Dutch doctors euthanized an autistic teen. Why some say that should be a ‘wake-up call’ for Canada

Four-and-a-half years after he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a Dutch teen was euthanized at his request.

The boy, aged between 16 and 18, had described his life as “joyless.” He’d struggled with anxiety and mood-related problems, and where he fit in, in the world. Oversensitive to stimuli, “every day was an ordeal he had to get through,” according to the latest annual report from the Netherlands’ regional euthanasia death review committees. “In the final weeks before his death, he lay in bed the whole time.”

Trump says ‘me and the ayatollah’ could control Strait of Hormuz if Iran deal reached

President Donald Trump said Monday that he and the top leader of Iran could control the Strait of Hormuz if a deal to end the war is reached.

Trump told CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins that the strait could be “jointly controlled” by the United States and Iran. “Maybe me? Maybe me. Me and the ayatollah, whoever the ayatollah is,” he said when asked who specifically would be in control of the body of water in this case.

They were injured in military service. Canada promised better rehab. Here’s why these veterans are still in pain

Though his tours in Afghanistan and Ukraine left their mark on his body and brain, Tristan Barkwell hoped to live a normal life beyond the base.

After his medical release last year, the 37-year-old sergeant enrolled in the military’s rehabilitation program with the goal of becoming a radiology technician.

“I was very motivated to heal,” he told the Star from his home in Edmonton.

But the publicly-funded program that was supposed to help demoralized him.

Why three byelections on April 13 could change the makeup of the House of Commons

OTTAWA – Three byelections are being held on April 13 and the results could have an impact on both the makeup of Parliament and how long it lasts.

Here’s a primer on how things could change.

Where are the byelections?

The votes are in two Liberal stronghold seats in the Toronto area and one contested riding in Quebec, north of Montreal.

I may never understand Toronto voters.

U.S. military aircraft using Canadian airspace to refuel en route to Middle East

American military aircraft have been using Canadian airspace to refuel on their way to the Middle East, backed by a long-standing NORAD agreement that does not require the U.S. to ask permission from Canada to do so.

On March 12, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET, two KC-135T Stratotankers – large American refuelling aircraft – were observed overhead by residents of Moose Factory, Ont., along with several other aircraft, the make and model of which could not be identified from images captured by a resident of the town.

‘In 20 years most of the world could be racist dictatorships’ says racist fraud

‘I think I’ve had at least seven books that have been banned in the United States,” says Ibram X Kendi, in a tone that carries no bitterness but stops just short of pride. It’s proof, he says, that his works on racism, which extend from deep, scholarly histories to a biography of Malcolm X for children, are getting through to the right people – and annoying the right people. According to the writers’ advocacy group PEN America, his books have been banned at least 50 times by multiple US school districts during the tumultuous “anti-woke” backlash of the past five years. He’s not happy about that, but nor was he discouraged. “I understood that the major reason why people were singling me out and demonising me was because they did not want people reading my books,” he says. “And when the character assassinations did not work to the scale that they wanted them to, then they started banning my books, and the books of many others.”

How a ban on religious symbols has triggered a Canadian constitutional debate

A controversial secularism law in Quebec is heading to Canada’s Supreme Court – but the outcome will impact much more than religious expression in Canada, legal experts say.

The case has the potential to test national unity and the balance between courts and elected officials.

“This case is probably going to be the most important constitutional case in a generation,” said Christine Van Geyn, executive director at the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

Appointment of trans person as endometriosis representative ridiculed

A female novelist has criticised the appointment of a trans woman to represent an endometriosis charity, comparing it to a white person claiming to speak for black people.

Amanda Craig, who has published nine novels and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2021, spoke out after Steph Richards was named as the parliamentary engagement officer for Endometriosis South Coast.

Endometriosis is a chronic and painful gynaecological condition in which cells similar to those in the lining of the uterus grow in other parts of the body. It affects one in ten women in the UK.

Will Canada unshackle itself in time? The global energy and minerals window of opportunity

“We are touchingly prone to mistaking our models of reality for reality itself, mistaking the strength of our certainty for the strength of the evidence, thus moving through a dream of our own making that we call life…we are simply not capable of processing the full scope of reality. Our minds cope by choosing fragments of it to the exclusion, and often to the erasure, of the rest.” – Maria Popova/The Marginalian

Great words, hey? All part of the human condition. All of us suck, in this regard, at some time or other. Best practice, as a human, is to just become cognizant of this trap we all fall into.

It is even easier to fall into the trap when surrounded by like-minded or sycophantic people, one’s that don’t challenge much. In other words, politics.

Labour council promotes exhibition showing ‘Jews’ eating babies

An “anti-Semitic” art exhibition with drawings allegedly showing Jewish people eating babies was seemingly promoted by a Labour council.

The Drawings Against Genocide exhibition at an independent gallery in Margate, Kent, features hundreds of crudely-drawn pictures that critics claim contain anti-Semitic tropes.

It is the work of Matthew Collings, 70, formerly one of the country’s leading art critics, who said the art was “about raising consciousness about hell” and that “Israel is the pure encapsulation of it” through its actions in Gaza.

Bruce Pardy: Racial discounts for violent criminals was inevitable in equity-obsessed Canada

In December 2021, Everton Downey stabbed his girlfriend Melissa Blimkie 15 times in a stairwell at a shopping mall in Burnaby. She died. Downey was convicted of second-degree murder. In February, the British Columbia Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison, the minimum sentence set out in the Criminal Code. The Crown sought no chance for parole for at least 15 years. But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes decided on 12 years instead, in part because of “mitigating circumstances of his background,” as described in his Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA). The time to parole was reduced because of Downey’s experience of being Black.
