I fought for investment in Canada’s defence as international order eroded

During my time as the chief of the defence staff, the global security situation changed profoundly, and not for the better. The confluence of security stressors – geopolitical order, climate change, acceleration of technological change and societal dynamics – presented challenges perhaps unique in the long arc of human history. The international order established at the end of the Second World War was eroding. Climate change was spurring conflict, human migration and natural disasters. Rapid technological advance was not only changing the character of war, but also how countries pursue national objectives. Social order was becoming fraught with division. By 2022, especially after Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, I came to believe that we were undergoing a turning point in global security affairs.

The IRGC and Muslim Brotherhood: An Alliance America Can’t Ignore

Western strategy in the Middle East has long suffered from a fatal conceptual flaw: treating Islamic fundamentalist movements as isolated, strictly sectarian entities. If the United States is to liberate Iran from the brutal oppression of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), eliminate the existential threat to Israel, and structurally reduce terrorism across the region, it cannot afford to view the IRGC as “the enemy” — however much the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran has cast it into the limelight. Instead, American foreign policy must simultaneously target the Muslim Brotherhood, recognizing that the IRGC and the Brotherhood are a long-standing symbiotic, cross-sectarian alliance.

Jamie Sarkonak: She was a rape accuser’s greatest ally. Now, she regrets it

In 2015, when the University of British Columbia began to reckon with sexual assault allegations by a mature student against Steven Galloway, the school’s most high-profile creative writing professor, it had the help of an inquisitor.

Chelsea Rooney circulated the unproven allegations that Galloway had raped a student (which were later found to be unsubstantiated by a retired judge tasked with investigating the affair for UBC) and did her best to gather more, contributing to the obliteration of his reputation and career. Now, a decade later, she’s walking it all back with a profuse apology, printed in the Saturday Post.

In her apology, which has also been posted online-09jnn, Rooney admitted that her understanding of and approach to the “believe women” movement was “misguided.”

France: A Sick Country on a Sick Continent

“Who didn’t see that coming? Oh yeah ….the politicians,” noted “The Great Gats” on X.

The French government was reportedly “taken by surprise” when students began rioting roughly two weeks ago to protest conditions — overcrowded classes, dilapidated buildings, vermin and rats, lack of heating and air-conditioning, shortage of teachers — in their schools.

“But,” American journalist Michael Shellenberger writes, ” French schools have more money per pupil today than at any earlier time…. The French government spends 4.5% of gross domestic product on educational institutions, and Germany spends 3.7%.

France has been taken over. Even with 2000 invaders arrested.

Jordan Bardella is 100% sure these riots are happening weekly bc of the unchecked mass immigration Macron and his husband have allowed. 350 cops injured.

Is this what the EU wanted? This what Dems want for the US? https://t.co/k6idtyAoaq

CHARLEBOIS: Your grocer has AI, so who’s looking out for you?

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, including the food supply chain, where established habits and thin margins can make technological change difficult.

Precision agriculture, machine learning and robotics are advancing, but adoption remains uneven. Investment capacity, data quality and access to skilled workers determine who moves ahead and who falls behind.

Mother of Christa Pike’s victim speaks out following botched execution: ‘I broke down in tears’

The mother of the teenager murdered by Christa Pike said she believes she is owed an apology following this week’s botched execution in Tennessee.

Wednesday’s execution attempt came 30 years after Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.

Pike, 50, the only woman on Tennessee’s death row, is in critical condition at a hospital, unconscious and on a ventilator, after her execution failed despite two lethal injections, her attorneys said Friday.

‘Large and demanding’ search continues after debris found from missing Ontario air ambulance

The U.S. Coast Guard has searched roughly 2,840 square miles (roughly 7,355 square kilometres) for six people aboard an Ontario-based air ambulance that went missing over the Atlantic, as crews continue to search the area where debris was found over the weekend.

The Gulfstream G100, operated by Hamilton, Ont.-based Latitude Air Ambulance, was carrying four Canadians and two Bermuda nationals when it disappeared early Saturday while flying from Bermuda to Boston.

Trump Administration Nukes United Nations ‘Pandemic Treaty’

For years, the goblin architects of globo-homo race communism have labored tirelessly behind the scenes, in the shadows where they prefer to operate, to push through a so-called “global pandemic treaty” that would standardize the international response to the impending, much-hyped (probably man-made) pandemic, thereby subverting any national sovereignty that would allow room for individualized decision-making by nation-states.

Canada left without seat on International Ice Hockey Federation’s council

No Canadians have been elected to the International Ice Hockey Federation’s council, a surprising result for a nation considered one of the sport’s powerhouses.

Hockey Canada president and chief executive officer Katherine Henderson was up for one of the minimum three female spots on council at Friday’s election at the IIHF’s semi-annual congress in Tenerife, Spain.

Henderson was eliminated in the second of three rounds of voting. Hungary’s Zsuzsanna Kolbenheyer, Turkiye’s Merve Tunali and Poland’s Marta Zawadzka won the council seats.

Canada is not being invited to a lot of parties of late.

Manhattan ‘mole’ mystery: rumors of lost gold spur clandestine excursions into New York sewers

There’s been one thing in particular that has been intriguing New Yorkers this summer: the existence, and whereabouts, of so-called “mole people” – a mysterious group of individuals who spend at least some of their time wading about in the city’s sewers.

New Yorkers learned a bit more about the phenomenon this week, when two men were caught red – or perhaps another color – handed, after allegedly emerging from a tunnel in Manhattan. Their arrests have shed some light on a slew of instances where people have been witnessed lifting manhole covers and clambering underground.

Bruce Springsteen Rails Against ICE at Anti-Trump Midterm ‘Power to the People’ Get Out the Vote Festival

Columbia, Md. (AP) — In the shadow of Washington, D.C., Bruce Springsteen and a few musical giants had a message for the world: “Let them hear you in Washington,” he cheered.

The Boss played a number of political songs during his headlining set at the inaugural “Power to the People” star-studded protest festival at Columbia, Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion on Saturday. Organized by Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, the festival aimed to celebrate “peace, justice, solidarity, music and community action,” according to its mission statement, and promote voter turnout.

How a terrorism-linked leftist group openly set up shop around a college campus

A pro-Hamas group that led a riot at the University of Washington still operates despite the United States sanctioning its foreign affiliate as a front for terrorism.

Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return UW, or SUPER UW, called on Seattle locals in a September Instagram post to join an Oct. 7 protest marking three years of Israeli “genocide.” The group openly labels itself an ally of the U.S.-designated terrorist group Masar Badil and its youth branch, according to posts documented in a Friday report by George Washington University.

Why Canada is preparing for a (long shot) US invasion

Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted last week that he has prepared for a once-unthinkable scenario – a US invasion.

Noting the risk was low and the likelihood highly improbable, he told the New York Times he had a responsibility to consider all possibilities as the US-Canada relationship is redefined under the Donald Trump presidency.

“That’s just risk management,” Carney said.
