The F-35 fighter debate in Canada keeps focusing on cost and industrial offsets. That misses the real issue. Modern air power is about data architecture, not just airframes.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

@thef35 @ColbyBadhwar @LockheedMartin Great news

A major step forward for Canada’s F-35 future. 🇨🇦 @LockheedMartin and MAS, an L3Harris company, will collaborate to support future requirements for an F-35 Air Vehicle Depot in Canada — bringing 5th Gen expertise, high-skilled jobs and increased economic benefits.

This Wayne’s World remake looks terrible

Another day, another mind blowing example of how Canada’s criminal justice system is a shambles. This guy tried to kill several Canadian soldiers, clearly motivated by religious extremism. He is still assessed as posing “a significant threat to the safety of the public.” But the Ontario Review Board (ORB) has him living in the community, with his schizophrenic mother. And now they have given him a three week pass to travel to Saudi Arabia and Somalia. What could possibly go wrong? As a rule, quasi-judicial tribunals like the ORB are supposed to operate independently of the elected government. But there’s a reason why ORB officials are appointed by the elected provincial Cabinet: to ensure ultimate democratic accountability. In Canada, it’s what we call responsible government. IMO, this ORB decision so egregiously violates the public interest, an example should be made. Every member of the panel responsible for this decision should be fired and replaced by people who understand that their primary duty is to protect public safety. And the Ontario PC government, which has appointed ORB members for nearly a decade, should do a serious review of how these members got appointed in the first place. nationalpost.com/news/canada/ay…

In 1998, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped at knifepoint in Alicante, Spain. The rapist, 63-year old Antonio Cosme, was sentenced to 9 years in jail. 7 years later, in 2005, the victim's mother, María del Carmen García, was waiting at a bus stop when she saw a man approaching. "How's your daughter doing?" the man asked with a smirk on his face. It was her daughter's rapist. Antonio was out on day release. Enraged by what had just happened, Maria ran to the nearest store, purchased 1.5 litres of gasoline, and walked into the bar that Antonio had just entered. She doused him head-to-toe with gasoline, lit him up, and stood back and calmly watched as her daughter's rapist burned alive in front of her eyes. Maria was sentenced to 9.5 years in jail for her act of revenge, but was released in 2018 after serving 5.5 years. Today, she lives freely in Spain after being reunited with her daughter.

1% of the male population of Newfoundland was killed in the Great War. Memorial University was given its name to be a living, permanent memorial to their sacrifice. None of those men, or those who served with them, would now be eligible to teach at the university named in honour of their sacrifice. DEI has gone too far for too long. (BTW, I wonder if the same discriminatory hiring practices apply to janitorial, food services, and facility maintenance jobs. Or does the unjust treatment only apply to "elite" tenure track positions?)

@howardanglin wtf

What are we doing, Canada? nationalpost.com/news/canada/ay…

@ITS_Me_Mr_Mikey @yegwave Stfu you soyboy wanna be tyrant.

“A very real threat” if he doesn’t obey the Chiefs says David Eby. What about the very real threat of 90% of B.C. land base being considered “unceded” by First Nations with overlapping title claims? Buddy, we're already in the worst-case scenario

@AlertaMundoNews Oh well!

@CanadianForces great news, keep going

Today, we announced that we surpassed our Regular Force recruiting objective for fiscal year 2025-26. We enrolled 7,310 new members, marking the highest number of enrolments in more than 30 years. canada.ca/en/department-…

Dear Leftists, You call everyone else Nazis. You lost your minds when Elon put his hand in the air. Well, here’s 2 and a half minutes of pro-Palestine activists screaming Heil Hitler, doing Nazi salutes, and promising to “gas the Jews.” Listen and learn. These are REAL Nazis.

t.co/EhHO8nenax Brilliant TV moment: Muslim guests on Piers Morgan's show go crazy and start shouting to stop Douglas Murray from destroying the false narrative about the war in the Middle East. Here are the facts: 1. Hamas is an Islamic terrorist organization. Hamas is also the Ministry of Health in Gaza. 2. A terrorist organization is not a reliable source of information. 3. The same Hamas terrorists who initiated the ongoing war on October 7th, 2023, provide the media and the UN with fake data and disinformation about the war in Gaza. 4. Israel has no interest in harming innocent civilians. On the other hand, all Hamas does is target innocent civilians in Israel while using the civilians of Gaza as human shields. 5. Hamas can end the ongoing war in Gaza by releasing all the Israeli hostages and laying down their weapons!

Of course they did

Growing our economy by diversifying our trading partners is good. Ignoring the importance of the largest economy in the world that also happens to be our neighbour and largest trading partner is not good. You don’t need an advanced economics degree to understand this.

Here’s Mark Carney’s illusion: he wants to keep Canadians in a state of fear and panic to distract from all of his costly failures at home. The Carney Liberals have given us the worst food inflation, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the only shrinking economy in the G7. He has not repealed a single anti-development law, approved a single pipeline, and housing construction is actually falling. To top it all off, he’s doubled the deficit Justin Trudeau left behind. These are all Liberal-made problems that Carney made worse. And as for the U.S., Mark Carney’s talk of a rupture with the customer that buys two-thirds of our goods is not a plan. He has not negotiated a single new Free Trade Agreement with any country on earth. The meetings, photo ops, and non-binding memoranda are all an illusion. Mark Carney’s agenda is about enriching a small group of well-connected Liberal elites like him, who get corporate handouts of tax dollars and use tax havens to avoid paying the same bills they are charging you. If we want to be affordable at home, safe at home, and strong at home we must make real change at home. That’s why Conservatives are fighting for an end to wasteful Liberal spending. Let us cut corporate welfare, consultants, foreign aid, and handouts to fake refugees. Unblock our resources. Unleash our entrepreneurs. Approve pipelines and major projects today. Incentivize municipalities to build homes. Cut the gas taxes on farmers, truckers, and steelmakers. Stop the money-printing and inflationary deficits that drive up the cost of everything. That’s the only way we will be strong at home and unbreakable abroad.

Ok, approve a pipeline to the west or east coast without ties to carbon capture. This is the surest and most obvious way to diversify away from the US. Talk is cheap.

@Pogue @ChristinaFaucet Sustenance

@ChristinaFaucet What would you, as the finance person, EXPECT people to put in "Justification?" I can't think of any other besides, "I was hungry!"

My employer has a new, astronomically awful expense-reporting system. Opaque, inefficient, and mind-bogglingly duplicative. Am I being too much of a smartass?

@AlexPereir73706 @Tim_Denning Automate.

You give him too much credit. Nothing of intellectual substance in his 20+ books (I read 3), just recycling ideas from different sources that make it seem like he's bound to no specific ideology which can be easily identified from his lack of nuance in socioeconomic topics. The man disproves the existence of systemic advantages that favor a specific ethnicity, with all the documented evidence available and yet people still call him an intellectual lol. Thomas Sowell is an educated man, but he is not an intelligent man.

Thomas Sowell gets it: He's 94 years old and has never held political office, never had a viral moment, never begged for your attention. He just wrote 30 books, spent 50 years dismantling bad ideas with data, and let the work speak. No green room. No cable news contract. No ideology to sell you. While academics were chasing grants and politicians were chasing polls, Sowell was in the library proving them all wrong. The most dangerous intellectual in America isn't the loudest one. It's the one who doesn't need you to agree with him.
