Conservative Young Women Flip the Script: Kids First, Then Career

For generations of women, the logic has seemed airtight: Focus on a career in your 20s, and worry about starting a family once you are established in a job.

This mindset has catapulted women into higher-earning positions, and into traditionally male-dominated fields. The share of women in their prime working years who are in the workforce is around a record high. And women are having babies later, if they have them at all. The answer to fertility constraints, they’re told, is egg freezing.

Isabel Brown, 28, didn’t want to wait. She married last year and had a baby this year. She’s now building her career as a conservative activist, hosting a podcast for conservative media company the Daily Wire and speaking on college campuses as a representative for Turning Point, the youth organization Charlie Kirk co-founded.

With its future uncertain, should the NDP pursue power or principles?

OTTAWA—There were cheers. But also some winces.

When Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske asked NDP leadership hopeful Avi Lewis to describe the future of the labour movement in one word during an October forum, he shook his head and raised his hand in protest.

“Can’t do it,” he countered. “It’s two. General. Strike.”

May I suggest MAID?

Thought police arrest Christian preacher for saying ‘God bless you’ at Muslim Palestine protesters

A Christian street preacher arrested for saying ‘God bless you’ to protesters at a Palestinian demonstration claims that police are trying to gag his freedom of speech after arresting him 16 times.

Shaun O’Sullivan says he plans to sue Wiltshire Police after being cleared of racial harassment following a six-day trial in Crown Court, at an estimated cost of £20,000 at the taxpayer’s expense.

Mr O’Sullivan, 36, preaches at Swindon’s evangelical ‘Awaken’ church and on the streets to homeless and addicts on the fringe of society, as he once was.

Pro-Hamas Canadian ‘influencer’ is banned from Australia

Canadian-Palestinian Ousama Alshurafa

A self-proclaimed Muslim ‘influencer’ who commended Hamas in the wake of the October 7 terror attack claims the Australian government is the ‘oppressor’ after his visa was torn up.

Canadian-Palestinian Ousama Alshurafa was at the airport ready to board a flight to Australia, where he was due to commence a speaking tour of capital cities on Friday, when he found out he could not board the plane.

Alshurafa told his more than 3million social media followers he was stopped by security at an airport in Canada and told Australian officials had cancelled his visa.

Tommy Robinson supporters are turning to Christianity, leaving the Church in a dilemma

Gareth Talbot does not necessarily believe in God, but he’s started going to church.

He felt compelled to do so after taking part in one of Tommy Robinson’s rallies in September.

“I never thought I had to choose before, but now I’m feeling like Christianity could be replaced, so that’s why I feel the church needs support,” the 36-year-old from Bradford says.

Gareth talks about the church in England being under “threat”, as he sees it, mainly from Islam. He says his concern is about the extreme elements of Islam, not the religion as a whole.

Cringe No More: Carney Calls Halt To Trudeau’s Feminist Foreign Policy

Prime Minister Mark Carney, backing away from a key international priority of his Liberal predecessors, says his government does not have a feminist foreign policy.

Cabinet ministers under former prime minister Justin Trudeau announced in 2017 that their government had a feminist foreign policy, and they continued to refer to the policy for years after.

Their support deepened further in 2020 when the government promised to draft a full document to define the policy.

But despite years of backroom discussions by federal officials, no document was ever published. And now Mr. Carney is distancing himself from the concept.

US accidentally invades Mexico

Mexican marines react to US border incursion

The US accidentally invaded Mexico after confusing it with Texas.

A group of Pentagon contractors installed signs on a beach in north-east Mexico on Monday declaring it a “restricted area” that was under the control of the US department of defence.

They apparently believed they were in Texas but had accidentally travelled 12 miles south of the border to Playa Bagdad, not realising their mistake until they were intercepted by the Mexican navy.
