“There is a particular kind of economic vulnerability that comes with being a woman in your 40s.
We do not talk about it enough.
We talk about young women entering the workforce. We talk about the gender pay gap. We talk about maternity leave and affordable childcare.
All of those conversations matter.
But somewhere along the way, women in middle age seem to disappear from the discussion.”

The geriatric activist is a particularly contemptible species of Canadian. Ever single day since the 1960s, these mouth-breathers have gotten out of bed and then proceeded to get in the way of someone useful. The extent to which they've dragged down society is incalculable.

[John Michael Greer @JMGreerWriter]

The authors of The Fourth Turning are themselves Boomers, and one of the most remarkable things about their generation is the messianic sense of self-importance that has gripped so many of its members, and a significant fraction of their immediate elders, since the days when they were capering around in “Daniel Boone”™ coonskin caps.

If you know your way around the failed utopian literature of the last three quarters of a century you know this already: from Charles Reich’s The Greening of America through Marilyn Ferguson’s The Aquarian Conspiracy all the way to Theodore Roszak’s The Making of an Elder Culture, there’s a whole literature of volumes insisting that the Boomers were going to bring about utopia on Earth just by existing, because they’re just so cool.

Myself, as a trailing-edge Boomer who’s watched my generation cash in its ideals at far more than four turnings, I tend to think that the epitaph on the entire generation will be something like this:

Here Lie
THE BOOMERS
1945-2030
They Wasted So Much
They Accomplished So Little

[Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms @JCCFCanada]

Tamara Lich’s sentence ends in January 2027, but the Crown is forcing the entire case back to the Court of Appeal — still demanding 7 years in prison for Lich and 8 years for Chris Barber.

The Justice Centre has funded lawyers to defend Mr. Barber since 2022.

Ontario taxpayers have already spent roughly $15 million on this prolonged prosecution.

This is what political lawfare looks like.

Any cursory examination of the Carney government's actual policy quickly leads one to conclude that it's essentially a Ponzi scheme. Every "trade deal" or "national strategy" or "memorandum of understanding" is ... nothing. There's nothing in them. It's just a Dilbert cartoon.

Opening Canada’s market to electric vehicles from China should be assessed not as a normal trade agreement, but as a tactical gamble that risks deep entanglement, I cautioned in testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research. 1/5

[Charles Burton @cburton001]

Former diplomat Charles Burton, Canada’s preeminent scholar on China and a senior fellow at Sinopsis, a China-focused think tank based in Prague, says the hour is much later than most Canadians realize. Burton says Canada is a “bellwether” country in Beijing’s subversion of developed economies. Before Carney’s election, Canada was already the most deeply compromised member of the G7, and since January’s Canada-China strategic partnership was declared, the Chinese Communist Party’s influence operations in this country have expanded exponentially, Burton told me. “By exploiting Canadians’ natural anger over Washington’s betrayal, the CCP have successfully overseen a campaign of calculated deceit. It’s a classic deflection tactic: by keeping the public’s focus squarely on American betrayal, they effectively defuse and neutralize mainstream concerns about the PRC’s own escalating campaign of subversion, espionage, and transnational repression in Canada.” @sinopsiscz @doublethinklab @opibooks

The Bureau has learned Canada’s government in fact does have police documents that identify serious corruption involving Chinese transnational crime in B.C. that should have been relevant to the Cullen Commission, according to a general description of a specific intelligence record from a federal source that asked not to be identified due to sensitivity of the matter.
The source specified this document from B.C.’s anti-illegal gaming unit (JIGIT) is dated April 16, 2019, and was provided for B.C.’s then Attorney General, David Eby.
The sensitive report is classified “Protected B” the federal source said. The classification means if some of JIGIT’s intelligence became public it could cause “serious injury to an individual, organization or government.”
The Bureau’s legal efforts to obtain a redacted version or some official response regarding this alleged April 2019 document from the RCMP and British Columbia’s government have so far been unsuccessful.
