Barbara Kay: The ‘Great Feminization’ is eating Jewish institutions alive

In September, public intellectual Helen Andrews caused a stir when she delivered a provocative 17-minute speech, titled “Overcoming the Feminization of Culture,” to the National Conservatism Conference, later published as an article for Compact, titled “The Great Feminization.”

Andrews summarized feminization as the prioritizing of feminine over masculine interests, but additionally prioritizing “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition.” All these traits combine, she believes, in institutions where females are numerically dominant, to define “wokeness” and “cancel culture.”

Make Money Not War

Trump to host two African leaders! That was a footnote to world news last week still dominated by efforts to stop the Ukraine war.

However, to those who follow African affairs, the triangular meeting at the White House looked like a miracle.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame seemed determined to end a decades-long war that, despite claiming at least as many victims as the current war in Ukraine or the recent war in Gaza, never hit global headlines.

The Conservatives say they will table a motion in the House of Commons next week asking whether MPs support an oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast and any “appropriate adjustment” to the oil tanker ban on B.C.’s north coast.

Britain’s nuclear submarine fleet ‘no longer fit for purpose’

Britain is “no longer capable” of running a nuclear submarine programme after “catastrophic” failures pushed it to the brink, a former Navy chief has said.

In an extraordinary critique, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias said the UK’s “silent service” was facing an “unprecedented” situation from which it was highly unlikely to recover without radical intervention.

The former director of nuclear policy at the Ministry of Defence said delays in building new attack boats had reached record levels, while the duration of patrols for crews in nuclear-armed submarines had been driven up from 70 days during the Cold War to more than 200 days now.

Can Canadian oil producers afford the deal Mark Carney made with Alberta?

OTTAWA — The energy industry will have to bear significant costs to fulfill Alberta’s pipeline and carbon-capture deal with Ottawa, all while oil prices are at a five-year low.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney, envisions the construction of one or more “private sector constructed and financed pipelines,” as well as the Pathways carbon-capture project. The combined cost of those projects is likely to be more than $50 billion. They would also only be the first step, as filling the million-barrels-per-day pipeline, along with other proposed pipeline expansions, would require new oilsands facilities costing tens of billions of dollars.

Carney’s Indians will stop any new pipelines.

Canada’s crypto tax crackdown reaps millions. So why no criminal charges?

VANCOUVER – A team of Canada Revenue Agency “cryptoasset auditors” has been mining a rich seam of unpaid taxes, working on more than 200 files and reaping more $100 million in the last three years.

While the agency says up to 40 per cent of taxpayers who use cryptoasset platforms either haven’t filed their taxes or are at high risk of non-compliance, no criminal charges have been laid since 2020.

Court filings involving a Vancouver-based crypto firm suggest the federal government’s efforts to rein in crypto-based tax evasion and illicit financing are hampered by limited resources for enforcement in a space hallmarked by its borderless anonymity.

Trump Offers Europe Tough Love: Defend Yourself Within Two Years

‘The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over,’ the president’s new Security Strategy says.

Europe should have the soldiers and equipment to defend itself two years from now, by the end of 2027. That is the gist of President Trump’s Security Strategy, released yesterday.

“The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over,” reads the strategy document that sets the parameters for the second Trump term. Earlier this year, in face of Trump Administration impatience with Europe, the European Union set a target of making the continent ready to defend itself by 2030. With major shortfalls in air defense, cyber warfare, intelligence and drones, many analysts warned  the goal was over ambitious.

Trump forced Canada to scrap its digital services tax — but did he save Carney from bad policy?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney rescinded Canada’s digital services tax (DST), a three per cent levy on digital services revenue from large domestic and foreign businesses, in June after President Donald Trump threatened to halt trade talks if the tax took effect. The repeal was a strategic move to restart stalled negotiations with the United States, which soon resumed after Carney’s announcement but were again disrupted later … by a Ronald Reagan ad. Despite removing the DST to ease tensions, Carney has little to show for it.
