Heroes and Zeroes of 2023

Musk, who fights the woke, and Biden, who defends them, are each in good company.

The year 2023 was a dark year geopolitically, plagued by an increase in wars, depravity, depression, border invasions, and racial-religious hatred. Democratic misleaders howled about safeguarding democracy while turning the Constitution on its head, and law enforcement into their private Stasi against ideological opponents, such as an ex-president, his supporters, and Christian conservatives. Yet amidst this dystopian utopia, the counterculture gained strength, led by wise warriors able to be heard and read despite calls for their cancellation, thanks to one of them. Below I cite him plus four more, and five big losers they damaged.

Why more Canadians are delaying parenthood by freezing their eggs

Inside the lab at Olive Fertility Centre in Vancouver, hundreds of unfertilized human eggs are nesting in round tanks full of cold liquid nitrogen.

For some, the frozen eggs could fulfil dreams of parenthood in years to come.

“Honestly, I’m so grateful for science,” said Natalie Grunberg-Ferreira, 47, who conceived two sons from the eggs she froze at the fertility clinic.

Loss of cooking skills has hurt our ability to adapt to rising food prices, experts say

Skyrocketing prices have taken a big bite out of what Canadians are able to serve up for dinner but food economists say our ability to cope has been worsened by our collective decline in cooking skills.

“We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it’s much more difficult for us to adapt our diet,” said Mike von Massow, an associate professor at the University of Guelph’s Food, Agricultural & Resource Economics department.

Of course no amount of cooking prowess will help if you can’t afford a basket of groceries. Nearly two million Canadians used a food bank in March, according to an annual report by Food Banks Canada.

I took Home Ec in Grade 9, so did a lot of guys, it was fun, except for the sewing part. I feel sorry for our teacher to this day.

New study shows few low-income families benefiting from $10 daycare in B.C.

Lengthy waitlists and high costs make daycare unattainable for many British Columbian families.

The province’s 13,000 $10-per-day child-care spaces have changed that for many—but a new study from University of British Columbia researchers suggests very few low-income families have been able to access the program.

“Our initial study intended to only interview low-income women who were single moms accessing those $10-per-day spots,” said Dr. Lea Caragata, director of the school of social work at UBC and co-author of the study. “After six months of intensive recruitment, we could only find 13 across the province.”

13? That’s pathetic but oh so ‘Liberal”.

The deportation of an Iranian national to Canada by U.S. customs authorities has prompted Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman to ask why this individual with alleged terrorism ties holds Canadian permanent residency (PR) status.

“Why does this man, who the #US sees as a terrorist threat, have PR in #Canada?” Ms. Lantsman wrote in a Dec. 28 post on social media platform X.

Probably a friend of Justin’s brother.
