CBC vision of happy healthy pregnant men

About 44 per cent of men living in Canada die prematurely, according to a new report from the Movember Institute of Men’s Health.

The report defines premature mortality as deaths in men before age 75. The deaths from cancer, coronary heart disease, accidents, suicide and the opioid crisis include some causes that might have been prevented through vaccinations, lifestyle changes like quitting smoking or avoiding injuries.

In 2023, almost 75,000 males died prematurely, according to Statistics Canada.

Criminal Home Builders Who Flout Canadian Law Need More Illegal Alien Labour To Fix Housing Crisis Caused By Mass Immigration Says Star

Canada is making it harder for immigrants to help build much-needed homes — despite the construction industry’s growing reliance on them

Arjan has wired electricity for some of the GTA’s biggest construction projects, including condo towers and office buildings, doing work that lights up homes across the city while he remains in the shadows as an undocumented worker.

Despite more than a decade in Canada, a diploma in electrical engineering from Sheridan College and years of experience in a sector facing severe labour shortages, he has no status.

The no longer licensed electrician came to Canada in 2014 as an international student and worked legally for a construction company for several years.

The industry figures quoted display a real fondness for cheap foreign labour.

‘I would not date anybody who votes Conservative’

Transgender progressive women who will not date conservatives. Ever!

Singles tell us how the political gender gap is impacting their dating lives: ‘I would not date anybody who votes Conservative’

Three years ago, Jessica Katzman was dating a Conservative voter. Now, she feels it would be more difficult to do so.

“Everything feels more divided now, even compared to a few years ago,” said the 26-year-old Toronto content creator. “It feels like everyone decided they are either ‘this’ or ‘that’ and are less inclined to acknowledge that nothing is black or white.”

That said, she can’t see herself dating a Conservative in today’s political climate. “For me, caring about other people is such an enormous feature of who I am and what I believe. I can’t date a man who doesn’t care about immigrants’ or women’s rights,” she said. “Empathy is a huge part of what I look for in a partner.”

I just could not date any woman as stupid as the ‘content creator”.

The FBI’s Role in America’s Next Jihad

How you let a sleeper cell stay warm.

Have you ever wondered if the FBI is compromised? Weaponized? Crooked—not just against criminals, but against us?

What if I told you they had a jihadi, caught cold—explosives, martyrdom pledges, ISIS communications, blueprints to kill Americans—and they let him go.

Not because they didn’t know. But because they didn’t want to act. Maybe they’ll tell you they were building a bulletproof case. But the reality is—they were protecting a lie.

White first-aid dummies ‘show Police Scotland institutionally racist’

One of Scotland’s most senior police officers cited the use of white first-aid training dummies as evidence that Police Scotland was “institutionally racist”, it has been claimed.

Calum Steele, a former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said the claim had been made more than once as part of a “self-flagellation” from a force reliant on lobby groups for advice and approval.

Santa Clara University’s Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality

I’m a graduate student in marriage and family therapy at Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution. Recently, I walked out of class. Prof. Chongzheng Wei had just played a video of a female “influencer” engaging in sexual bondage activity. When the lights came up, the professor smiled and asked if we wanted to try it ourselves. Maybe it was a crass joke to break the tension, but I didn’t want to find out if a live demonstration was next.

What began as a simple accommodation request in a required course called Human Sexuality turned into a case study in the reshaping of therapy training—not by science but by critical theory, a worldview that filters human experience through left-wing assumptions about power, oppression and identity, particularly regarding race, “gender” and sexuality.

The diplomatic war over the £16bn haul of treasure beneath the Caribbean

With 70 guns and about 400 hands, HMS Expedition was exactly the kind of ship-of-the-line that formed the backbone of the 18th-century Royal Navy.

At about 7pm on June 8 1708, she fired a broadside that not only sent a Spanish enemy carrying 600 people onboard to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea but, after the passage of more than three centuries, triggered a diplomatic and legal row that has suddenly escalated.

The dispute is over the wreckage of the San José, a galleon carrying a priceless hoard of gold, silver and emeralds from Panama to Colombia for onward travel to Spain.

Liberal Gov’t calls on Israel to stop embarrassing their Mullah pals and surrender

Call on Canadian government to protect Jewish community

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand has called for an end to the escalating military confrontation between Israel and Iran following Israeli strikes on Iranian military targets and Iran’s launch of unmanned aerial vehicles toward Israeli territory.

In a statement released Friday, Anand said Canada is closely monitoring the rise in regional tensions and stressed that continued military action could trigger a broader regional conflict with devastating consequences.

In contrast, Opposition Leader and head of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre defended Israel’s right to defend itself, including by targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, which he said carries the potential for genocide.
