So he tried an experiment, he updated his resume to have a common Indian last name ‘Singh’
He says he’s already gotten 3 callbacks

The Canadian military is grappling with a range of challenges linked to an easing of recruitment standards, including new members who lack proficiency in English or French or who face significant mental health issues.
The concerns appear in a leaked report written by the commander of a core military training school in Quebec, first covered by Juno News earlier this week. The report says the changes are hurting completion rates of basic training.
Good idea to give them guns?
Two federal indictments unsealed this week provide fresh evidence that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging an unconventional war against the United States, one that targets American lives, security, and scientific edge through hacking and industrial-scale drug trafficking.
On April 27, Chinese national Xu Zewei appeared in a federal court in Houston after being extradited from Italy. He faces a nine-count indictment for hacking campaigns between 2020 and 2021. According to prosecutors, officials of China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and Shanghai State Security Bureau (SSSB) recruited Xu and co-conspirator Zhang Yu in early 2020 and instructed the pair to break into U.S. universities and steal research on vaccines, treatments, and testing from leading immunologists and virologists.
I was, in an intellectual sense, as prepared as I could be for the end of my grandmother’s life – a life that began in the suburbs of Budapest, in 1935, and ended in Toronto, just over 80 years later.
In that time, she had lived through the piece-by-piece destruction of her world, first by fascists, then Nazis, then communists – the original incarnations of these still undefeated movements. She had seen her mother and father dispossessed of their belongings and their home – legally, at the time. She witnessed the sudden (equally legal) disappearance of her father, then the sudden and permanent disappearance of her aunts and uncles. When she returned to her small and mostly Jewish neighbourhood after the war, she found almost every other child she used to know was no longer there, leaving behind grieving parents.
Keir Starmer entered Downing Street promising the political equivalent of a monastery. He was silent on matters of substance, except to say that his administration would be founded on integrity, service, and an end to scandal—a government ‘whiter than white’ with the adults, finally, back in the room. No more circus. No more rogues. Just a decent, serious man restoring trust after the bacchanal of Boris Johnson and a Tory party that went through leaders like others are rumoured to go through Ukrainian rent boys. Exhausted by 14 years of Tory chaos, the nation acquiesced to the Ming vase strategy.
The Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) says various evolving forms of violent extremism are becoming increasingly difficult to address and even understand, with secret and anonymous online radicalization challenging investigators’ ability to keep pace.
The agency’s annual report released Friday said violent extremism “continues to pose a significant threat to Canada’s national security and remains a critical operational priority for CSIS,” noting such extremism is “motivated by an increasingly diverse range of beliefs and convictions.”
Time is running out to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci. After May 11, Fauci — the man touted as “America’s doctor” during the pandemic and who led the US response — will be clear of the five-year statute of limitations. Past that date, he can’t be indicted over allegations that he lied to Congress about the origins of Covid or the US government’s role in funding research that may have led to the pandemic.
Six years after a contagion that killed millions and wrecked the global economy, one of the great unanswered questions of Covid is, how did it begin? Today, an overwhelming majority of Americans reject what in 2020 was more or less the official (but outlandish) story: namely, that the novel coronavirus sprang from a wet market in Wuhan, China, and somehow jumped from bats — or pangolins? — to humans.
You have to be kidding. That is the only reaction many Canadians will have when they fully understand what Ottawa has done to our citizenship laws. This is not a technical adjustment buried in legislation. It is a fundamental shift in what it means to be Canadian, and it risks turning something that once carried weight into something that is handed out with little regard for connection, commitment, or contribution.
Bill C-3, passed into law last December, removes the long-standing limit on how citizenship is passed down to children born abroad. For years, Canada restricted citizenship by descent to one generation after a family left the country. That rule was not arbitrary. It was grounded in common sense. It ensured that citizenship remained tied to people with a real, ongoing relationship to Canada. Now, that guardrail is gone, and citizenship can be passed down across multiple generations, even when families have not lived here for decades.
The first Monday in May is the most dazzling night in the fashion calendar, when the most wealthy, famous and influential people gather for the Met Gala in New York.
The event on Monday will be chaired by Vogue boss Anna Wintour – who has been in charge of it for more than 30 years – alongside tennis player Venus Williams, actress Nicole Kidman and singer Beyonce.
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos are the sponsors.
Not attending? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – yet again.
Is this it?
Is this all a galaxy brain in control of a government within sight of 50 per cent in the polls can offer in the midst of a crisis? A bit of a nip here, a bit of a tuck there, but all-in-all keeping Canada on the same rotten economic trajectory?
Welcome to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “spring economic update”: continuity of Justin Trudeau, a bit of a fiddling while Canada burns.
Sometimes you have to wonder what the point of fighting the decline of Western Civilization is.
It seems inevitable, and enough people seem to tolerate it that it’s easy to think about giving up, moving someplace where the deterioration will take longer or be avoided by a large enough concentration of people who share our values, so sanity will prevail.
There was a time when young people in this country outearned retirement-aged Canadians. That time was long ago, and after a brief respite during the pandemic, the generational gap is widening once again.
On Wednesday Statistics Canada released its income survey of Canadians for 2024, revealing that the median aftertax income for Canadian households was $75,500 that year, more or less flat compared to 2023 after adjusting for inflation.
Despite Donald Trump’s frequent bluster, Nadine Firmont said the US president’s move to pull American troops out of Germany had hit her town like a bombshell.
“I have to tell you I was honestly shocked,” said Firmont, 45, who works at a high school in Landstuhl, south-west Germany, the heart of the largest American military community outside the US.
Even with previous drawdowns and discussions of US redeployments, Trump’s angry outburst carried a blunt menace that startled Firmont and her neighbours.
As the youngest of five children, Joe Boucher learned a lot from his older brothers and sister – how to ride a bike, how to navigate the miles of forest behind their house and how to skate and play hockey. But one thing he didn’t really pick up from them is how to speak French.
Although both of Boucher’s parents were of French-Canadian descent and spoke French with each other, it was once illegal to teach French in school in the US state of Maine, where the Bouchers lived. And so his siblings, amongst themselves, defaulted to English.
“Shame was heaped upon French speakers as being second-class citizens,” he recalls.
One of the jokes in high rotation in the late M. Stanton Evans’s repertoire involved a teleprompter miscue, a la Ron Burgundy in Anchorman, in which the newsreader discussed events concerning World War Eleven. Other listeners of the joke, I assume, also regarded it as of dubious origin, told to illustrate not a literal but a figurative truth, i.e., human evolution took a U-turn on intelligence several decades back.
