Criminalising parental love

More and more nations are making it an offence to steer your kid away from transgenderism.

Mums and dads in Canada who have gender-confused kids need to be careful what they say from now on. Because it is now potentially an offence to discourage your son or daughter from going down the transgender road. A new law, enacted this month, updates Canada’s criminal code to make it a crime to ‘repress a person’s non-cisgender gender identity’ or to ‘repress… a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth’. You’re a dad who loves his son and refuses to let him wear a dress or adopt a female name or swallow some puberty-blockers? Well, you could be in trouble. That could count as ‘repression of gender identity’. You could be locked up for five years.

Vaping regulations are all about protecting tobacco tax revenues

 

It’s National Non-Smoking Week in Canada, which falls on the third week of January and is dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers of smoking cigarettes. January 2022 is also the month that Health Canada had hoped it would be able to implement a ban on flavoured vaping products — a proposal that will discourage smokers from switching to less-harmful products. But perhaps that’s exactly the point.

Xavier is checking out a custom Mod I had made for Kathy a couple of years ago featuring Pip. Xavier is coming along but definitely has some “Alpha Cat” traits.

Giving Up on Canada

There’s an old joke about the typical Canadian who is nudged off the sidewalk by a passerby and immediately apologizes, a humorously rueful sign of the national character. The other side of the debased coin is the sense of national superiority, in particular to our putatively boorish neighbor south of the border, a cultural factor that came politically to the fore during the stridently anti-American Liberal government of Jean Chrétien. Neither tendency does us much credit.

A Culture of Corruption

In Baltimore, crime-tolerant state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby seems willing to break the law herself.

When sworn in as Baltimore’s state’s attorney seven years ago, Marilyn Mosby was the first of a new wave of progressive prosecutors. She might now be the first to take an early retirement—perhaps to a federal penitentiary.

Last week, the Justice Department indicted Mosby on perjury charges. She allegedly made false statements on key documents while chasing a quick buck in real estate in 2020, avoiding penalties and taxes on withdrawals from her retirement accounts by claiming Covid-related economic hardship but without actually suffering any layoffs or reductions in her $248,000 salary. Then she neglected to mention a federal tax lien while mortgaging two Florida properties, one of which has already sold for a tidy gross profit of $151,000.

Afghan women taken from their homes after speaking out

The Taliban can threaten with a whisper. After 20 years of violent struggle, and the loss of tens of thousands of civilian lives, they took power here using brutal force.

Even so, Afghan women refuse to be intimidated.

Tamana Zaryabi Paryani is one of those women. It takes raw courage to stand up to armed men who want to take away almost everything you have achieved in life.

Charity sector worth $300B per year, but CRA audits have dropped four-fold since 2010

If you are auditing 1 in 400 charities per year … it is going to leave a lot of charities out that are doing some very bad things and CRA is not auditing them’

OTTAWA – The Canada Revenue Agency’s charitable audits have dropped four-fold in the last decade, with just over 200 done in 2019, leaving experts concerned that fraud and mismanaged funds are going undetected.

I’m shocked.

Do Ukrainians and Russians believe a full-scale war is possible?

“You can’t interview me I’m kind of famous in Ukraine ha ha!”

OK, I confess I didn’t know who the woman was, but her thoughts didn’t exactly seem preoccupied by a possible invasion on her country.

Her mood is matched by many at the snowy Kyiv food market we cross paths in, which wouldn’t look out of place on a Christmas card.

“Russia can do anything thanks to Putin, who is unpredictable,” says Volodymyr, who’s less concerned about his celebrity status.

“As long as Putin is there, risk will always remain.”

ChiCom Slave State hires western TikTokers to polish its image during 2022 Winter Olympics

An army of western social media influencers, each with hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok, Instagram or Twitch, is set to spread positive stories about China throughout next month’s Winter Olympics.

Concerned about the international backlash against the Beijing Games amid a wave of diplomatic boycotts, the government has hired western PR professionals to spread an alternative narrative through social media.

Almost 60 Percent of Canadians Negatively Affected by Rising Food Costs Amid High Inflation, Poll Shows

A new survey shows that growing numbers of Canadians are finding it harder to put food on the table as the country’s annual inflation rate reaches a 30-year high.

The Angus Reid Institute poll, conducted online between Jan. 7 and Jan. 12, shows that three in five Canadians (57 percent) say it is “difficult” to feed their households, a 20 percent increase since the institute asked the same question in 2019.
