Military Launches Probationary Period for New Recruits Amid Personnel Shortage

Prospective candidates interested in joining the military can now expect an expedited process. If their cultural perspectives post-enrolment do not align with the organization’s established values, however, they could be shown the door in short order.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) launched its new process to speed up recruiting on Dec. 31, which includes the implementation of a probationary period for newly joined members. The CAF announced the change by way of an official “CANFORGEN” message on Jan. 7.

Britain’s post-imperial delusion

We can no longer rely on our American Cousins

I only salvaged a few objects from my late dad’s home when it was cleared. But these included two that could be said to bookend his era of British history. The first was a barometer, presented to a Harrington ancestor “by his colleagues at HM Customs Harwich” in 1903. The second was a 1969 edition of the collected political speeches of Enoch Powell.

The barometer stands for Britain’s seafaring heyday, at which time most vessels would have carried one. Even for a bureaucrat such as my forebear, documenting the fruits of that seaborne trade in the Customs House in Harwich, this object would have been richly symbolic of the peculiar mix of risk-taking and scientific pedantry that characterised our island’s maritime tradition.

MPs are rallying to Carney and Freeland as they prepare leadership bids

OTTAWA — Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and former finance minister Chrystia Freeland are lining up support from Liberal MPs before officially entering the Liberal leadership race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

National Post reached out to nearly all 153 Liberal MPs to ask them who they intend to endorse between Carney, Freeland and Liberal House Leader Karina Gould. Former B.C. Premier Christy Clark decided to drop out of the race, citing her inability to speak French.

Mark Carney wants us to see him as an outsider. That won’t cut it

Asked by The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart about the top contenders who would give the Liberal party its best shot against Pierre Poilievre, Mr. Carney mused about what he jokingly called a wild hypothetical:

“Let’s say the candidate wasn’t part of the government. Let’s say the candidate did have a lot of economic experience. Let’s say the candidate did deal with crises. Let’s say the candidate had a plan to deal with the challenges in the here and now.”

Stewart’s reply—“You sneaky! You’re running as an outsider” — was met with Carney’s ready agreement: “I am an outsider.”

Does This Yale Prof Actually Believe Hegseth Is Part of a ‘Decapitation Strike’ on America?

And if so, what then?

Yale’s Timothy Snyder has a novel take on Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth: He believes that Hegseth intends to end the republic. On X yesterday, Snyder concluded a 13-part thread about Hegseth by proposing that he “represents a policy of regime change” whose “nomination” is “best understood as part of a decapitation strike against the republic” that will usher in a “Christian Reconstructionist war on Americans.”

Gosh.

The Armed Homeowners Defying the Rules of L.A.’s Burn Zones

LOS ANGELES—In the still-smoldering neighborhoods of Altadena, where fires destroyed more than 2,700 structures, about 80 people have defied orders to evacuate, staying behind to protect what is left of their properties from looters and more fires after losing faith in authorities.

Residents, many of them armed, patrol streets and interrogate strangers, living in a Hobbesian world without electricity or clean drinking water. They are hemmed in by yellow caution tape at neighborhood entrances flanked by National Guard troops, Los Angeles County Sheriff deputies and California Highway Patrol officers.

“We do feel like we’re in the Wild West,” said Aaron Lubeley, a 53-year-old lawyer who is one of the holdouts and serves as an unofficial emissary with police and fire representatives.

Jihad Must Have No Place in the West

The jihadist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on January 1, 2025, in which 14 people were murdered by an American who converted to Islam and became an Islamist, should come as no surprise.

This was not the first time that a jihadist in the United States or Europe had attacked in “vehicular jihad.” The Islamic State (ISIS) appears to have “encouraged” it in 2010. ISIS even recommended that to cause “maximum carnage,” it be used preferably in “pedestrian only” sites.

‘Justin Trudeau played India card for vote bank, it didn’t work’: Canadian journalist Tahir Gora

Toronto [Canada], January 14 (ANI): Canadian journalist Tahir Gora believes that outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s diplomatic row with India was a desperate attempt to garner votes, which ultimately backfired.

Trudeau’s popularity had been waning due to his handling of immigration policies and the economy, and his party’s trust in him had begun to erode. He raked up the diplomatic row with India only for his ‘vote bank politics’ which didn’t work, Gora said.

In an online interview with ANI, Tahir Gora said he doesn’t see the India-Canada ties improving anytime soon, irrespective of the results of the next general elections due later this year.

After threats to invade Puerto Rico, President Trump should make an example of Maduro

As world leaders court President Trump and jockey for invitations at his inauguration, it was probably only a matter of time before one of them decided to go the other way, challenging him as ‘weak.’

The stupid fool was Nicolas Maduro, fraudulently installed dictator of Venezuela who just enthroned himself in the faces of Venezuelans. Over the weekend, Maduro declared he wanted to invade Puerto Rico to “liberate” it, using the troops of his socialist ally, Brazil.

What we learned from Canada’s first UFO report in decades … Ross Coulthart’s Whistleblower Reveal

Flying toilet seat UFO, Canada

A new report on unidentified flying objects reveals what the Canadian government’s top scientist thinks about UFO sightings and the way they’re handled.

The first of its kind in Canada in decades, the highly anticipated report makes several bold recommendations, including that cases should be officially investigated in the country. Canada, it concludes, ought to follow the lead of countries like the U.S. and create a “dedicated service” to study sightings of unidentified objects and lights in our skies.

The recommendations are part of a preliminary report from the Sky Canada Project, which was launched in 2022 by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada to investigate how UFO sightings are handled in the country. It is the first known Canadian government UFO research effort in nearly 30 years.

How ‘anti-racist’ policing let grooming gangs run riot

A couple of years ago, I was encouraged to apply to sit on a board that would help the College of Policing produce a new code of ethics. My unsuccessful application was perhaps fatally brief. When asked what attributes should be central to a new code, I replied, simply, ‘moral and physical courage’.

“Anti-racism” is poison.

Maxime Bernier potentially sidelined in upcoming federal election debate

Canada’s Leaders’ Debates Commission has introduced new criteria for participation in the upcoming federal election debates, a move that may exclude Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC).

In the last election, parties needed to meet just one of three criteria to qualify for debates — having at least one MP, achieving 4% of the national vote in the prior election, or showing 4% support in polls at the campaign’s onset. The PPC, despite scoring 4.9% on election day, was sidelined based on polls that allegedly underrepresented their support.

Terry Newman: Mark Carney isn’t who he says he is

On Monday, Mark Carney unofficially threw his hat into the Liberal leadership race during an interview. No. He didn’t choose to go on CTV’s Power Play, hosted by Vassy Kapleos, who no doubt would’ve grilled him on how he’d handle our dire economic situation, as well as the wisdom of his chosen party proroguing Parliament to avoid a non-confidence vote and a likely election, at a time when Donald Trump’s threats should be debated in the House by all MPs, instead of being handled in the shadows by a wildly unpopular minority government.
