🚨A female inmate is suing the New Jersey Department of Corrections after alleging she was raped by a violent trans-identified male transferred to the women's prison.

In response, an attorney for the state suggested that the female inmate was transphobic.

As a Chief, this conversation is personal to me.

There is no serious doubt that China is interfering in Canada through elections, investments, organized crime, and political influence.

But I had also seen reports of China targeting First Nations communities.

What I did not fully understand was the depth of that strategy, the impact it could have, or the relationships being built until this conversation with @scoopercooper.

It’s personal because many First Nations are seeking investment to grow their economies, create jobs, and lift their communities out of poverty. That matters.

But so does protecting our democracy. No foreign government should be shaping our politics, exploiting vulnerable communities or interfering in our domestic affairs.

Sam Cooper and I discuss China’s approach to First Nations, foreign interference, CSIS’s warnings, which political party would actually stand up to Beijing, and what Canada needs to do next.

“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
