National Post- Quebec man has two healthy fingers amputated to relieve ‘body integrity dysphoria’
“He is now living a life free from distressing preoccupations about his fingers, with all his symptoms related to BID resolved,” Nadeau wrote. “The amputation enabled him to live in alignment with his perceived identity.”
It’s about time that Zimbabwe switched off the broken record and admitted that decades of scientific socialism have only yielded abject failure, but Maximum Leader seems intent on forcing the citizens to bang their heads against the wall yet again.
On Friday, Mushayakarara is expected to announce the introduction of a gold-backed currency to replace the worthless local dollar, which is currently trading at around 30,000 to one U.S. dollar and, unlike the South African rand, does not circulate in neighboring countries.
Zimbabwe has introduced and abandoned at least five currencies since independence in 1980, all of which lost value to become almost worthless.
The member of parliament who on Feb. 5 introduced one of the most draconian laws against free speech (and that’s saying something in recent years) has decided not to run again in the next election. NDP MP Charlie Angus is calling it quits at the end of this term, after 20 years.
He’s the guy who wanted to ban promotion of fossil fuels, having introduced a private members bill which would have meant every ad on Pipeline Online, for instance, could incur up to a half million dollar fine.

If you regard those who bear discomfort with the Khufu/Khafre orthodoxy, as promoting the red herring notions that aliens built these two particular pyramids or one is racist against modern Arabs or Old Kingdom Egyptians, then perhaps you should stop reading this article here.
The emergence of another casualty of California’s decision to hike the minimum wage to $20 per hour comes as no surprise to anyone who understands basic economics: the real minimum wage is actually zero.
When making their way to work Monday morning, Navarro and her team learned upon arrival that the restaurant owner had made the decision to close its doors for good. The owner, Loren Wright, told local Fox affiliate KMPH that this was the “last thing” they wanted to do, but knew by Friday night the business likely wouldn’t be able to absorb the wage hike…
“And those who are still working in the areas around us that went up to $20 an hour, they got their hours severely cut.”
“DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes.”
Rufo: If they have lost the love of building airplanes, what is the love, if any, that they bring to the job?
Insider: Status games rule every boardroom in the country. The DEI narrative is a very real thing, and, at Boeing, DEI got tied to the status game. It is the thing you embrace if you want to get ahead. It became a means to power.
DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes. It is anti-excellence, because it is ill-defined, but it became part of the culture and was tied to compensation. Every HR email is: “Inclusion makes us better.” This kind of politicization of HR is a real problem in all companies.
If you look at the bumper stickers at the factories in Renton or Everett, it’s a lot of conservative people who like building things—and conservative people do not like politics at work.
The radicalization of HR doesn’t hurt tech businesses like it hurts manufacturing businesses. At Google, they’re making a large profit margin and pursuing very progressive hiring policies. Because they are paying 30 percent or 40 percent more than the competition in salary, they are able to get the top 5 percent of whatever racial group they want. They can afford, in a sense, to pay the “DEI tax” and still find top people.
But this can be catastrophic in lower-margin or legacy companies. You are playing musical chairs, and if you do the same things that Google is doing, you are going to end up with the bottom 20 percent of the preferred population.
Six years ago, they scratched dirt on TMX. Finally, FINALLY, it is nearing completion, and expected to enter service May 1.
The original pipeline was built over 65 years ago with equipment that largely didn’t even have hydraulics, and absolutely did not have computers, GPS, laser measurement or anything else like that. And they did it in 16 months.

Trust The Evidence- The NHS has lost its way, and patients are paying the price.
In 2023, Cancer waiting times were the worst on record in England. While NHS waiting lists in England rose to a record NHS 7.75m in 2023, the Times reports more than 11 million patients are in need of follow-up hospital care, as they are on “hidden” NHS waiting lists.
The Telegraph now reports that the NHS waiting list could be two million longer than thought, based on ONS survey data that estimates 9.7 million are waiting for an appointment. The number waiting more than a year could be nearly 1.35 million.
You thought that was hyperbole?
Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission heard Wednesday that Conservative MP Michael Chong, who was threatened by Chinese intelligence operators in Toronto, fears foreign agents could infiltrate closed party leadership races and effectively appoint Canadian prime ministers and premiers.
Chong’s testimony reflected concerns from CSIS intelligence documents exclusively reported by The Bureau, which found Chinese proxy agents have allegedly infiltrated leadership contests for provincial and national parties recently. […]
The inquiry also heard for the first time that Chinese agents or proxies could have targeted Chong with threats back in 2019.
But when Chong raised the concern of a “spoofed” email to Liberal Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, she neglected to respond.

Universities are supposed to be places of learning, of questioning, of understanding. Once upon a time, someone who went to a university was someone worthy of being looked up to to some degree, especially since most people didn’t have the opportunity to go.
Instead, we find them now to be little more than factories of indoctrination; places where wonderful students walk in and activists walk out.
Sure, many escape the brainwashing, but others don’t. What’s more, it’s not just in undergrad programs, either. It seems UCLA Medical School has fully embraced the stupid and seems intent on ramping it up based on a recent speaker they hosted.
… paid $1.7 million for CEO Tony Aquila’s private jet bills, twice its total revenue last year. According to its earnings report released this week, Canoo lost $302 million in 2023 – but it’s apparently been champagne and caviar for its top executive.
Canoo, which hasn’t turned a profit as a public company, brought in $886,000 last year in revenue, according to its full-year earnings report filed Monday. But, as TechCrunch first cited, Aquila’s hefty travel bill included “air travel expenses for either, at our option, first-class airfare or the business use of his private jet,” the company said in the filing.”
