Joe Biden has described efforts to block children from transgender medical treatments as “close to sinful”.
The US president said that federal laws should be passed to protect transgender rights as he hit out at Ron DeSantis’ restrictions in Florida.
The Florida governor is set to enact a measure banning transgender medical interventions in the state for under-18s, which Mr Biden called “cruel”, in a rare interview set to be broadcast on Monday night.
Gun owners in Alberta are feeling hopeful after the provincial government tabled new firearms legislation last week, but experts say it is not yet clear if Bill 8 will have the power to trump federal legislation.
Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro introduced the legislation Tuesday, saying the goal of the bill is to offer more clarity and autonomy to Albertans over firearms regulations after amendments to the federal firearms laws received pushback
It is important that Canadians, when listening to politicians such as Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, Rachel Notley, and a motley crew of others, understand what they are talking about when they declare their support for “transgender rights.” What they mean — but don’t say — is that biological men who identify as women have the legal right to frequent female-only spaces, regardless of whether they have “transitioned.”
For weeks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals minimized, claimed ignorance, or flat-out denied various allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s election process and its democratic institutions. But the court of public opinion could only absorb so much nonsense about a long-standing, decades-old problem and ruled against them.
Ottawa is now scurrying to stop the political bleeding.
The US government may have paid twice for grants it doled out to fund research at labs in Wuhan, China, according to a newly launched federal probe that found tens of millions of dollars in potentially fraudulent payments.
The “risky” projects bankrolled by the National Institutes of Health and the US Agency for International Development would have helped pay for medical supplies, equipment, travel expenses and salaries at the Wuhan labs, according to CBS News, which broke the story Monday.
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — Around 3 p.m. on a February Friday, in the middle of a snowstorm, a Greyhound bus slowly turns into a combination gas station and Dunkin’ Donuts on the outskirts of Plattsburg, N.Y., a small city roughly 30 minutes from the U.S.-Canada border.
The wannabe terrorist convicted of killing eight people on a New York City bike path in 2017 was spared the death penalty on Monday after a federal jury could not come to a unanimous decision.
Sayfullo Saipov, 35, will instead be sentenced to life in prison without parole, spending the rest of his days at Colorado’s Supermax facility, the most secure federal prison in the US.
He was convicted in January of brutally murdering eight people with the goal of joining the terrorist Islamic State organization.
What needs to happen before Canada takes action on foreign interference? Apparently something as drastic as leaks of top-secret intelligence documents to the media.
Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to recent reports of Chinese foreign interference and disinformation campaigns in Canadian federal elections by announcing that his government would appoint an independent special rapporteur to investigate, provide recommendations and decide if a public inquiry is necessary. Further steps include reviews by intelligence bodies on such foreign-interference issues and new funding for civil-society organizations to combat disinformation.
Wishful thinking, the Trudeau government has already chosen to play on Team Xi.
The unexpected seizure of two banks in three days by regulators intensified fears of a broader financial crisis, sending the stocks of more than two dozen banks into free fall on Monday, even as President Biden reassured Americans that the banking system was resilient and that customers’ money was safe.
Banks of various sizes in different parts of the country — from San Francisco-based First Republic Bank to Salt Lake City-based Zions Bank — found themselves battling market turmoil as customers rushed to withdraw their deposits and investors, worried about more runs, dumped bank stocks.
‘Absolutely idiotic’. SVB insider says employees are angry with CEO
The blame game is on for who caused Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, and the tech sector is pointing the finger at SVB CEO Greg Becker for allowing his company to go down in history as the second-biggest US banking failure on record.
One Silicon Valley Bank employee, who requested anonymity to speak candidly, was dumbfounded by how Becker publicly acknowledged the extent of the bank’s financial troubles before privately lining up the necessary financial support to ride out the storm.
This set the stage for the panic that ensued as customers scrambled to pull their money.
The federal police force says it has so far received over a dozen promising leads on alleged Chinese police stations in the Montreal area since publicly identifying them last week.
“We’re currently at 15 serious tips received in relation to the presumed Chinese police stations in Montreal and Brossard,” RCMP Sergeant Charles Poirier said in a March 13 French statement.
The Duchess is reportedly poised to relaunch her blog, The Tig. But it won’t trouble brands like Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop – for one big reason
Poor Gwyneth Paltrow must be quaking in her Isabel Marant boots. Meghan Markle – that esteemed public figure – has just been given preliminary approval to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig.
According to reports, details filed with the US Trademark and Patent Office show that the website shut down by the 41-year-old in 2017 could make a comeback as early as next week – and go head-to-head with Paltrow’s £200 million lifestyle brand, Goop.
As Wagner mercenaries are being deliberately expended by the regular military as cannon-fodder in the battle for Bakhmut, their backer, Evgeny Prigozhin, is learning a hard lesson in Kremlin politics: it doesn’t matter how useful you were yesterday, what matters is how useful you may be tomorrow.
Documentary proof of an American president getting paid off by our greatest strategic rival, if not enemy, is no small matter.
James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, said some pretty important things yesterday, appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel. Despite being stonewalled by Janet Yellen over release of Suspicious Activity Reports from banks about Hunter Biden’s transactions, he has gotten evidence about Biden family receipt of money from the CCP.
COVID is an evolving story. No one has a monopoly on the truth on how and why the nightmare happened. Some now want to put it behind us. Others believe we should try to learn the lessons quickly to prevent the mistakes from being repeated.
Prominent among themes emerging from the Daily Telegraph’s Lockdown Files is that Matt Hancock behaved as an egotistical clown, seemingly taking pleasure from terrorising the public into submission to unprecedented restrictions on freedom.
Guilting the population into compliance is the organisation’s only weapon
The animal cruelty campaigners at Peta had a knack for clickbait even before clickbait was a thing, famously persuading models including Eva Mendes, Pamela Anderson and Joss Stone to pose naked for campaigns against the use of fur, leather or animal products. Now they’ve joined the growing chorus telling us to go vegan or face disaster.
