British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on the brink of resigning — Sun

David Cameron is the latest British Prime Minister to remain in power for the entire Parliament he was elected to lead. (2010-2015) Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister of the UK after less than 2 years.

I love my Roman Catholic brothers and sisters but every time I visit the Oratory of St. Joseph in Montreal I am reminder that the Reformation was justified, and if it had not already happened, launching it again right now would still be justified.

I guess my final thought (lol) on the Talarico religion stuff: Before it, I thought his religious background was a genuine positive. A run-of-the-mill presbyterian seminarian would appeal to a lot of non-evangelical or soft-evangelical voters. Today? 1/

‘JURY DUTY’ has been renewed for Season 3 at Prime Video.

Princess Margriet was born here in Ottawa during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. After the war, her mother, Princess Juliana, gifted 100,000 tulip bulbs to Canada in gratitude for the leading role Canadian soldiers played in liberating the people of the Netherlands, and for providing refuge to the Dutch Royal Family. Every year, the Canadian Tulip Festival serves as a symbol of the lasting friendship between our two nations. It was an honour to meet Princess Margriet in Ottawa today.

Many men right now prematurely assume that if a woman is in her late 20s/early 30s and has a career, that means she doesn't want to settle down. I have had this fear too (sometimes discouraging me from taking an interest in someone), which is why lately I've made a point of asking Catholic women I know IRL if they would want to settle down and raise their own kids. Actually talking to them has made it clear that they and many women they know really want to be wives and mothers, but they aren't even being asked out by men! (I'm talking about pleasant, friendly women of above-average looks.) Tonight I talked to a close friend (early 30s) who is an extremely impressive and accomplished person (in a profession men find very attractive), but told me she would like nothing better than to quit what she's doing and have a family. She said what she really wants is to be “TAKEN CARE OF”. She said that her experience and that of younger women she knows is that men are simply not asking them out. There is a lot of messaging in the culture about how women don't or shouldn't want marriage and children, but it is unjust to assume that a woman (especially a Catholic woman) is single because she has bought into that message, or that her having a professional life means she wouldn't prefer to prioritize family. As my friend strongly emphasized, women have to *wait* for a man to ask them. While they are waiting, they have to pay the bills and occupy themselves with something worthwhile. What else are they supposed to do? It's crazy to blame them all for it. We have to cultivate solidarity between the sexes and keep lines of communication open. There are enough real problems between us without making faulty assumptions about what the other sex really wants, and without blaming all of the women who are in the same boat men are in (single). Remember, part of ideological propaganda is not just getting people to think a certain way, but also convincing them that more people think that way than actually do. That creates the sense of even greater division than actually exists, which is what the world and the devil want. I will always oppose feminism, but going forward, I'm not going to assume that just because a young woman I meet is, e.g., a lawyer, doesn't mean she wouldn't actually prefer to prioritize motherhood instead. Have conversations about these fraught topics with members of the opposite sex you know in real life, at church, etc. Even if it doesn't lead to you dating that person, it can at least clear the air and lead to greater mutual understanding and compassion. You may find that there is more common ground than you thought and some of your fears and apprehensions about the opposite sex may be alleviated. I find it very refreshing and consoling to converse openly about this stuff with women IRL.
