Circling The Drain

Voters want lots of free stuff, so maybe those things will just pay for themselves, right? Unfortunately, I don’t know of a political party with currently elected members which would make a serious dent in any of that spending.

For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, Desjardins is projecting a $70-billion deficit, although the report acknowledges some estimates from other sources have been as high as $100 billion.

“There is a lot to unpack in the run-up to what will be a truly unprecedented federal budget,” said the report. “Deficits could rise to levels not seen in decades outside of a recession or pandemic, and the debt-to-GDP ratio is likely to be headed in the wrong direction.”

 

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Reduxx;

A Basque cultural camp has come under fire after children in attendance reported disturbing behavior from camp counselors, including being forced to shower nude alongside them. The camp, organized by Euskal Udalekuak, was held from August 8 to 23 in the small town of Bernedo and was facilitated by a controversial trans activist who had previously claimed to “indoctrinate” children.

According to the camp’s website, one of Euskal Udalekuak’s main objectives is to “help children live in Basque, to show that Basque is a useful tool for everyday life, and bring together children from all over the Basque territory so that they can take home from summer camps the richest possible view of Basque and Basque culture.”

However, the camp’s activities reportedly extended beyond language and cultural immersion, also promoting the celebration of “sexual diversity” from a self-described “transfeminist” perspective.

Late last month, Spanish media reported that several children attending the Bernedo camp had written letters to their parents describing inappropriate and sexualized situations allegedly initiated by counselors. Because the children’s cell phones had been confiscated, handwritten letters were their only means of communication. Through these letters, families said they received a disturbing glimpse of what was happening at the camp.

Other incidents described in the letters involved supposed “games” organized by the counselors. One child was allegedly forced to suck a counselor’s toe, while another was made to “drop his pants and show his buttocks to the entire camp.” Children who participated in these “games” were reportedly rewarded with food.

Local residents in the community were the camp took place said that it was common to see the camp counsellors walking topless around town, bathing naked in the swimming pool, and even smoking cannabis around the children themselves, according to El Correo Vasco.

Disturbingly, it has since been revealed that a top director of the organization that runs the camp is a non-binary trans activist radical who had previously boasted of “queering” children.

O, Great Spirit Of Cascadia

Hear my drum.

A motion calling on the Vancouver Park Board to officially apologize for hosting an upcoming Harry Potter attraction passed Tuesday in a unanimous vote.

Members of the city’s transgender, gender diverse and Two Spirit communities had expressed concerns about the decision to partner with the event this holiday season due to its association with J.K. Rowling, author of the seven Harry Potter novels.

Great Success!

Sun- Manitoba foster group echoes Peguis chief’s concerns over child welfare oversight

Last week, Chief Bird called for the cancellation and restructuring of Peguis’ child and family services agreement, stating that the system created under the 2023 coordination deal has “no accountability and no transparency.”

The agreement, established under Bill C-92, was the first in Manitoba to transfer child welfare authority from the province and the federal government to a First Nation. The 2019 federal legislation was designed to affirm Indigenous jurisdiction over child and family services and promote culturally grounded, community-led care.

A Sober Look at the Education System

This is technically a comedy video about the American Education System, but I’m hoping some Canadian teachers will chime in about their experiences.

Two of the top-rated comments hit strong chords:

  • A good friend of mine from college quit teaching a few years ago. She had won awards. She told me that she averaged 35 kids per class, with 30 desks. The most textbooks she had for any of her 7 classes was 28. She would go to businesses (law firms were pretty good to help out) to beg for pens, legal pads, post-it notes for her kids. She was living like a broke college student, while being in her 50’s. The day she quit, she was walking out to the parking lot with the principal. He was so happy that his bonus for the year would pay off his new BMW X5, and my friend just stared at her 15 year old VW. Something like 70% of every dollar spent on Education goes to “administrative costs”. Not teacher salaries, not materials for students, not learning programs.
  • The worst part is that public school caters to the lowest common denominator. Kids that are actually way ahead of their classes are forced to sit there in boredom while everyone else catches up (k-12). Personally experienced it. I burned out at about sophomore year of high school and just did what i considered the minimum and still made all As K-12 without really trying. The issue is that since i wasn’t challenged i had a ton of issues in college since i didn’t know how to properly study for anything, and I know i’m not the only one who experienced that.

The Cheque Is In The Mail

Our family farm used to have mail delivery to the top of our lane but that was discontinued sometime in the early 1960s. After that, we picked up our mail in a small town. In 1970, that post office closed and we used a community mailbox which is still in service to this day. Miraculously, the sky didn’t fall.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers went on strike Thursday after the government announced door-to-door mail delivery would end for nearly all households within the next decade.

Canada Post said the strike will mean mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the strike and no new items will be accepted.

 

Higher Learning?

The Food Professor sat down to talk to some University of Montreal grad students the other day. The feedback he got confirms the suspicions of many that most universities have never altered their mission to graduate as many Marxists as possible.

Spoke with a group of graduate students and faculty today. The consensus in the room was clear: they believe food companies shouldn’t be allowed to make a profit, and meat consumption should be banned or at least heavily discouraged.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

To be fair, most of the non-AI references will be made up bullshit, too.

On Friday, CBC News reported that a major education reform document prepared for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador contains at least 15 fabricated citations that academics suspect were generated by an AI language model — despite the same report calling for “ethical” AI use in schools.

“A Vision for the Future: Transforming and Modernizing Education,” released August 28, serves as a 10-year roadmap for modernizing the province’s public schools and post-secondary institutions. The 418-page document took 18 months to complete and was unveiled by co-chairs Anne Burke and Karen Goodnough, both professors at Memorial University’s Faculty of Education, alongside Education Minister Bernard Davis. […]

When contacted by CBC, co-chair Karen Goodnough declined an interview request, writing in an email: “We are investigating and checking references, so I cannot respond to this at the moment.”
