Parents weigh in on giving consent for children changing names or pronouns at school

A legal challenge to Saskatchewan’s new law requiring parental consent if children under 16 want to change their names or pronouns at school is back in court this week. New Brunswick enacted a similar measure last year, and other provinces are looking at doing the same.

Lawyers representing UR Pride, an LGBT group in Regina, say the rule discriminates against youth who aren’t able to come out to their families. The Saskatchewan and New Brunswick governments have said they made the changes after hearing from many parents that they want them.

Our Incompetent Elite Is Opening Up America to Attack

My first Townhall Column of the year was my top 2024 predictions, but one prediction did not fit with its snarky vibe. Let me make it now. In 2024, we’re going to see a massive terrorist attack here in the United States. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – I’m worried that we’re facing a terrorist threat unlike anything we’ve ever seen and that a lot of Americans are going to die. It does not have to happen, but because the people running this country are so corrupt, malicious, and incompetent, it will.

Michael Taube: Police inaction is allowing hate to fester

Hamas’s violent Oct. 7 attack against Israel has led to pro-Palestinian demonstrations of varying sizes around the world and a significant increase in antisemitism in Canadian cities, on a scale not witnessed since the end of the Second World War.

Toronto has experienced several pro-Palestinian demonstrations in front of the clothing chain Zara at the Eaton Centre shopping mall. It led to a tense verbal jousting last month between a masked demonstrator and passers-by, with the protester yelling, “I’ll lay you out on the floor” and threatening to put an unidentified individual “six feet deep.”

Iranian woman whipped 74 times for refusing to wear hijab

An Iranian woman received 74 lashes for refusing to wear the hijab, defying the strict dress code even as she was taken to be whipped.

Roya Heshmati, 33, was charged with “encouraging permissiveness” after appearing unveiled on several occasions in the capital, Tehran.

“Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with sharia,” and “for violating public morals,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said late on Saturday.

Justin Trudeau seems to have forgotten it’s his job to hold the country together

Of course Premier Danielle Smith’s proposal to separate Alberta from the Canada Pension Plan should be abandoned. Such a move would be bad for the CPP, bad for Alberta pensioners and bad for the country.

Of course Premier Scott Moe’s decision to stop collecting the carbon tax on home heating in Saskatchewan should be abandoned. The tax must and will be remitted to Ottawa one way or another.

The faces of the girls still being held by Hamas

Karina Ariev, Lil Albag, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa

Watching the terrified faces of the four bloodstained teenage girls being paraded by Hamas gunmen was beyond their parents’ worst nightmare.

The haunting images were taken just hours after they were kidnapped and Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniela Gilboa and Agam Berger appeared shadows of their former selves.

Three months have passed since that recording of them lined up against a wall in Gaza, their hands bound behind them – and still they are in captivity.

John Ivison: Trudeau won’t shake off this latest vacation fail as easily as the others

The British public accepted the Royal Family’s six-week-long summer sojourns as long as they were taken at a gloomy, cold castle in the rainy Scottish Highlands.

Similarly, the Canadian public is amenable to their prime ministers taking vacation time, as long as they don’t look like they are having fun.

Liberal graft.

‘Substantial’ property tax increase coming to Toronto, city’s budget chief warns

Toronto’s budget chief is warning that a “substantial” property tax increase will be part of the city’s new spending package, as council grapples with a long-brewing fiscal crisis.

Coun. Shelley Carroll, who was appointed budget chief by Mayor Olivia Chow last year, had a blunt message when asked if property taxes are headed up: Yes.

And not by a small amount, she said, because Toronto needs to face its structural deficit head-on.

Boobytraps and explosions in the hunt for Hamas tunnels

The underground explosion, just before noon, could barely be heard, muffled by tons of earth covering the suspected Hamas tunnel.

On the surface in Gaza City the detonation of thousands of kilograms of explosives felt like a small earthquake. Even the heavy tanks securing the Israeli operational perimeter bounced from the shock. The effect on the buildings remaining nearby, however, was barely discernible.
