Incompetence or the realities of war? Turmoil for Canadian-led foreign battalion in Ukraine

The Canadian military veteran who calls himself Hrulf says he realized after his first combat experience in Ukraine several weeks ago that he could have died, multiple times.

Coming under small-arms, artillery and aerial fire from Russian forces was a “living hell,” he said.

But the Quebec native is now battling a different kind of foe, as he and the Norman Brigade foreign-fighter unit he commands come under serious criticism from several of the brigade’s former members.

OMG how racist!

Canada’s top soldier says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created an unstable global environment and military supply chains need to accelerate significantly to respond to the crisis.

“Given the deteriorating world situation, we need the defence industry to go onto a wartime footing and increase their production lines to be able to support the requirements that are out there, whether its ammunition, artillery, rockets, you name it,” Gen. Wayne Eyre told CBC News Network’s Power & Politics.

An increase in production can only be considered if the processed is designed through a transgender bipoc lens.

Canadian defence minister was briefed on UFOs ahead of U.S. intel report

Ahead of the release of a much-anticipated U.S. intelligence report on aerial phenomena, former Canadian defence minister Harjit Sajjan received a briefing on UFOs.

Documents obtained by CTVNews.ca reveal the June 2021 briefing followed a flurry of mainstream media coverage about a then-upcoming report on U.S. military sightings of “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAP, the term American officials use for what are more commonly known as unidentified flying objects and UFOs.

“I expect I am not alone in noting the recent increase in comment regarding Unidentified Flying Objects in the media internationally, particularly in the U.S.,” Sajjan’s then-chief of staff wrote in a May 19, 2021 email to senior defence officials. “I believe it is prudent to request a full briefing for Minister Sajjan from the Canadian perspective on this issue.”

Canada Not The Baby Killing Paradise Advertised By Trudeau Government Says Politico

While the offers from Trudeau’s government and providers are sincere, the reality is that access in Canada is complicated and “wait lists are through the roof.”

OTTAWA, Ont. — The Trudeau government wants it known that Canada is open to any Americans who may need to travel north to access an abortion.

Senior Cabinet ministers have been making the point in the wake of a draft opinion obtained by POLITICO that suggests the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and federal abortion rights in America.

Liberal Women Threaten Sex Strikes to Save Roe, to No One’s Dismay

Heresy! Men can be birthing persons!

If you’ve been on social media at all this week, you’ve probably been amused by some of the unhinged reactions from the left to the leaked draft majority opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. They were full of apocalyptic predictions by people who don’t understand what overturning Roe v. Wade would actually do. Be that as it may, it is widely believed that the draft opinion was leaked in order to allow for a pressure campaign to take place in the hopes that some justices could be swayed before the final opinion is released.

Idiots. Don’t they know the jab made them infertile?

Charest, Poilievre spar over convoy, Huawei in raucous Conservative leadership debate

The two front-runners in the race for the Conservative Party’s top job traded blows over their records in the first leadership debate of the campaign Thursday.

Making it clear who he thinks his main opponent is, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre used much of his speaking time to attack former Quebec premier Jean Charest, a man he branded as a tax-hiking Liberal interloper.

Poilievre accused Charest of being too critical of the anti-vaccine mandate protest convoy that occupied much of downtown Ottawa earlier this year, saying he was proud to stand with “law-abiding” and “peaceful” truckers who were protesting COVID-19 restrictions.

Only chicanery could prevent a Poilievre victory after this debate and the CPC braintrust are just the men for the job.
