I WAS LEAKED a confidential Canadian Forces report that reveals a Quebec officer training platoon had 83% permanent residents. The program descended into ethnic infighting between West African factions, "lack of respect" for women and a 48% grad rate junonews.com/p/exclusive-ca…
This internal report authored by a Commandant at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School confirms everything all of us on here warned when the Liberal government decided to open up recruitment in the Canadian Armed Forces to permanent residents and lowered standards.
There's so much in there it's honestly hard to distill in one tweet. A total disaster in training etiquette, expectations and processes. Inability to communicate due to non-existent language skills, lack of respect for superiors, cultural incompatibility.
Today, the early voices initially critical of Canada's dollar-for-dollar retaliation, like Shopify’s CEO @tobi and Rumble’s CEO @chrispavlovski are vindicated: retaliatory tariffs were a harebrained idea from the start.
@junonewscom @tobi @chrispavlovski When Carney stood at a podium in February 2025 and declared that Canada would hit back “dollar-for-dollar” against U.S. tariffs, many Canadians applauded. But just a few months later, the smoke has cleared — and political posturing has given way to economic reality.
@junonewscom @tobi @chrispavlovski Oxford Economics revealed on May 15 that the actual economic impact of Canada’s so-called retaliatory tariffs is “nearly zero” thanks to sweeping carve-outs quietly introduced during the federal election campaign.
Global Affairs Canada @CanadaFP is USAID on steroids
Listen to this diplomat giddily talk about how her mission is to spread "intersectional transformative feminism" in Lebanon.
Short thread on how Canada's foreign aid is a woke slush fund below 👇
In 2022 I obtained documents showing how Canada's foreign service had become obsessed with race, microagressions, "ambient bigotry" and forcing mandatory anti-racism training onto staff.
More on Lebanon... Priorities at Global Affairs Canada included spending over $3M to reach two "gender fluid" people in the Middle Eastern country for a survey.
Trudeau's likely successor says politicians who backtrack on climate must be held accountable.

Mark Carney once tried to convince the world to adopt carbon taxes. Today, he’s all but abandoned a significant pillar of carbon pricing in his bid to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
The man who once penned that “backtracking on ambitious climate agendas is more difficult if politicians share the same goals and expect to be held accountable” is, rather incredibly, backtracking on carbon taxes himself.
