An ’embarrassing’ gear shortage has Canadian troops in Latvia buying their own helmets

There’s a phrase soldiers use to describe equipment they’ve bought themselves to augment what the army gives them.

They call it Gucci gear, after the luxury fashion designer.

For Canadian troops deployed in Latvia, those private purchases have been decidedly more practical than luxurious — given the fact that they’re taking part in more live fire training exercises meant to deter Russia from setting foot in the Baltic country.

Lot’s of time to spend on Twitter to support sexual mutilation fetishists though.

Shorter CBC: Ewwww! Religious People Have The Vote And They Hate Child Sexual Mutilation!!

This is what the CBC stands for.

Inside the fundamentalist Christian movement that wants to remake Canadian politics

Internal document reveals ambitions of anti-LGBTQ group that is part of populist movement

On a recent Sunday morning in Waterloo, Ont., pastor Jacob Reaume gripped a lectern and issued a warning to his congregation.

“A Christless existence leads to the dark, hopeless abyss of death,” he told around 200 people at Trinity Bible Chapel, an evangelical church on the outskirts of the city.

Much of the sermon, delivered last December, was devoted to a trans student at a Christian university in nearby Hamilton who had died by suicide a few weeks earlier.

“If you’re going to live a lie to the point where you’re willing to mutilate your own body, it’s going to send you into dark despair,” Reaume said.


Of course the nations public broadcaster is firmly on the side of child sexual mutilation fetishists.

The CBC should have a special trial at Nuremburg 2.0.

‘Appearance of bias’ undermines special rapporteur’s mission, Singh says

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says that despite special rapporteur David Johnston’s personal credibility, the appearance of bias in favour of the Liberal government is undermining the very work that he’s trying to accomplish.

“I believe he’s a person that is very credible and has worked for the country in a way that is really honourable,” Singh said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live Sunday.

“The problem we’re up against, though, is the work he’s supposed to do is restore confidence in our electoral system, and the appearance of bias is so strong now that he can no longer do that work. The trust necessary is eroded because of the appearance of bias,” Singh told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

It’s Now or Never

That watermelon looks racist.

It has by now become starkly obvious that the leftist attack on the Judeo-Christian West proceeds on three main fronts: Christianity, the family, and borders. The attack is gathering momentum and mounting success, as resistance, at least on the official and communications levels, is distressingly scattered. A brief overview of the logistics of the campaign may be in order, in the interests of simple clarity.

“White Supremacy” Now Covers Mexicans, Indians, and Blacks

White Slaves in Africa ~ Forgotten History of the Sultans & Barbary Pirates

To the social justice-obsessed left, omnipresent White Supremacy™ is the boogeyman that infiltrates every aspect of life. This is literal; mathematics, punctuality, and the scientific method have all been decried at various times in recent history as the tools of White Supremacy™.

As I recently covered at Armageddon Prose, even waking up early is framed as a racist hate crime against BIPOCs.

Now, the White Supremacist™ label has expanded to include Mexicans, Indians, and blacks.

“Olivia Chow is everybody’s target”: With three weeks left, the mayor’s race comes into focus

With just three weeks to go before Toronto elects a new mayor, the campaign is narrowing to a single question: can anyone stop Olivia Chow?

The former NDP MP has been riding high in the polls since she entered the race in mid-April, and for the past month she’s enjoyed a sustained lead with about 30 per cent of decided voters saying they back her, according to the Star’s poll tracker.

No service, no tip

The tradition of tipping the servers at upscale restaurants goes back a long way and has generally been seen as a fixture of polite society. (Raise your hands if you’re old enough to remember what “polite society” looked like.) There were always good reasons for it, particularly since most states still allow eateries to pay the wait staff well below minimum wage.

Canada sticking with 2050 net zero targets says brain damaged minister

Canada sticking with 2050 net zero targets, but progress may come faster than expected, minister says

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says the federal government is not ruling out finding ways to achieve net zero sooner than the existing 2050 goal, but would not say whether there would be a definitive commitment to move up the target.

The government’s current target is to hit net zero emissions — the point at which the amount of greenhouse gas emitted is equal to the amount that is removed from the atmosphere — by 2050, a goal shared by the other G7 countries. But in March, a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change prompted United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to encourage developed countries move up their net-zero timelines to 2040.


Net Zero Lunacy from the Times – Time’s up for Drax’s tree-burning racket

… The most heinous example of this racket is the way the government has subsidised the wood-chip burning (“biomass”) of Drax to the extent of many billions of pounds. This Yorkshire-based power station company does not burn a single British tree among the 27 million it gets through a year. It imports all its wood chips — mostly shipped in colossal diesel-powered vessels across the Atlantic from forests in Canada and Louisiana.

As I wrote here in February: “The CO2 ‘chimney emissions’ in the process are not recorded in the UK’s carbon accounts . . . they are on the American and Canadian carbon balance sheet.” Crazier still, more than £6 billion of subsidies have been funnelled to Drax — it would not have a viable business model otherwise — on the basis that its contribution to the national grid is “carbon neutral” because these millions of trees are replaced by newly planted ones that will absorb carbon in the atmosphere as they grow.

Utah primary schools ban Bible for ‘vulgarity and violence’

A school district in the US state of Utah has removed the Bible from elementary and middle schools for containing “vulgarity and violence”.

The move follows a complaint from a parent that the King James Bible has material unsuitable for children.

Utah’s Republican government passed a law in 2022 banning “pornographic or indecent” books from schools.

Most of the books that have been banned so far pertain to topics such as sexual orientation and identity.

Social media sleuths believe an artist hired to decorate an NYPD vehicle to celebrate Pride Month snuck an anti-police acronym into the design.

The buzz began after NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell’s Twitter page posted a photo of an agency cruiser decked out in a rainbow design for Pride Month.

The patrol car featured the phrase “PRIDE MONTH” with the phrase “All Colors Are Beautiful” underneath.
