Liberal MP for Cloverdale-Langley City is resigning his seat to run for the BC NDP in this year's election. Should be a relatively easy CPC pickup.

Leverkusen finish the Bundesliga season unbeaten, as they beat Augsburg 2-1. 2 more games to go for a full season unbeaten record.

Bizarre that the most obviously true part of his speech - “Being a mother and homemaker is important and rewarding, and you shouldn’t let your career get in the way of that if it’s what you really want” - is the most controversial. I’d think that the parts where he explicitly attacks political and church leaders would get more attention.

If he said parent then it wouldn’t have been as controversial. The role of a father is extremely important as well

Some lawyers saying the guy "Appeared to be in good spirits" and that "We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it" is not enough evidence on its own to be seriously suspicious of a murder. Especially when IIRC there are a lot of other people giving evidence that are not dead, and the guy was allegedly being harassed by boeing or people hired by them.

Oh, and Xiao Hua Gong, the guy who ran in the Toronto mayoral by-election by spamming the city with his election signs and his AI generated campaign speeches is also running.

Godspeed, Mr. Gong. Hopefully the deep state doesn't cheat him out of Mississauga the way they cheated him out of Toronto.

NZ - 95.37% native Anglo speakers
Aus - 72.0% native Anglo speakers
Can - 58.1% native Anglo speakers
USA - 78.0% native Anglo speakers

The answer is New Zealand by far, followed by USA and Australia roughly close together, and dead last being Canada. Makes sense, considering so much of Canada is Francophone and immigrant languages like Spanish and Chinese are widely spoken throughout America and Australia while being almost completely absent in NZ. The only real non-English linguistic influence on New Zealand is Maori, spoken by about 4% of the population.

The 95.37% statistic is not about native language and is from a question where people could choose multiple options (I believe it just asked about languages spoken overall) which means the total add up to more than 100, therefore the comparison is faulty. In fact I'm fairly certain NZ has a higher proportion of Chinese speakers than the USA.

And for that matter, there a lot of immigrant languages being spoken in the UK as well.

Netanyahu was right - Israel isn't a vassal state of the U.S., it's the inverse.

Indistinguishable from Stromfront here

A lot of white nationalists are pro Israel. It's a very convenient way to get all the Jews out of their country and into one tiny place.

I think maybe I did? I don't remember when I was introduced to the idea, but I'm pretty sure even though I've always thought of it as just a stereotype, my first reaction was probably "yeah, I can see people trying that."
