The UK’s rarest bird of prey has successfully bred in a secret location for a second consecutive year, with conservationists crediting one polyamorous male with bringing the species back from near extinction in the country.

On the surface, matching tariffs dollar for dollar looks tough: 3/4 of everything Canada exports goes to the US, and those goods account for about 1/5 of Canadian economy. The same trade is only worth about 1% of America’s. But Canada is a great middle power whose advantage lies in having flexible, polyamorous relations. China can pick up the slack and blunt the bite of those tariffs. It’s been going in that direction - the new Pacific pipeline, ginger steps on Chinese EVs, more canola exports etc. However, opportunistic volumes are not true diversification. With the weight of experience, Canada needs a supply-side shift that treats China as a long-term partner. Such structural change is hard and politically cumbersome. It still has to be done. Start by scrapping the EV restrictions which is largely protectionist of American interests. Build Chinese auto factories instead. Take in Chinese machinery and parts (which are the top US-Canada trade), expand Pacific routes, and buy Great Wall wine. Today is the chance to discuss a free-ish trade agreement. Quit the virtue signalling that always ends up in fruitless bickering. What actually matters is mutual prosperity.

The Belgian government first invented the problem of the ‘manosphere’, blaming @Cobratate and myself for young men (migrants, but they’ll never admit that) making our schools and streets unsafe. Now they’ve come up with the solution. The government will provide our youth with ‘better role models’. How? With an €800.000 taxpayer funded podcast with a fat-positive, polyamorous host and a pervert dressed like a caricature of a woman. The podcast has only reached 600 views, meaning it costs more than €1000 per viewer, but I personally wish it would have more viewers because the government doesn’t realise it’s precisely this sort of degeneracy that radicalises our native youth against them. Luckily, they’ll probably make it mandatory viewing in school soon, as part of the lessons they’re already teaching about Adolescence (a fictional Netflix series they don’t realise is fiction) or as part of the lessons about the dangers of listening to Dries Van Langenhove (yes, students actually have to take tests with questions like “why is Van Langenhove’s rhetoric dangerous and false?”).
