Canada’s military housing shortage has grown to as many as 10,000 units, with new testimony revealing many existing homes are in poor condition and unsuitable for families.
Canadian Forces Housing Agency CEO Paula Zurro told the Commons public accounts committee the gap between available housing and demand now ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 units, with the agency aiming to meet the higher end of that estimate through future construction.
Are women okay? The answer, clearly, is no. Women are not okay. The young ones, especially.
This week, Britain’s New Statesman introduced us to “the Angry Young Women,” an expanding coven of radical, unstable, men-hating, activist women. This is maybe the first time a mainstream outlet in the UK has acknowledged the precipitous leftward drift of young women and the major effects it’s having on British society: on politics, culture, relations between the sexes—pretty much everything you can think of, really.
Whether it’s Israel’s war in Gaza, the “Climate Crisis,” the Patriarchy, racism, or the prospect of a Reform government forcing them out of the workforce and back into the home, there to be tethered to the stove and the marital bed for the rest of their days, Britain’s Angry Young Women are “teetering on the edge of an anxiety attack” at any moment.
As Conservatives wonder if they’ll ever win again, Liberals capture institutions. And that’s how they have a second majority government today, intact even after a change in leadership and a decade in power.
Provincial or federal, private or public, it doesn’t matter. The Liberal Party of Canada probably has at least one tendril in it, because that’s what it’s evolved to do. This has proven to be the most effective strategy around: when the whole landscape is friendly to you and hostile to your biggest opponent, you don’t actually have to do much at all. You can coast on vibes and mediocre performance, and you can even poach some of the other side’s policies and foot soldiers.
We are in deep trouble. Good read.
As the mother of sons, I wish we didn’t spend quite so much time knocking young men. TV talking points like Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere have focussed our attention on problematic blokes to such an extent that few pose an important question: What’s up with the femosphere? It seems that for every male who’s found his mentor in Andrew Tate or the late Charlie Kirk, there’s a young woman who’s been radicalised by Greta Thunberg and AOC (Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to you and me). On both sides of the Atlantic, polling shows young women are far more likely to skew Left than their male counterparts. It’s fair to say this emerging female cohort seems to live in ceaseless dread and fury of fossil fuels, Elon Musk, toxic masculinity, TERFs and neo-Nazis.
Former environment minister Catherine McKenna says the leaders of Canada’s oil industry are figures close to American President Donald Trump who are “taking us for fools” and putting both the economy and environment at risk.
Canada’s official greenhouse gas inventory was published last week. It showed that in 2024, oil and gas production was the only sector in the country to have increased its greenhouse gas emissions.

As you know, I’m finishing up the Weimar America book. In this last chapter, which I writing this weekend, I’m trying to figure out What It All Means, and what we should or could do about it. My conclusion — and I didn’t expect to get here when I started — is that while we may see some version of Hitler 2.0 or Stalin 2.0, the neo-Caesar we are likely to get will have something to do with AI. I’m explaining why in this final chapter — but I’m writing you on a Saturday to share with you this brilliant Bill Maher dialogue about AI’s dangers, which aired last night. It’s about ten minutes long, and well worth watching…

Carney is prepping the Elbow people to be ready for a Canada in steep decline. A decline he orchestrated.

The Atlantic has a well-documented history of publishing fake hit pieces about President Donald Trump and his administration, and one wonders how many more hoaxes they can run before they get in real trouble.
Its latest effort targeting FBI Director Kash Patel may be its most reckless yet — and this time, the bureau is fighting back with lawyers.
At last weekend’s Liberal Party national convention in Montreal, Partrick Pichette, a Canadian who worked for several years as chief financial officer of Google in Silicon Valley, suggested that a good way to keep talented people in the country so they benefit Canada is to charge them a tax of up to $500,000 for the privilege of emigrating.

One of the most persistent and dangerous misreadings of the confrontation with Iran is the stubborn confusion between a brutal ideological regime and the people it has oppressed for nearly five decades.
This is no accident. Tehran has long understood that its best defense is not its missiles or its proxies, but its control of the narrative. In Western capitals, where moral clarity too often yields to political expediency, this confusion produces a strange paralysis: the fear of “hurting the Iranian people” serves as an excuse to tolerate a regime that has hurt them far more cruelly and systematically than any outside power ever has.
WASHINGTON — The US seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship after “blowing a hole” in its engine room when it tried to break past the Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump revealed Sunday.
The USS Spruance destroyer intercepted Iran’s Touska cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, taking custody of the ship after it refused warnings to stop, according to the president.

Former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig told MPs that Ottawa’s agreement with Beijing to open its markets to Chinese electric vehicles puts Canada at risk of “deeper economic entanglement” with China and dependency that could erode Canada’s sovereignty.
Kovrig made the comments as he testified on April 16 before the House of Commons science and research committee, which is studying the implications of the Canada–China preliminary joint arrangement on Canada’s electric vehicle sector.
