The Phantom Stealth Fighter That Exposes Europe’s Deep Divisions Over Defense

Duplicated efforts, fragmented industry and soured collaborations are among reasons region isn’t getting more bang for its defense buck

It was billed as the answer to high-tech U.S. stealth fighters. Instead, an ambitious pan-European project has become a case study into some of what has gone wrong with the region’s defense push.

The French, German and Spanish Future Combat Air System project was meant to build a next-generation aircraft to catch up with the latest U.S., Chinese and Russian models. Now the venture has devolved into bickering between defense companies Airbus and Dassault Aviation—and between Berlin and Paris—over who gets to lead its development, with all sides now questioning its future.

This is who Carney wants us to hook up with, maybe he’ll make Canada a conduit for ChiCom IP theft.

Some guy mouths off

Liberal senator Adler says talk radio rewards ‘white bigotry’ and ‘sewer money’

Liberal-appointed Sen. Charles Adler claims talk radio can be a cash cow for hosts willing to peddle what he calls “white bigotry,” saying his refusal to “tilt right” may have cost him professionally.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Adler made the remarks during an appearance on the podcast Real Talk With Ryan Jespersen, arguing broadcasters who automatically frame conservatives as moral and hardworking while portraying the left as immoral or lazy can reap financial rewards.

Anti-feminist ideology ‘increasingly relevant’ to national security: CSIS

But this is OK.

Senior officials at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) say anti-feminist ideology is becoming “increasingly relevant” to Canada’s national security landscape and may lead to radicalization and violent extremism, but added that the ideology alone does not yet rise to the level of a security threat.

The comments came during testimony last week to the House of Commons standing committee on the status of women, which is conducting a study on the anti-feminism movement that has sprung up in some online circles and advocates for regressive roles for women in society and relationships.

OMG the witnesses names were withheld to protect their identities. No doubt they felt stupid.

Pro-Palestine activists are accused of waging ‘campaign of intimidation’ by going door-to-door asking people to boycott Israeli products

Police are investigating after a group of pro-Palestine canvassers were accused of engaging in a ‘Jew hunt’ as they went door-to-door asking locals to boycott Israeli products.

Campaigner Jean Hatchet and her partner confronted members of the Sheffield Apartheid-Free Zone (AFZ) campaign on Sunday as they went canvassing in the Woodseats area of the northern city.

The altercation turned ugly as Ms Hatchet and her partner yelled ‘Jew Hunt’ at the trio of men. One of the men appeared to headbutt Ms Hatchet’s partner.

That’s a bit Brown-Shirty I’d say.
