Navy still struggling to fill recruitment gaps throughout the service: vice-admiral

OTTAWA – Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee says the Royal Canadian Navy is “not out of the woods” yet on its recruitment crisis and the next four to five years are going to be “really hard.”

It’s been two years since Topshee, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, posted a video online warning that recruitment was in a “critical state” and the service was facing “very serious challenges” that “could mean we fail to meet our force posture and readiness commitments.”

What do we do with a generation that refuses to marry?

What will this country look like in twenty years?  Let’s take a look at a new poll of Gen Z explained by David Strom:

Gen Z voters who went for Harris, regardless of sex, value a fulfilling career as the most important thing they can achieve. That, and having enough money to have fun, are their top priorities. Marriage and family barely merit a mention.

Gen Z voters who went for Trump? They care more about families and financial security. And, in an interesting twist, it is men who voted for Trump who care most about having kids.

Gen Z men who voted for Trump placed having children as their most important marker for a good life; Gen Z women who voted for Harris placed it at #12.

Jimmy Kimmel Martyr Brigades Carries Out First Attack on TV Station

Politics is changing all the time. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll need a guide to explain why a retired teachers’ union legislative director is shooting up an ABC TV affiliate.

The short version is leftist politics is not only a mental illness, it’s a terrorist training pipeline. A month ago, the gentleman in question presumably would not have been thinking about shooting up his local ABC TV affiliate.

National parks remove signs about climate, slavery and Japanese detention

The removals come after President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March seeking to remove “improper partisan ideology” from federal institutions.

The National Park Service has removed signs at Acadia National Park in Maine that make reference to climate change amid the Trump administration’s wider effort to remove information that it says undermines “the remarkable achievements of the United States.” A sign has also been removed from at least one additional park that referred to slavery, the detention of Japanese Americans during World War II and conflicts with Native Americans.


They should designate a Tar Pit ‘Hate On For America National Park’ and give the cry babies lifetime passes while encouraging them to hike in the dark.

Nato: Don’t say airmen… it’s not inclusive

Using the term “airmen” is offensive and should be avoided, Nato has said.

The organisation said the word should be replaced by “air force personnel” in its gender-inclusive language manual, which offers several recommendations to “challenge unconscious bias” and “raise awareness of how language affects our behaviours and attitudes”.

The manual suggests that “gender-inclusive language is becoming the new norm” and that there is a “set of techniques to avoid the generic masculine form”.

Carney Secures Islamist Vote Bloc: Canada recognizes State of Palestine, offers help to build peaceful future with Israel

Canada now officially recognizes the State of Palestine and is doing so with international partners to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, according to a statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office released Sunday morning.

“Over many decades, Canada’s commitment to [a two-state solution] was premised on the expectation that this outcome would eventually be achieved as part of a negotiated settlement,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.

However, that possibility “has been steadily and gravely eroded” by several developments, including the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Israeli parliament’s resolution supporting annexation of the occupied West Bank and the Israeli government’s restrictions on humanitarian aid.


Carney and the LPC will do anything for the Muslim vote.

I wonder how the Trump administration will take this?

More … UK, Canada and Australia recognize Palestinian state

The victim has been identified as Robert Steven DeCesare, 59.
