Pflag warns it could designate Catholic school board ‘Unsafe for the LGBTQ2IA+ Community of York Region’
York Regional Police were once again called to a York Catholic District School Board meeting as part of an ongoing dispute involving members of the LGBTQ2IA+ community and its allies, who are pushing the board to raise the Pride flag.
Police received a call about a “disturbance” on the evening of April 25 at the board’s Aurora headquarters, Duty Insp. Marc Hilliker said.
“We were called to a disturbance there and by the time we got there, most had left,” he said.
I suspect that the real issue concerns efforts to influence the board by supporters of the perverted adult fetish that finds cruel delight in the sexual mutilation of mentally ill children but the Star has left that out.
Norwich, Ont., votes to exclude Pride flags on township property
The township of Norwich, Ont., has voted to exclude Pride flags from being flown on its property. Instead, the municipality has moved to only fly flags representing municipal, provincial and federal governments.
The bylaw was proposed by Coun. John Scholten at a Tuesday night council meeting. Scholten says he believes civic flags best represent all groups of people, and allow everyone to coexist in harmony, regardless of their identity or beliefs.
Graphika, Inc., a small but influential social media monitoring and censorship firm that has received nearly $7 million in grants and contracts from the US Department of Defense (DOD), began tracking online “conspiracy theories” about Covid-19 on December 16, 2019 – just four days after the first patients reported symptoms in Wuhan, China, and two weeks before the World Health Organization (WHO) was even informed about the virus outbreak.
OTTAWA—The Liberals are dropping a plan to added hundreds of firearms to a list of banned weapons in Canada as part of their broader promise to tighten gun laws in Canada.
But they will try again to legislate a definition of what would constitute an illegal weapon in a move that is sure to reignite controversy around one of the most politically sensitive files on the government’s agenda.
The definition is expected to be part of a new package of amendments that could land within days as the legislative clock on the federal government’s latest effort to tighten gun laws — Bill C-21 — is running out.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and China’s Xi Jinping spoke by phone Wednesday — their first conversation since Russia invaded Ukraine 14 months ago and a signal that Beijing may be angling to play a mediating role.
China will send a special representative to Ukraine and other countries to hold talks with all parties on resolving the “crisis,” Xi told Zelensky, according to a Chinese readout of the call.
“Amid the current rise of reasonable thinking and voices from all sides, we should seize the opportunity to build up favorable conditions for a political settlement of the crisis,” Xi told Zelensky, according to the Chinese summary.
The Ontario government said Tuesday it is introducing a number of new measures to boost lagging police recruitment numbers, including eliminating a post-secondary education requirement to be hired as an officer and covering the costs of mandatory training.
“We need more police officers on our streets, more boots on the ground,” Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference at the Ontario Police College. He was joined by Solicitor General Michael Kerzner and Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw.
Ford said he has heard from the chiefs of various police services, who said they are seeing increases in major crimes like auto thefts, break and enters and random acts of violence, but are struggling to attract new recruits.
They call me God, boasted Kenneth Law as he told how ‘many, many, many’ of his customers had died
A Canadian chef has been supplying suicidal young people in Britain with a lethal poison to enable them to kill themselves, a Times investigation has found.
Kenneth Law has been sending the substance to vulnerable people around the world from a post office near Toronto for two years.
Up to seven deaths, including four in the UK, are linked to the poison, which we are not naming, that he sold on a website disguised to fool the authorities about its true purpose.
In case you haven’t heard, the Trudeau government is heaving tax credits and other supports toward every “clean energy” project on the horizon, including clean electricity, hydrogen, vehicles, manufacturing, battery production, grid “modernization” and the list goes on.
The whole Green scam is an LPC slush fund.
I got to say, "it's like family but with more cheese" has got to be the most brilliant advertising slogans I've ever heard.
So, win for the AI! https://t.co/oq8DKPnZ2x

The Duke of Sussex appears to have scuppered any hope of a reconciliation with his brother at the Coronation after claiming in court documents that the Prince of Wales received a secret payment from Rupert Murdoch’s company over phone hacking.
Prince William received a “huge sum” as part of a private settlement for being a victim of hacking, Prince Harry alleged in High Court papers made public on Tuesday as part of his case against the owners of the News of the World and The Sun.
Coercion is not choice.
It is unfortunate we have to continue to have this discussion and with the prime minister, no less.
During a recent question and answer session with students at the University of Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that nobody was ever forced to be vaccinated and implied it is his role as prime minister to keep Canadians safe.
Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities.
The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition.
Last week, Canadian civil servants voted to strike when the government did not accede to their demand for a 13.5 per cent wage increase over three years, along with eliminating the pesky need to leave their homes to go work.
Let us, for the moment, put aside the fact that most Canadians wouldn’t even dream about that type of pay increase. Let us also ignore the reality that asking an employee to go to the office is quite a normal request. Let us say that the stated demands could be reasonable, under one simple condition: competence.
This was a bad week for free speech in Canada.
It has become clear that “progressive” opinion is lining up behind censorship of what Canadians can and cannot say on the Internet, including criticism of politicians and bureaucrats.
According to a story on the Ottawa-insider news site, Blacklock’s Reporter, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault told a podcast affiliated with the Liberal Party that the government believes federal regulators should have the authority to temporarily block or even shut down websites that say hurtful things about politicians and public servants.
The Biden administration is quietly preparing for the possibility that if Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive falls short of expectations, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has come up short, too.
Ukraine’s ever-imminent counteroffensive will attempt to retake Russian-seized territory most likely in the east and south, though for operational reasons no senior officials from Kyiv have detailed specifics.
