 @CamelJoe_174Conservatismfrom Saskatchewan  commented…16hrs16H

Replacing Trudeau with another Liberal is like swapping deck chairs on the Titanic. Canada needs real leadership, not another puppet of the WEF!

Chretien gives Trump a history lesson

 @CuriousPoliticConservatismfrom Ontario  commented…14hrs14H

Funny how Chretien suddenly becomes a hero when he criticizes Trump, but no one mentions the scandals and corruption during his time as PM. Selective memory at its finest!

 @RepublicKennedyLiberal Democracy from New Jersey  commented…14hrs14H

Chretien showing once again why real leadership matters. History, diplomacy, and backbone—qualities Trump never had and never will.

Defense Bill Blocks Transgender Care To Minors

The Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to a defense policy bill directing $895 billion toward the Pentagon and other military activities, moving over the objections of some Democrats who opposed a provision added late in the negotiations that would deny coverage for transgender health procedures for minors.The 85-to-14 vote, coming a week after a divided House passed the same measure, cleared the bill for President Biden’s signature.Most Republicans and many Democrats supported the measure, which provides a 14.5 percent pay raise to junior enlisted service members and a 4.5 percent pay raise for all other service members. It also expands access to meal assistance, housing and child care programs that benefit those in uniform.But several Democrats withheld their backing in protest of a provision preventing TRICARE, the military’s health care plan for service members, from covering “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization” for children under 18.The language, which would affect the gender-transitioning children of service members, was recently added to the measure at the insistence of Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, who refused to bring a defense bill to the House floor without it, according to aides familiar with the negotiations.Twenty-one Democrats, led by Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, proposed an amendment to strip the provision from the bill, but the matter was never brought to a vote. Several of them took to the floor on Tuesday to lodge their objections.“It’s flat-out wrong to put this provision in this bill and take away a service member’s freedom to make that decision for their families,” Ms. Baldwin said, estimating that the provision could negatively affect as many as 6,000 to 7,000 military families.
