Voice of America (VOA), a U.S government-funded public broadcaster, has expunged a video from its website after the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) announced on April 21 that it had “initiated legal efforts” after VOA “falsely defamed” the group as “lobbyists for the Islamic Republic.”
VOA, which “reflects the views of the U.S. government,” told FWI that it is reviewing an episode involving NIAC that originally aired on April 6. The broadcast “was removed from circulation on April 11 for further editorial review, following VOA and industry best practices. The review is in progress. VOA will provide an update when the review is complete,” wrote a VOA spokesperson to FWI.
Every few years, the phrase “birth tourism” seems to re-emerge in the news cycle. It refers to non-residents giving birth outside of their home country to gain citizenship and, occasionally, health care for their newborns. Birth tourism isn’t illegal in Canada, but it’s a fraught issue that tends to kick up discussions about who deserves access to the country’s health care system, especially in times of low bandwidth. Like now.

A crowd of students recently protesting the LGBT agenda in a Quebec school tore down and trampled a rainbow “pride” flag.
Last week, a group of teenagers from the Chêne-Bleu Secondary School in Pincourt, Quebec cheered as one of their fellow students tore down a flag representing the LGBT agenda, supporting the act of defiance by trampling the flag once it was no longer flying.
And…
Note – Google Translate … This event is far from isolated and tends to grow. According to TVA Nouvelles , students from two high schools in Estrie protested against the day against homophobia and transphobia. At the Phare International School, a petition was launched to remove LGBTQ+ symbols and young people tore down posters and flags. The CSSRS has confirmed that measures have been taken with regard to the offending students. At La Frontalière secondary school in Coaticook, students dressed in black instead of the colors of the rainbow. Sanctions have been imposed and the CSSHC has assured that awareness-raising actions will be carried out.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said that while he has been careful not to attack the former governor general or his reputation, Johnston’s background has led to doubts about his work as the special rapporteur.
… The motion — which would be nonbinding if passed — is being introduced after NDP MP Jenny Kwan said she was briefed Friday by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
