The Senate on Tuesday approved a proposal to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, which if passed in the House and signed by President Biden, would mean Americans would never again have to set their clocks back an hour and lose an hour of afternoon daylight in the fall and winter.
If enacted into law, it would also mean that early risers lose an hour of daylight in the mornings in November, December, January and February.
The Law Society of Ontario has cancelled licensing exams scheduled for the next two weeks because test materials may have been leaked ahead of time.
A Saturday news release says online barrister and solicitor examinations scheduled to be written from March 8 to 11 and March 22 to 25 have been cancelled, affecting approximately 1,100 candidates.
The law society says it has information indicating some people may have accessed exam content and evidence suggests “potential involvement of third parties” in the leak.

Next week, members of the Québec National Assembly’s Culture and Education Committee will resume their arduous clause-by-clause study of Bill 96, a legislative piece that seeks to modernize Bill 101, the French Language Charter. Few among the media will follow their work, but that does not make it less important. Indeed, if adopted as is, the bill will considerably strengthen the provincial government’s powers on language issues. This should be cause for concern.
House Democrats voted Friday to pass the so-called “Build Back Better” plan, a multi-trillion-dollar welfare and climate change spending bill. They’re heralding it as a major accomplishment that will uplift struggling Americans and revitalize the economy. So, let’s review all the reasons it’s an utterly terrible piece of legislation.
… Despite being cleared of the murder charges, legal experts say Rittenhouse might struggle to win a defamation lawsuit against members of the media. There’s a strong case he is a public figure, meaning a high standard needs to be met to prove defamation, and many of the claims made against him are assertations of opinion, not fact.
According to the Justice Centre For Constitutional Freedoms, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has passed Bill 10, titled the Alberta Public Health(Emergency Powers) Amendment Act.
Incredibly, the bill provides unprecedented powers to any government minister at the stroke of a pen. The passing of the bill means that under the Alberta Public Health Act, MLA’s can create, implement and enforce news laws–without the law being approved by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
Earlier this year, the bill died in the Senate before the end of the last parliamentary session. Now that the Liberals have a minority government, they want to make regulating the internet a top priority.
As a group of about 100 anarchists raged through a Portland neighborhood on Oct. 12, police reportedly remained in their vehicles.
Some say their inaction is a direct result of confusion over an Oregon police-reform law passed last summer, which restricts how they can respond to such crowds.
In less than two hours, the group did an estimated $500,000 of damage to 35 locations, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings.
The president has repeatedly argued his multi-trillion social program – which increase funding for numerous fuderal programs involving education, healthcare and climate – will have no cost.
New reports revealed a supply glut in the Port of Los Angeles is a direct result of regulatory crackdown on the trucking industry by California’s ruling Democrats.
According to Forbes, a shortage of truckers and trucks in California is contributing to supply chain disruptions. Truckers say a new California law mandates that all trucks must be made in 2011 or newer, eroding competitiveness of independent truckers.
Democrats may soon cut the price tag of their latest spending bill somewhere below $3.5 trillion, but they are still desperate to get you to pay for some of it. That is why they are trying to raise $460 billion by taking your banking data.
Canada’s system of fiscal federalism and equalization is fundamentally broken and Albertans are finally being given the chance to do something about it.
During next week’s municipal elections, Albertans will have the rare opportunity to participate in direct democracy and vote on the fairness of Canada’s equalization program. Specifically, they will be asked whether equalization payments should be removed from the constitution.
The Canadian government is considering new rules to regulate how social media platforms moderate potentially harmful user-generated content. Already, the proposed legislation has been criticized by internet scholars — across the political spectrum — as some of the worst in the world.
