Can Canada defend the Arctic? How military exercises in the Far North went off the rails

Can Canada defend the Arctic? How military exercises in the Far North went off the rails

Grey skies, near-constant wind and a snow-dusted, barren landscape stretching down to sandy beaches border the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean. They provided the backdrop for soldiers getting a taste of what it’s like to operate in Canada’s High Arctic.

The land around Resolute Bay in Nunavut features a radar station, several crashed aircraft from decades past, still in pristine condition, and at least one whale skeleton.

But for Canadians seeking reassurance that the military can assert sovereignty over our Arctic, September’s exercises near Resolute Bay were cold comfort.

Toronto police overtime cost taxpayers nearly $45M during the World Cup. Was it money well spent?

Toronto police overtime cost taxpayers nearly $45M during the World Cup. Was it money well spent?

Toronto police spent nearly $45 million on overtime pay for its members to staff the 2026 FIFA World Cup — costs that were incurred over just seven weeks, but which rivalled the force’s non-tournament overtime budget for the entire year.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) says the expenditures were planned in advance and the force doesn’t expect to exceed its World Cup budget. But critics say the overtime costs raise fresh questions about the public dollars Toronto spent to co-host the global sporting event.

Young Canadians are facing historically long bouts of unemployment

Young Canadians are facing historically long bouts of unemployment

Landing a new job after being unemployed can be tough. For a growing share of out-of-work young people, the hunt hasn’t been this difficult since the early 1980s, according to a new study.

Among unemployed men aged 20 to 24, the share who have been out of work for six months or more has spiked to 27 per cent, the highest level since 1983.

For many unemployed women in the same age group, the job search is even worse: 28 per cent have been looking for work for at least half a year, the highest share since at least 1976.


Who exactly are the young Canadians they are referring to?

Multiple Teacher Recruitment Programs Accused Of Racial Rigging, Prompting Civil Rights Investigations

Multiple Teacher Recruitment Programs Accused Of Racial Rigging, Prompting Civil Rights Investigations

Four teacher preparation programs receiving federal dollars are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education after it received “credible reports” that they illegally discriminate by targeting aid toward non-white teachers.

According to information obtained by The Federalist, these programs are “designed to recruit, retain, and support future educators,” but some also operate with explicit racial intent to artificially alter the “diversity” of a teacher workforce by providing services based on race. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which is conducting the investigation, said the programs could be in violation both of Title VI and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for race or sex discrimination, respectively.

AWFLs Under The Microscope

As a psychologist, I have tried to understand the phenomenon of what is casually termed “crazy liberal women,” or “AWFLs” (Affluent White Female Liberals) — those obnoxious, shrieking, irrational, intensively hateful, intrusive women whose mouths are a verbal sewer and who are forever drawing attention to themselves.  One cannot view the women of The View, for example, without recognizing that there is something seriously wrong with them.
