Military spent $78K on gender equity housing study as forces fail landlord audit

Not a Lesbian.

The Canadian Armed Forces spent tens of thousands of dollars on a “gender equity” review of military housing while simultaneously failing a federal audit that found troops living in aging, substandard quarters and stuck on long waiting lists.

Blacklock’s Reporter says records tabled in the House of Commons show cabinet approved a $78,400 contract for a seven-month “gender based analysis” of the Canadian Forces Housing Agency, even as auditors concluded the military was not meeting its basic obligations as a landlord

Mark Carney’s journey from climate ‘visionary’ to pipeline promoter

Cowboy Carney

When Mark Carney arrived on the Canadian political stage, Richard Brooks’s colleagues sought out his professional opinion.

Would they be dealing in the Liberal prime minister with a friend of the environment or a foe?

Brooks, the head of climate finance with Canadian advocacy group Stand.Earth, has followed Carney’s meteoric rise over the last decade from staid central bank governor to global climate guru to the Prime Minister’s Office.


Watch what he does not what he says. He left plenty of ways to block his “pipeline”.

Can the Dark Ages Return?

Western civilization arose in the 8th century B.C. Greece. Some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate 400-year-old Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece.

But what re-emerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique, and free markets – what we know now as the foundation of a unique Western civilization.

Canada’s Security Chief Met with Muslim Leader to Fight ‘Islamophobia.’ Then This Happened.

Dan Rogers, the head of Canada’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, had a friendly meeting recently with the CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, Stephen Brown. They got together to discuss ways that the Canadian government could combat “Islamophobia,” but for Rogers, the timing of this meeting was not just bad; it was catastrophic.

SMOL: Time for a grown-up conversation about Mark and Jennie’s Canadian citizen-militia

It has taken me a while to absorb the recent proposal by the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jennie Carigan, clearly supported by Prime Minister Mark Carney, to raise a 300,000-strong “citizen militia” in peacetime.

The proposal suggests this would be built initially on a cadre of civil servants given a week’s military training to prepare for war.

We are not all brothers

Dan Elkayam was a young French engineer from Le Bourget, in Seine-Saint-Denis, today almost devoid of Jews. On the first night of Hanukkah, like many young Jews far from home, he went to forge a bond with his people during the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah. As bullets began to fly, Dan rushed to shield a little girl with his own body and died under the terrorists’ gunfire.

Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman was killed while protecting his wife Larisa. Both Alex and Larisa survived the Holocaust as children: Alex had to endure “terrible conditions” in Siberia. Years of malnutrition and cramped conditions left Kleytman partially disabled.

‘Never Mind’: Liberals Increasingly Walking Back From Apocalyptic Predictions Over Climate Change

It’s been a cold winter so far in the Midwest and much of the Northeast, early-in-the-season snow even at Washington, D.C., and temperatures falling to freezing and below in much of the South. Come to think of it, North America’s 2024-25 winter was pretty cold too. It’s gotten to the point that “polar vortex” is a phrase on just about everyone’s lips.

Ukraine: Russia’s Hollow Victory

The latest haggling over ending the war in Ukraine appears to be focused on three elements, two of which could be labeled “promissory” and one “instant delivery.”

The instant delivery bit concerns an agreement to let Russia keep the chunk of Donbas it has conquered. That is what US President Donald Trump calls “territorial concession” by Ukraine.

In his latest meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seemed to have accepted such an outcome with the caveat that it be regarded as de facto rather than de jure.

Canada cancels intake for two economic immigration programs

Ottawa is cancelling the intakes of two economic immigration programs in its attempt to manage backlogs and reduce immigration levels.

On Friday, the Immigration Department said it will stop accepting new applications for the Start-Up Visa program — Canada’s only business immigration program — beginning on Jan. 1. Officials will also immediately pause the intake of the Home Care Worker Immigration pilots until further notice.


More Liberal media BS? Is this the real reason the “caregiver” program is being shut down?
