Military to spend over $100,000 on personality training

The Department of National Defence is spending $114,200 on a sole-sourced contract for psychometric training aimed at helping Canadian Armed Forces leaders “understand their core emotional motivations and fears.”

The work was awarded to Integrative Enneagram Solutions Ltd., a London-based consultant whose offerings also include workshops on self-esteem and romantic relationships.

Will they ever get round to being a real army as opposed to a woke therapy clinic?

Who controls the food supply? Proposed changes to seed reuse reopens debate

It’s a small change that risks cultivating a big debate.

On one side is the principle of farmer’s privilege — the traditional right of Canadian farmers to save seeds at the end of a growing season and reuse them the next year.

On the other is the principle of plant breeders’ rights — the right of those who develop new seeds and plants to protect and profit from their discoveries.

The issue has been dormant for a decade. Now, proposed changes to government rules regarding plant breeders’ rights are reviving that debate.

Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism

DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.

A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.

“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”

Labour-run council ordering removal of St George’s and Union Jack flags is too scared to take down Palestine flags without police protection, leaked email reveals

A Labour-run council has sparked outrage by ordering the removal of British flags from lampposts – while being ‘too scared’ to take down Palestine flags without police protection.

Bankrupt Birmingham City Council said hundreds of Union and St George’s flags recently hung around the city ‘could put lives at risk’ by endangering motorists and pedestrians.

The flags had been strung up by a small, organised group of residents to ‘show Birmingham and the rest of the country how proud we are of our history, freedoms and achievements’.
