The European project has done a magnificent job of uniting the continent but has been an economic failure: between 2008 and 2024, EU GDP per capita (in current dollars) grew by 16.5 per cent, compared to 74 per cent in the U.S. This is no model for Canada to emulate.

Avery disturbing TikTok video has gone viral after a pregnant woman recorded herself playing ABBA songs to make her unborn son gay — while thousands of mothers cheered her on in the comments and across social media.

The video shows her blasting the lyrics "Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight" next to her stomach.

Between January 2023 and May 2025, Fortune 100 companies reduced their use of the term "DEI" by 98%, according to an analysis by Gravity Research.

Within weeks of President Trump's executive order targeting federal DEI initiatives, major corporations including McDonald's, Walmart, and Target announced they were ending DEI programs.

DEI is far from dead. According to "inclusion consultant" Lily Zheng, its disguise is now called FAIR: Fairness, Access, Inclusion, and Representation. "It's not just a communications rebrand," Zheng recently told Time magazine. "It's not just that we're avoiding the letters DEI and trying to replace it with FAIR. It's that the work itself is evolving."

Instead of counting the number of women or people of color in leadership positions, FAIR focuses on changing institutional systems. Instead of heritage celebrations, FAIR embeds what it calls "inclusion" into hiring algorithms, promotion processes, and organizational structures.

The goal is no longer to showcase diversity initiatives. The goal is to make those initiatives invisible and permanent.

Progressives adapted after losing Virginia elections in 2021. Teachers' unions suffered a historic defeat. Rather than retreat, Data for Progress and similar groups spent millions analyzing voter habits and anxieties, then redesigned their campaign around different messaging. By 2023, Democrats won nearly every close Virginia race.

Progressives don't abandon goals when challenged. They simply adapt their methods. Similarly, when conservatives successfully challenged outrageously unconstitutional explicit DEI programs, the machinery wasn't dismantled. It burrowed deeper into institutional foundations, where it became harder to identify and harder to remove.

I pray the former New York City mayor's condition improves.

Former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized Sunday in stable but critical condition, his spokesperson said, days after the former lawyer to U.S. President Donald Trump told his talk show audience that his voice was "a little under the weather."

His representative, Ted Goodman, did not say why Giuliani, 81, was in the hospital, how long he had been there or what his prognosis is.

He said Giuliani "remains in critical but stable condition."
