Several civil society organizations, including women’s advocates, are calling on the Liberal government to swiftly flesh out firearm legislation passed last year by enacting crucial regulations and directives.
In December, Parliament approved a government bill that includes new measures to keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers.
It also cements restrictions on handguns, increases penalties for firearm trafficking and aims to curb homemade ghost guns.
A Russian missile attack in central Ukraine has killed 51 people and injured more than 200, Ukrainian officials have said.
President Zelensky said that Russian forces struck “an educational institution and a neighbouring hospital” with two ballistic missiles in the city of Poltava. The educational facility in question is understood to be the Poltava Military Institute of Communications.
Video from the scene showed destroyed buildings and the wounded being treated on the street. The death toll is expected to rise.

Cars driving on sidewalks, mirrors demolished with karate kicks, fully grown adults rolling around a freeway like wrestlers.
These are just a few examples, caught on camera, of how some Toronto drivers choose to respond to the city’s notoriously bad congestion, which has been called a crisis and some of the worst in North America.
Anyone who has been behind the wheel of a car in Toronto knows it can be frustrating, but its impact on road rage is up for debate.
A report from Sweden’s Crime Prevention Council (BRÅ), commissioned by the government to study the increase in gun violence, completely fails to consider mass migration or the ethnicity or culture of shooters in its analysis.
Henrik Angerbrandt, one of the authors behind the study, told news outlet Samnytt that the study did not include the background of perpetrators as it was not considered interesting for the report: “We have not looked at the individual level. We have not looked at foreign backgrounds, and we have generally not examined socioeconomic factors.”
Gunshots were fired into the home of Victoria-based singer, music producer and rising Punjabi music star AP Dhillon early Monday morning.

LONDON (AP) — A teacher in Ireland who says he was fired for his views on gender has been jailed for a third time for refusing to stay away from the school where he used to work.
Enoch Burke was found in contempt by a High Court judge on Monday for violating a court injunction barring him from Wilson’s Hospital School in Mullingar, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Dublin.
He was suspended by the school in 2022 after publicly objecting to what he called “transgender ideology” and refusing to address a trans student by their preferred name and pronoun. He was later fired, and has launched an appeal.

The Grand Seduction. That’s how some media outlets referred to Pierre Poilievre’s many visits to Quebec this summer. It’s perhaps a reference to the 2013 movie of the same name based on the 2003 French version, “La Grande Séduction.”
The film centres around the struggling fishing village of Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne in Quebec, where all residents are on welfare and engage in charming antics to secure economic revival. This metaphor fittingly encapsulates Poilievre’s campaign trail across the province.
Israel is braced to receive a non-negotiable Gaza hostage deal on the table from mediating countries Qatar, Egypt and the United States.
“I think that what will happen in the end” is that “there will be a kind of take it or leave” deal which US President Joe Biden would put forward “together with the Egyptians and the Qataris,” Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday morning.
“Then we will have to take a decision” because “it won’t be negotiable again,” he said.
As an archeologist, it’s impossible to ignore evidence of harm at Indian Residential Schools
I am an archeologist. It’s a field that I was initially drawn to because it felt comfortably distant from the things that got people upset. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
In recent years, we archeologists have found ourselves drawn into deeply acrimonious debates about Canada’s history with Indigenous Peoples. It makes sense. Our profession puts us into a physical encounter with the past. We collect evidence.
Recent articles in some corners of the media landscape have made much of the fact that the number of suspected graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia has been revised downward. Indeed, some columnists have gone so far as to suggest this proves the Indian Residential School system was not genocidal and that Canada has been libeled.

Female darts players have been threatened with disciplinary action if they refuse to play transgender opponents.
Almost four months after a British woman forfeited a match against a trans woman at the Denmark Open, the World Darts Federation has begun a controversial crackdown on such protests.
In the days following the discovery of Barry and Honey Sherman’s bodies, Toronto police vigorously pursued a murder-suicide theory, despite forensic evidence to the contrary. The theory was only abandoned six weeks later following the Star’s publication of the results of a second set of autopsies revealing it was a double murder.
Why did homicide detectives stick to the murder-suicide theory for so long? That’s a question the Star has been trying to answer since the high-profile case began nearly seven years ago. From day one, police were scouring the Sherman home and their electronic devices, looking for a suicide note, while at the same time asking family and friends why Barry would have done such a thing, according to police documents.
Four people fatally shot on a commuter train in the Chicago area early Monday appeared to be attacked while asleep in their seats, police said.
The victims — whose names, ages, and genders have not been confirmed — appeared to be asleep and were seated apart from each other according to security footage, the Forest Park Police Department said.
“Random attack” say police.
