Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

Fire them all. Raze the buildings. Salt the earth.

CBC Kids News is teaching children about complaints that the red poppy focuses “too much on soldiers” and can be perceived as “glorifying war.”

Too much focus on soldiers. Around Remembrance Day. Let that sink in.

Then comes the colour guide…

Update: The CBC informed Juno News it has taken down a CBC Kids News video platforming various coloured poppies and their causes after a wave of backlash online.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

Well, Carney just dumped another wheel-barrel of cash on them, so good luck with that.

Expressing Their Values In A Heartwarming Way

On the John Lewis department store’s misjudged Christmas advert:

It does rather suggest a gulf between, on the one hand, progressively-inclined John Lewis management and progressively-inclined London ad executives who think that sneaking trans flags into Christmas adverts watched by children is terribly clever – and on the other hand, actual John Lewis customers and the general public.

We’ve been here before, of course. When customers were expected to find charming the thought of their homes being trashed by a selfish, vamping, cross-dressing child.

And then there was the attempt to endear customers by announcing, very proudly, that they employ middle-aged transvestites with whipping fetishes because doing so results in “a better connection to our customers.” Thanks to these “identities we share.”

I kid you not.

Coudes Vers Le Bas!*

If your nation’s alleged goal is to somehow “show those Americans who’s boss”, news like this probably won’t do much for your credibility. In any case, someone should let Blubber Dougie know before he opens his trap again.

Hydro-Québec has released a report suggesting it may need to import electricity from neighbouring provinces or the United States within the next three years.

The utility expects this demand could cause it to face energy deficits as early as 2029.

*Elbows Down!

Tales From The Swamp

Washington Examiner;

The explosive fallout dominating today’s news cycle over War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s firing of Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia — the Pentagon’s top military planner accused of leaking classified information related to the Iran war — proves that internal subversion remains an active threat to national security. According to reports breaking on Fox News, Sylvia was ousted after failing three polygraph examinations concerning unauthorized disclosures to reporters.

The timing of this rapidly unfolding development could not be more dangerous. With the critical midterm elections days away and President Donald Trump openly weighing whether to resume major military operations or broker a peace deal, the alleged leaking of classified strategic options directly undercuts the commander in chief at the exact moment he needs total operational cohesion.

This institutional resistance is a chronic affliction of the modern executive branch, long utilized by disgruntled bureaucrats to sabotage the agendas of duly elected presidents. […]

To safeguard national security, the administration must treat these leaks not as political gossip, but as structural subversion. Hegseth’s decisive action at the Pentagon to refer the matter to the Department of Justice is a necessary first step, but it must be backed by a systemic cultural shift. As noted in the official statement released by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell on X, leaking classified information for personal or professional gain is a fundamental betrayal of trust.

More: A three star general sitting in a diner in Arlington with notes he took from a classified report, reading them out loud to a reporter who was writing a book… think about that for a second.

There were signs.

Stranded Assets

Contrary to what these people may have believed, they didn’t actually buy a floating house. They bought a share in a boat which is now permanently docked because there’s no money for fuel. Now they’ll have to buy another house while the value of the current “house” goes to zero. That’ll be a fun retirement.

Its Florida-based operator, Villa Vie Residences, said monthly fuel expenses per cabin that historically averaged $1,800 have reached an estimated $6,000 to $8,000 in parts of Asia due to the war in Iran. The company said it sought to reduce fuel consumption by slowing the itinerary and spending more time in port, but was unable to offset the surging costs.

 

Because They’re Poor, You Say?

On crime, poverty, and the determination of many progressives to superimpose motivations entirely different from those that are actually in play:

At which point, readers may wish to revisit the carjackers mentioned above and their delight in seeing their victims soiling themselves in terror. Because, to quote a carjacker named Tall, “It’s a rush thing… I feel good.” Or as a female carjacker named PoPo put it, “It’s funny just to see them shaking and pissing all over theyself.”

The latter being a charming creature who assaults and terrorises random people, at gunpoint, robbing them of their cars and wedding rings, before getting her hair done.

Oh, there’s more.

Meritocracy or Incompetence: Which Do You Prefer?

I feel terrible for Katie Zacharia. From all accounts, she’s a super nice person. I wish her great success moving forward in a new endeavor.

But let’s not forget that Karine Jean-Pierre was a disaster from Day One, yet kept her job for 2 years and 8 months. So, what would you rather have, complete incompetence for that massive amount of time or job tenure based on job performance?
