly scratched out the face of Mackenzie King on an awareness panel by the former prime minister’s final resting place in Toronto that a federal agency decided the panel had to be replaced.

For more than two decades, the commemorative panel didn’t receive a revamp, just like others at prime ministerial gravesites overseen by federal officials.

Those officials, however, are rethinking what the panels should say and reflect how the country views its past, specifically in light of historical mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples.

Kamala Harris gets ‘repackaged’ and now looks cringier than ever

Two weeks ago, Kamala Harris hired a “crisis communications expert,” to create a new image for her. She needed a “rebranding” it seems, to paper over her failures. Her stints as border surge czar and voting czar weren’t going over well with the public. Her staff flight and toxic work environment continued her downward trajectory. The taxpayers would pay, of course, for this bid to get her poll numbers up, but who was counting?

To attack or not to attack?

‘Send us home,’ beg Afghan refugees stuck in UK hotels

Afghans who recently arrived in the UK after fleeing the Taliban takeover have asked to be sent back, casting doubt over the success of Operation Warm Welcome, the government’s Afghan resettlement programme.

It was launched by Boris Johnson on 29 August to help Afghan refugees arriving in the UK by providing support so they could “rebuild their lives, find work, pursue education and integrate into their local communities”.

However, a widespread lack of housing means hotels have been commandeered as emergency temporary accommodation for 7,000 Afghan refugees, with Home Office officials admitting that some will be held in them for months.

They should be immediately accommodated!

China’s noisy ‘dancing grannies’ silenced by device that disables speakers

Across China’s public parks and squares, in the early hours of the morning or late in the afternoon, the grannies gather.

The gangs, made up mostly of middle-aged and older women who went through the Cultural Revolution, take to a corner of a local park or sporting ground and dance in unison to Chinese music. Loud music.

The tradition has led to alarming standoffs, with the blaring music frequently blamed for disturbing the peace in often high-density residential areas. But many are too scared to confront the women.

Free menstrual products coming to Ontario schools, Education Minister Stephen Lecce announces

Some six million menstrual products will be provided free of charge each year to Ontario schools as part of a three-year program announced Friday by Education Minister Stephen Lecce following pressure from youth leaders and boards.

The move — which some school boards have already implemented, as early as 2019 — addresses growing awareness about “period poverty,” where girls don’t have access to, or can’t afford, pads and tampons, and that interferes with their ability to take part in sports and activities or even attend school.

Feds indict 18 former NBA players for $3.9million healthcare scheme undone by grammatical errors

A federal court in New York has charged 18 former NBA players and one spouse with an alleged $3.9 million scheme aimed at defrauding the league’s health insurance plan.

According to an indictment unsealed in the Southern District of New York on Thursday, former New Jersey Nets and Boston Celtics guard Terrence Williams was the ringleader of the plan to submit false claims to the NBA’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan between 2017 and 2020. Specifically, Williams is accused of asking for kickbacks in exchange for filing false invoices on behalf of other former players.
