A round of golf with Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and President Donald Trump triggered a surge of criticism from left-wing Canadian social media users over the weekend, with many accusing Gretzky of showing disloyalty to Canada and aligning himself with a supposed fascist.

A new Canadian Army equipment program that could be worth almost $500 million is designed to select only U.S.-provided equipment, despite claims by Prime Minister Mark Carney the military will be reducing purchases of American systems.
The Joint Fires Modernization program will cost between $250 million and $499 million and see the acquisition of hardware and software to enable the Canadian Army to digitally share data and targeting information between its various units and coalition forces.
Billboard magazine released its 50 Greatest Rock Bands. The list tells us more about the listers than the listed.
The all-female Sleater-Kinney, the all-Mexican Café Tacvba, and the all-black Earth, Wind, and Fire numbered among Billboard’s peculiar “inclusive” inclusions. Even members of Sleater-Kinney, Café Tacvba, and Earth, Wind, and Fire never considered themselves as playing in one of the greatest rock bands ever.
What happens when a government survives a big test, but the country still feels stuck?
That is where Canada finds itself today. The Carney government survived its first major budget vote and avoided a holiday election. On paper, that is a win. Our latest Abacus Data survey, conducted between Nov. 20 and 27 with 2,421 adults, shows the Liberals have gained a bit of ground. But the larger story is not a big bounce. It is a stalemate.
I am taking this very personally and think perhaps she is directing her words towards me.

TORONTO—It seems like a million years ago now, but do you remember the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership? It was signed between Canada and some Pacific nations plus the United Kingdom way back in that long-ago time of 2018. I remember being amused by it—not because of what was in the deal, but because of some of the reporting that emerged around the negotiations. Apparently, some of the other nations were irritated that the Canadian delegation insisted on inserting the word “progressive” into the title. It felt performative, tacked on, and kind of meaningless.

The current “Z” generation — those now roughly between 13 and 28 years old — is becoming our 21st-century version of the “Lost Generation.” Members of Gen Z are often nicknamed “Zoomers,” a term used to describe young adults who came of age in the era of smartphones, social media, and rapid cultural upheaval.
Males in their teens and 20s are prolonging their adolescence — rarely marrying, not buying a home, not having children, and often not working full-time.
What a sad state of affairs.

There’s an old joke that in the 1970s and 1980s, James Q. Wilson waged a one-man battle against a thousand sociologists, criminologists, and other academics. The punchline: “A thousand to one against Wilson—that’s almost a fair fight.” The quip captures both Wilson’s towering intellect—recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, author of dozens of books, and arguably the most important conservative social scientist of the late twentieth century—and the impact of one major strand of his work, launched in high-profile magazine articles and expressed most powerfully in 1975’s Thinking About Crime.

Bullshit. There is no labour shortage.
Canada’s business community simply prefers low wage foreign labour to employing citizens.
Delegations from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey met in Cairo on November 25 to discuss implementation of the second phase of US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the war in the Gaza Strip, which erupted with the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.
VICTORIA — Finance Minister Brenda Bailey released a budget update Thursday confirming that Premier David Eby has thrown away the good financial position he inherited from his NDP predecessor, John Horgan.
The proof is evident in a side-by-side comparison between two financial updates: the last one from the Horgan government, delivered Nov. 25, 2022, and the one Bailey delivered this week.
Eby is one among many who deserve blame more than Trump does.

Growing up in the 1980s, I can still remember being taught in school about the dangers of global warming and the hole in the ozone layer. The narrative was that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, foam insulation, solvents, and aerosol propellants, were depleting the ozone layer, and that this depletion might be irreversible. We were told it would be unsafe to go outside without being covered up, even in the summer, if this came to pass. People were shamed into believing their modern lifestyles were killing the ozone layer.

Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder reinvented himself as a creepy advocate for climate alarmism and other leftist causes, recently stated that he would support the deployment of artificial “geoengineering” technologies to reduce global temperatures by reflecting the Sun’s radiation if the climate reached a “tipping point.” Just over a month ago, Gates backtracked on climate alarmism by pushing back on what he calls the “doomsday outlook.”
