A Catchable Madness
This not a field of medicine guided by evidence. This is a field of medicine guided by politics.
Shoe-Sizing Trauma
You see, she’s upset that her feet aren’t being affirmed as “non-binary.”
You Will Be Richer By Being Poorer
A Synonym For Spite
On schoolgirls being compelled to undress in front of cross-dressing boys, and wokeness as a mask for other motives:
“You wicked girls will undress in front of this weird, cross-dressing boy, and you will do it over and over again.”
I paraphrase, of course. Though not, I think, wildly.
Readers are invited to ponder the psychology in play at this terribly progressive school. The triumphal righteousness of compelling thirteen-year-old schoolgirls to undress in front of a mentally ill male or opportunist pervert. A mentally ill male or opportunist pervert that the schoolgirls do not trust. Resulting in the girls feeling frightened and upset.
Imagine that tingle of power. All wrapped in a drag of modish piety.
Oh, there’s more.
We’re Putting The Band Back Together
Dan Knight- Fired in Disgrace, Rehired to Run the Carney Show, Marco Mendicino’s Swampy Comeback
Because nothing says “fresh leadership” quite like recycling the same corrupt, incompetent hacks that got us here in the first place.
Failing Upwards
“Democracy”
Oversharing
Readers will doubtless have noted the remarks on turgidity and percentages, and may have calculated that ten percent of twenty-four hours is two hours and twenty-four minutes, which, regarding the phenomenon in question, is not an insignificant amount of time. Readers may also wonder by what motherly means this knowledge of arousal was arrived at.
The Wellbeing Of Burglars
Or, how dare you defend your home and loved ones from sociopathic intruders with long criminal histories:
It seems to me that the decision to forcibly violate someone’s home, generally at a time when the homeowner is at their most vulnerable, intent on predation and likely worse, and doing so for the umpteenth time, is precisely how you know that the intruder’s wellbeing is of very low importance. To assume that a home invader is anything less than an existential threat is, as seen in the links below, foolish in the extreme – and morally perverse.
It may be unkind – but it would not, I think, be unfair – to wish upon Mr Zbur and his fellow progressives some first-hand experience of the home-invasion scenarios that they would happily see others endure, passively and impotently, and sometimes not survive, supposedly in the name of “progress.” And fairness to burglars.
For Buoyancy, Perhaps
On changing rooms, inclusiveness, and fake rubber boobs:
You see, when you’re about to get undressed in a women’s changing room and you realise you’re being watched by a balding pervert in an overtly sexual micro-thong, and with fake rubber knockers attached to his person, this is just part and parcel of being sensitive and inclusive. Apparently, we must learn to embrace modernity and its many sophistications. Especially the ladies.
The words alleyway and beating come to mind.
Her Fascinating Complications
“Does it feel dysphoric because it’s long, or does it feel better because it’s long?”
“A little bit of both. It kind of changes every day.”
Welcome to the world of hair dysphoria.
Sure You Will…
Are you willing to pay $5 more for every purchase, $5 more every month, or $5 more every year? As is typical with such surveys, to probe for those critical details would disturb the narrative of pseudo-patriotism. No matter which option you pick, your credit card statement will inevitably say otherwise. Consumers eking out a living in a stagnant economy don’t have the luxury of making such choices.
But the survey found even though some items may cost more, most Canadians are willing to spend more money to keep that buy Canadian with 53 per cent willing to pay $5 more to buy a local product.
Another 33 per cent said they were willing to spend $10 extra.
His Hypothetical Partner
From that organ of Our Betters – the New York Times Magazine – a question of throbbing import.
In A Time Of Crisis A Great Leader Will Emerge
May Contain Drama
Or, Shakespeare For The Tremulous And Neurotic:
Readers will doubtless recall the Chichester Festival Theatre warning patrons that its production of The Sound of Music, one of the most famous and widely-seen musicals in the world, would contain references to Nazis. Which, for some, would apparently come as a surprise. More recently, the Royal Shakespeare Company felt it necessary to forewarn visitors that its production of Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairy tale The Red Shoes features both loud music and “haze.” Because in a tale of mind-controlling shoes and amputated feet, the haze is the thing you really want to watch out for.
Also, Shakespeare’s Tempest includes bad weather. And no, I’m not joking.

Rupa Subramanya- ‘I Don’t Think My Business Can Survive These Tariffs’
Small businesses are especially at risk. In 2022, 81.8 percent of Canadian small business exports went to the United States. These companies are so dependent on cross-border trade that Trump’s 25 percent tariff, coupled with Canada’s retaliatory tariffs, will likely affect 82 percent of them, according to a survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Just Two Weeks To Flatten The Tariffs
Sun- Trudeau announces 25 per cent targeted retaliatory tariffs on American goods
Trudeau held a news conference Saturday evening to announce that Canada will respond with an immediate $30-billion retaliation package, which will be followed by $125 billion in duties on American products in 21 days to give companies and supply chains time to find alternatives.
Canada’s retaliation plan will include everyday items such as American beer, wine, bourbon, fruits and fruit juices, including orange juice, along with vegetables, perfume, clothing and shoes, Trudeau said.
