When you went to elementary school, did your teacher ever suggest—even in his or her most sinister dream—that the class all go to a strip club to sample a bit of salacious sexual culture? Never. It would never have been imagined.
How about inviting a drag queen to the school for story-time?
Amid speculation she will register for Toronto’s mayoral election, Olivia Chow is planning to make an announcement on Monday morning.
According to a media advisory Sunday afternoon, Chow is holding an event at 10:30 a.m. at the Dragon City Mall in downtown Toronto. It provided no further details.
Her election would cause a steep increase in flight from the city.
As a multi-party delegation of Canadian politicians returns home from Taiwan, MPs say Canada can learn lessons from the island when it comes to dealing with the threat of foreign interference from China.
Speaking to CBC’s The House from Taiwan as they prepared to depart, Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong and Liberal MP John McKay — who chairs the parliamentary committee on national defence — said they had been impressed by the Taiwanese approach to resisting disinformation campaigns.
“I think there’s a lot of lessons that Canada can learn about foreign interference and how society and government should respond to harden Canadian society against this meddling that we’re experiencing from Beijing,” Chong told host Catherine Cullen.
A massive mob of rowdy teenagers clashed with cops near downtown Chicago’s Millenium Park on Saturday night, leaving two teens wounded and at least one bystander beaten.
The unruly mob erupted in violence — trashing property, smashing windshields and torching cars while attacking at least one motorist — forcing cops to escort tourists to safety, WFLD-TV News reported Sunday.
Chicago police said two teens — 16 and 17 years old — were wounded by a gunman in the crowd, the outlet reported.
Hope they pay reparations.
Canada’s housing market is not only facing the challenges of rising prices and supply shortages, but there is also a “growing mismatch” between the housing types being built and those preferred by many Canadians, according to a new report.
The report, published by the Fraser Institute on April 13, found that real estate markets Canada-wide experienced significant price increases since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with home prices being 28 percent higher in February 2023 than in March 2020.
Twitter has put a “government-funded media” label on CBC’s account in what is the latest move by the social media company to stamp public broadcasters with designations.
“Government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content,” according to Twitter.
City, University of London, insists it is committed to free and open-minded discussion
A university has “confiscated” the findings of an academic studying Britain’s gender wars in a row over her “dangerous” research data, The Telegraph can reveal.
Dr Laura Favaro began the first ever taxpayer-funded study into whether social scientists at universities feel censored over their views on transgender issues in March 2020 at City, University of London.
Men and women are uniquely different, not only complementing but actually completing one another.
Despite its face-value absurdity, the transsexual movement has a stranglehold on society. Political and cultural elites are shoving the trans agenda down normal people’s throats, no matter the cost. Anheuser-Busch recently took a $5 billion hit for dedicating its Bud Light beers to trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, top YouTuber MrBeast is losing fans for promoting a staffer’s “gender transition,” American staple Jack Daniels faced boycotts for plugging drag queens in a marketing campaign, Disney lost its massive Florida tax breaks for endorsing pro-LGBT legislation, and the list goes on.
The following are among the murders and abuses inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of March 2023:
Muslim Attacks on Churches
France: On Mar. 16, a man, previously “on file for his Islamist radicalization,” stormed the Saint-Hippolyte Church in Paris and disrupted its service. He also stole the church’s six foot tall Plexiglas cross, which had supported a 400-year-old wooden Christ. It was later found nearby, said police, “smashed into many pieces.” The man was “taken to the psychiatric infirmary of the Paris police headquarters, his condition not being considered compatible with his police custody.”
THE Stoics of ancient times believed that in many cases it was possible to control pain by thought alone. To achieve this, they stoically, as it were, accepted painful or unpleasant sensations, viewing them with studied indifference. As such, the pain often went away of its own accord, although to be fair they did use a painkiller known as theriac, which contained opium.
Back in October 2021, Alec Baldwin fatally shot the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the set of his film “Rust”.
The incident was most likely an accident, but irrespective of his intentions, Baldwin was responsible for the death of Hutchins.
“DeSantis does not respect American values.”
I remember when the media was defending Islamic terrorists. It’s a short step to making them our moral guides.
Demographers have a different kind of catastrophe to worry about
This week saw the unsurprising news that Japan’s population has fallen again. A sombre Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told the nation that there are now 556,000 fewer people in the country, a twelfth consecutive decline, and a record fall offset only by an influx of 175,000 immigrants in 2022.

There has been a good deal of talk lately about women’s spaces being invaded by biologically male persons identifying as women. Some women’s campaigners claim that the trans phenomenon constitutes an attack on womanhood itself, an attempt to ‘erase’ women and replace them with men who perform womanhood. Some even call it a new form of patriarchy.
But well before women had their single-sex spaces threatened, something similar had already happened to men. Beginning in the 1970s, men’s spaces were usurped, their maleness was denigrated, and policies and laws forced changes in male behaviour that turned many workplaces into feminised fiefdoms in which men held their jobs only so long as women allowed them to. The very idea of an exclusively male workspace or club – especially if it was a space for socialising (not so much if it was a sewer, oil field, or shop floor in which men did unpleasant, dangerous work) – came to be seen as dangerous. In light of the recent furor over single-sex spaces for women, it is useful to consider the source of some men’s justifiable apathy and resentment.
A new report from the United Nations has called for all forms of drug use and sexual activity to be decriminalized globally.
Written by the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ), UNAIDS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the report was released on International Women’s Day, with the goal of guiding “the application of international human rights law to criminal law.” Called the “8 March principles,” the report calls for offenses related to “sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty” to be decriminalized.
