Canada’s top soldier says the military is on the ‘cusp’ of rapid change

Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre says the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is facing many new challenges and will need to move quickly to cope.

In a speech delivered to one of Ottawa’s “Mayor’s Breakfast” networking events, Eyre said the military will need to adapt swiftly to changes in technology, geopolitics and culture to be effective.

He didn’t mince words when speaking about the CAF’s need to modernize.

“Overall, the armed forces that we have today is not the armed forces we need for the future,” he said.

“We are on the cusp of so much change that has to come.”

‘Consumers Lose’: Biden’s Ethanol Gambit Will Send Food Prices Soaring, Critics Say

  • Corn prices, and therefore meat prices, are expected to surge amid the global food shortage following President Joe Biden’s latest attempt to ease gasoline prices, according to industry groups and experts.
  • “It certainly would be expected to drive up food prices and it will likely hurt meat producers because they rely on the feed,” Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Daren Bakst told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview.
  • “Further and artificial demand for corn created by this administration will likely increase the cost of corn and all food products dependent on corn and corn oil inputs,” National Chicken Council President Mike Brown told the DCNF.

Trudeau Trying to Shut Down Independent Journalism in Canada, Says Rebel News Founder

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is trying to silence journalists who challenge his policies while giving special privileges to those who toe the line, an independent Canadian journalist told Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tuesday.

Ezra Levant, founder and CEO of Rebel News, said the Trudeau government has instituted a “Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization license” that gives licensed journalists tax subsidies and other favorable treatment.

“It’s not yet illegal to do journalism without the license,” Levant said, but he fears that “the worst is yet to come.”

The Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) Thursday for the first COVID-19 diagnostic test using breath samples.

What they’re saying: “Today’s authorization is yet another example of the rapid innovation occurring with diagnostic tests for COVID-19,” Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in the press release.

Soldier “Drag Queen Bingo” And Critical Race Theory In The Canadian Armed Forces

Internal communications from the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) reveal a military increasingly preoccupied with concepts like equity, critical race theory (CRT) and gender ideology.

Instances range from a “drag queen bingo” event for CAF members, instructions to root out right-wing political opinions and claims that soldiers were encouraged to read anti-racist literature like Robin Diangelo’s book White Fragility.

A CAF member who asked to remain anonymous over fears of reprisal shared with True North multiple emails and documents sent out to military personnel, revealing material chock-full of woke ideology.

Justin Trudeau Has Often Embraced The Most Cynical Elements Of Populism

The Liberal PM makes use of populism when it suits him, and then pretends to be against it.

Looking at the rhetoric from the establishment media and the Jean Charest campaign, it becomes clear that the line of attack against Pierre Poilievre will be to accuse him of being a ‘populist,’ and then claiming that populism is ‘bad’ and ‘dangerous.’

Media Bias Toward Non-Christian Holidays Points To Canada’s Future

It’s springtime in Canada, a time of year which brings forth a run of religious holidays. Within contemporary society, institutional treatment of religious celebrations reveals a great deal regarding our social condition.

Drilling down on the subject elicits some curious observations. If Canadians didn’t know better, they might believe a serious dose of favouritism exists in media presentation.

‘Gayest Kids Movie Yet’ From Disney Unleashed On America

It’s being called Disney’s “gayest kids movie yet,” and it comes at a time when Americans are dumping the entertainment giant because of its support for LGBT causes and opposition to Florida’s anti-grooming law giving parents a voice in the education of their children.

Is The New York Times Going Out Of Its Way To Hide The Views Of The Brooklyn Shooter?

When someone with vaguely right-wing views shoots up a public place, the New York Times dedicates hundreds of words to any plausible connection between the shooting and Republican politicians. When the shooter has vaguely left-wing views, it seems the New York Times does what it can to obscure the shooter’s views.

What Covid Crimes Will Victims Not Forgive?

History has altered course. Lockdowns saw the belittling of whole populations by a neo-feudal elite, while that elite, with astonishing frequency, was stoutly defended by those same belittled populations. Monocultural autocracies allied with powerful corporate barons have now emerged within Western governing institutions, yielding a system that approximates Benito Mussolini’s concept of fascism.

FBI Compelled Apple, Google to Hand Over Information on Project Veritas Journalists in Biden Diary Probe

The FBI sought and obtained both subpoenas and orders prohibiting the subpoenaed parties—Apple and Google—from disclosing the existence of the subpoenas in the bureau’s investigation into a diary from Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter, according to newly released documents.

The bureau also was working to find evidence showing “the location of Ashley Biden’s property.”

Trans: A Dangerous Youth Subculture

My teenage daughter has decided that she is “trans”. So have all her friends. Not some of them. Not most of them. Every. Single. One.

She had never heard of trans, and had no signs of gender dysphoria, until she was moved to a new, cool trans-friendly school by her unsuspecting, politically liberal parents. There she met a group of geeky (or dare I say nerdy?), smart, slightly (but not very) gender nonconforming, artsy kids. As I understand it, they all discovered “trans” together. The old “cis” friends were swiftly discarded in favour of this exciting new peer group.

“This Is an Organized Crime Story”

“This Is an Organized Crime Story”: Putin Critic Bill Browder’s New Book on Corruption in Russia Finds New Relevance

… For years, Browder has been an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, and devoted his life to exposing corruption in Russia after his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was tortured and beaten before he died in a Russian prison after being denied proper medical care for pancreatitis. For the past several years, he has urged the passage of the Magnitsky Act, in the U.S. and countries around the world, to punish those who commit human rights abuses. In Browder’s telling, he was analogously trapped in a glass box; he claims his warnings about Putin fell on deaf ears. “If we had used sanctions before the invasion, we could have done a much smaller amount of sanctions and it would’ve had a much bigger effect and the reason I say that is because Vladimir Putin has had a history over the last 20 years of doing terrible things and not having robust reactions to his terrible things,” he had told me earlier in the day at the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District. The U.S. should give Volodymyr Zelenskyy the no fly zone, he added.

The rise of the liberal groomer

Not every desire deserves to be empowered

Does progress have to mean the sexual liberation of children? Michel Foucault thought so, as did many of the now high-ranking Labour Party members who once supported the Paedophile Information Exchange. Sexual interest in children is hardly unique to the modern world, of course, or indeed the West. Child sex slaves were socially acceptable in ancient Rome, and the longstanding practice of bacha bazi in Afghanistan still sees young boys feminised and abused by adult men.

Nor is paedophilia unique to the progressive Left. Just this week, Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy, prompting fellow Tory MP and LGBTQ advocate Crispin Blunt to declare angrily that Khan’s conviction was a “dreadful miscarriage of justice” and “nothing short of an international scandal”.

Ukraine can win this war – 50 days on and Ukraine is still standing strong.

On 25 February, the day after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, the Russian warship Moskva opened fire on Snake Island, a strategically important rocky outcrop in the Black Sea. Facing imminent capture, Snake Island’s hopelessly outgunned Ukrainian defenders told the Moskva to ‘Go fuck yourself’.

At the time, this brief, hopelessly uneven battle seemed to capture in miniature outside observers’ grim expectations of the conflict. Ukrainians would certainly be brave and defiant. But, before the might of the Russian army, navy and airforce, their resistance was bound to be futile. This was a war that Russia was going to win, and it was probably going to do so easily and swiftly.

Woman with chemical sensitivities chose medically-assisted death after failed bid to get better housing

A 51-year-old Ontario woman with severe sensitivities to chemicals chose medically-assisted death after her desperate search for affordable housing free of cigarette smoke and chemical cleaners failed, advocates say.

The woman’s assisted death appears to be a first in the world for someone diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), a chronic condition also referred to as an environmental illness or environmental allergies, say patient support groups and doctors familiar with her case.

… Environmental allergies are a condition clouded by controversy and disbelief, even in the medical community. MCS can occur either through a single exposure to high levels of chemicals or constant low-level proximity to them. Some people become hypersensitive to common chemicals used in perfumes, cleaners, pesticides and smokes.
