Garry Clement- I Once Believed Canadians Would Demand Better. Fifty Years On, I’m Not So Sure
For most of my career, I believed that if Canadians truly understood the scale of criminal infiltration, foreign interference, and systemic mismanagement within our national institutions, they would demand better.

Catholic Weekly- A thousand forced marriages and conversions every year in Pakistan
“Young girls, often minors, are abducted and coerced into converting to Islam, followed by forced marriages with much older men. This practice is especially prevalent in Sindh and southern Punjab where religious minorities are concentrated.
“Once abducted, the girls are subjected to pressure, threats, and sometimes violence, forcing them to renounce their faith.

The Food Professor- Fewer Kids, More Pets — and a Food System That Isn’t Ready
Today, roughly six in ten Canadian households live with at least one cat or dog. There are more than 16 million cats and dogs in the country. And a growing share of those animals are not owned by young families with rising incomes, but by seniors, people living alone, and households that explicitly view pets as family members and primary sources of companionship.
It Snows In Canada?
To be fair they’ve only been around since 1920.
National Post- RCMP battle deep snow responding to multiple assaults at remote cabin in early hours of New Year’s Day
…had to seek assistance from volunteers with Bonavista Bay Search and Rescue to get through the heavy snowfall.
The Biology Of Ozempic
Video — Miracles don’t exist in biology, mechanisms do. GLP1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) are no exception. And every time you override a biological system that took two million years to evolve, you are making a trade. Every trade has an invoice.

The Deal With Silver
Silver is not like Gold. Gold once it is mined and refined sits in vaults or jewelry. All gold ever mined still exists.
Silver is consumed by industry. It is turned into a conductive silver paste that is applied to products. It is very difficult to recycle because such a tiny amount of silver is used in each. So it is not worthwhile to recycle. Only about 20% of silver is recycled from e-waste.
The $4.4 trillion “market cap” for silver is assuming that all 56 billion oz of silver that has been mined throughout history … is still around and available. It is NOT. Probably 80% of the silver has been consumed by industry. It is buried in landfills.

BC MLA Dallas Brodie is one brave woman for putting together a critical examination of the residential school issue. My opinion: we’re in the grip of another mass formation that has been building since the early 1990s. It’s time to put a stop to this before we experience the Zimbabwe solution in real time.

We Need A Famine
The people who want to ban Round-Up are the people who want us to eat fake meat.

America First?
Weren’t the cost of tariffs being absorbed by importers? Apparently, that’s not always the case.
President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was scrapping U.S. tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruits and a broad swath of other commodities — a dramatic move that comes amid mounting pressure on his administration to better combat high consumer prices.

David Clinton- Bill C-4: Join a Political Party in Canada and Mess Up Your Life?
All of which means that, for the low, low price of a single party membership card, you’ve bought yourself vulnerability to the threat of identity theft, harassment, and exposure of your sensitive (and likely controversial) political views. Employers, landlords, insurers, neighbors, old enemies, new enemies, future enemies? They’d be crazy not to drink deep from this Pierian spring.
