A Scouts Canada survey found that most Canadians are concerned that children aged 10 to 21 are too soft and have not been taught appropriate coping skills to navigate their future.
The survey, which included 1,000 Canadians, uncovered that social media channels, screens and lack of development, social/peer pressure, video games and helicopter parenting are the biggest dangers to kids today.

When Bashar al-Assad was toppled on Sunday, it turned the page on not only his 24-year presidency but on more than 50 years of his family ruling Syria.
Before Assad took office in 2000, his late father Hafez was president for three decades.
Now, with rebels led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir-al Sham (HTS) forming a transitional government, the future of the deposed president, his wife and their three children is uncertain.
They are now in Russia, where they have been offered asylum, but what lies ahead for them?
How proud are you to be Canadian?
Canadians’ pride in our country has taken a dramatic dive in recent years, a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute suggests, accompanying a loss of emotional attachment to this country.
Take a look at the data, and why this might be happening.
Not a surprise given the Trudeau Liberals have done all they can to shit on Canada and Canadians.
We don’t hate Trudeau enough.
The silence over the Jan. 6, 2021, pipe bomb incident is deafening. The radio silence on what we’ve been assured are “viable” pipe bombs planted outside the DNC and near the RNC on J6 continued in the Inspector General’s report when he offered only a few treacly paragraphs on the issue. Keeping the pipe bomb issue on the DL raises the spidey senses of those who believe that the pipe bomb incidents, far from being a J6 sideshow, were a planned diversion by — who, exactly? — to stop the Electoral College counting when Republican senators were to be offering proof of shady ballot counting and calling for an audit of the 2020 election.
Enough already with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s faux he-feminist act.
All his pretty, passionate words about being a soul sister yearning to protect women and stand up for their rights amount to putting the wrong shade of lipstick on a pig. They’ve proven meaningless, deceptive, a pathetic ruse to get votes.
Censorship. Funding cuts. Layoffs.
Those concerns loom over the world’s largest conference of climate scientists as they brace for whiplash at the White House when President-elect Donald Trump takes office in six weeks. Trump has recently said climate change isn’t happening, called it a hoax and joked that rising seas would create more coastal real estate — all in contradiction to the work of the 25,000 researchers attending the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in downtown Washington this week.
Everyone in the system seemed to know about Evan Chase Rain.
Violent, impulsive, drug-addicted, ugly and unrepentant.
But what can you do, right?

To many Britons, the word “sectarianism” is associated with unfortunate parts of the world such as the Middle East, or, closer to home, Northern Ireland. The thought of homegrown sectarianism disfiguring politics on the mainland, perhaps for the first time since the 17th century, is a troubling one. Yet it may already be a reality which we have to confront.
The Gaza independent alliance — featuring four Muslim MPs elected to Parliament in July’s general election, as well as former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn — is reportedly looking to officially form and register as a political party. Since the election it has become symbolic of a new sectarian politics emerging in Britain, with campaign groups such as The Muslim Vote using Gaza to voice their disaffection with Labour for taking Muslim voters for granted.
The prime minister is right, the prime minister is always right. How could he be wrong, he who is so virtuous, so compassionate and so sunny? And if you disagree, you are wrong, very wrong.
And so, we are faced with the tyranny of virtue.
If a federal election is not held until October, it is going to be a long, tiresome and painful 10 months of Justin Trudeau raging at both Canadians and Americans like a demented harpy with her talons caught in a car door.
When teachers at a primary school in Hampshire invited the local vicar to give a talk about the birth of Jesus, they did not expect it to end with irate parents, sobbing children and a “ruined” Christmas.
Parents have complained after the Rev Dr Paul Chamberlain took the opportunity to speak about other elements of Christmas to a group of ten and eleven-year-olds.
Pupils at Lee-on-the-Solent Junior School began to sob as he told them that Father Christmas was not real, and added that their parents bought their presents and ate the biscuits left out for Santa.
Every year, every year!
For those who enjoy indulging in a little Ottawa “Kremlinology,” there’s been a lot of interesting buzz, increasingly in the open, about rifts in the Liberal government. The most prominent of those differences includes two cabinet ministers, who have perhaps the highest profiles: Mélanie Joly and, just this week, Chrystia Freeland.
Other disagreements are less prominent, but no less instructive. Last week, the CBC reported that Chandra Arya, an Ontario-based Liberal MP, was accusing one of his fellow Liberal MPs, B.C.-based Sukh Dhaliwal, of threatening him and aggressively accosting him outside the House of Commons.
A new study has found that the number of Canadians donating to charity, measured as a percentage of all tax filers, has declined to the lowest point in 20 years.
The Fraser Institute released this year’s Generosity Index, which measures the proportion of Canadians filing donations to charities in their taxes and the amount that Canadians donate as a portion of their income. The index shows that Canada’s rate of charitable giving is on a continued decline.
From the labeling of Orthodox Catholic Americans as extremists, investigations into “anti-abortion extremists” as significant national security threats, the raid of Mar-a-Lago, the relentless January 6 witch-hunting, and the onslaught of rhetoric about white supremacy, the FBI appears to be politically motivated agency.
Kyle Seraphin, FBI agent turned whistleblower, contends that the FBI’s transformation was set in motion after 9/11, when the agency was granted sweeping reforms and expanded surveillance powers, which he believes laid the foundation for the politicization that followed.
The leader of UnitedHealth Group conceded that the patchwork U.S. health system “does not work as well as it should” but said Friday that the insurance executive gunned down on a Manhattan sidewalk cared about customers and was working to make it better.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was killed last week, was described as kind and brilliant by UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty in a guest essay published in The New York Times.
