GUNTER: Liberals ride Chretien’s coattails with over-60 demographic

Political analysts and organizers used to be obsessed with the “gender gap” between male and female voters. If a candidate or party did noticeably better among men, that was seen as a bad thing.

There is, of course, often still a gender gap. In the 2024 U.S. presidential election then-candidate Donald Trump did so much better among male voters under 35 and among Hispanic men that their support contributed considerably to his win.

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27

This year’s estimates include $1.38-billion in funding for the CBC, representing a marked decrease from the $1.58-billion allotted to the public broadcaster during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The cuts are weak sauce and I bet the money will be replaced by some hidden top-up or other.

US may not have capacity to take down full barrage of Iranian drones, officials warn

Top military officials told lawmakers in a closed door briefing on Tuesday that they may not be able to shoot down every Iranian drone being launched against US military installations and assets in retaliatory attacks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The officials, led by the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Dan Caine, said Iran has been deploying thousands of one-way attack drones and while they have capacity to take down the vast majority but not all of the barrage.

A Canadian medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction

A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional.

Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.

Feminists for Killing Feminists

American feminist organizations rally to help Iran keep killing women.

While tens of thousands of protesters were being killed in Iran, many of them authentic feminists, young women demanding equal rights and freedom from the oppressive compulsory ‘hijab’, the Women’s March remained silent. So did the National Organization for Women.

The Women’s March stayed quiet as young women in Iran were gang raped by masked men at gunpoint, much as it had remained quiet during the rapes by Iran’s Hamas allies on Oct 7.

PM Flip Flop refuses to ‘categorically’ rule out military involvement in Middle East conflict

Mark Carney refuses to ‘categorically’ rule out military involvement in Middle East conflict

CANBERRA—Prime Minister Mark Carney now says he won’t rule out future military involvement in the spiralling Middle East conflict.

Speaking in the Australian capital, Carney appeared to harden Canada’s stance on the war, saying it’s too soon to call for an immediate ceasefire because it is not clear whether the objectives to knock out Iran’s nuclear program and support for terrorist groups have been achieved.

Asked whether Canada could get involved militarily, Carney said he could not “categorically” rule that out.

Yea? You and whose army?
