Despite Talk of Parental Rights, Ontario Schools Still Keep Gender Changes Secret

While Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Premier Doug Ford have both said parents should be informed when their children are transitioning genders at school, the province’s school boards have continued with policies that parents should not be informed.

“To date, not one Ontario school board has adopted a policy to require parental involvement in these sensitive interventions,” Julia Malott, a transgender person vocally in favour of parental rights, wrote in an op-ed for the National Post on Jan. 21.

Ford may be in for a rude awakening if he keeps this crap up.

Greens try to flip the script: Blame conservatives, not the Green Deal

LYON, France — We have met the enemy, and he is not us.

That was the defiant battle cry in southern France over the weekend, where Europe’s green politicians had gathered under a cloud of fury seemingly directed at them.

Farmers have taken to the streets in recent weeks to protest EU environmental regulations and cross-border competition while demanding better wages — issues that could easily be lumped under the Green Deal umbrella, a slate of climate-friendly policies that literally bear the European Green Party’s name.

The covid booster cancer time bomb

I HAVE previously reported on my concern about the rise in stable cancer relapses that I have witnessed in my melanoma clinic.

None of these patients of mine presented with the classic prodrome of relapse that I had always noticed previously, such as severe depression due to bereavement, divorce or bankruptcy. Indeed the only thing I found they had in common was to have had a recent booster mRNA covid vaccine. I phoned around my colleagues not only in the UK but also in Australia to check their experience. In no case did they deny such a link. Indeed, they were equally alarmed at the association between booster vaccines and relapse that they too were witnessing, as well an increase in new cancers, particularly in those below 50 years old. In addition to melanoma these colleagues were also very concerned about a sudden big increase in young patients with colorectal cancer.

No, you don’t need to be disabled to play Richard III

Richard III

The Globe Theatre in London has come under fire for a supposedly controversial casting choice. Last week, it was announced that Michelle Terry, who is also the Globe’s artistic director, would be taking on the titular role in Shakespeare’s Richard III later this summer. Outrage immediately ensued. Because according to identitarian activists, Terry doesn’t have the ‘lived experience’ needed to play the scheming king.

Early testing shows EVs smash through guardrails like bulldozers

Last Saturday I took my boys to the local museum of natural science, and although we live close enough to walk, it was pouring rain, so we drove. Without thinking I parked, but my oldest pointed out that the car next to us looked like an E.V. and suggested I find another spot, so I did—I may or may not have instilled in my kids a healthy and rational skepticism of the E.V. movement, and a concern that these cars are exceptional fire hazards (but definitely did).

The Truck: A Rolling Symbol of America

Can a car, or a passenger vehicle, capture the very spirit of a country?

As a matter of fact, it can. The car has evolved differently depending on where in the world we go. Cars in India tend to be small because their cities are so crowded and the purchasing power is generally low. Japanese cars have historically been incredibly reliable, because people do not expect to have to buy that many of them throughout their lifetime.

Swedish cars—back when they built their own cars and not Chinese clones—were modest, safe, and ‘lagom’ (‘just right’)—three adjectives that define the Swedish national character.

But what about America? What vehicle captures the American spirit?

Experts reveal what caused Buddy Holly’s plane to crash 65 years ago today

So many sing about “the day that music died” on Feb. 3, 1959, when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson were killed in a plane crash.

Don McLean coined the term in his 1971 hit “American Pie.”

The song about the decline of the 60s starts with the death of the three young musicians, “the end of the happy 50s,” he told Forbes Magazine.

As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do.

Grace Powell was 12 or 13 when she discovered she could be a boy.

Growing up in a relatively conservative community in Grand Rapids, Mich., Powell, like many teenagers, didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. She was unpopular and frequently bullied.

Puberty made everything worse. She suffered from depression and was in and out of therapy.

“I felt so detached from my body, and the way it was developing felt hostile to me,” Powell told me. It was classic gender dysphoria, a feeling of discomfort with your sex.

Suspending financial aid to UN agency punishes Palestinians

One hundred-plus days of war. More than 26,083 people killed. More than 65,000 housing units destroyed and 1.7 million residents displaced.

Gaza is a catastrophe. And unbelievably, the situation there could get worse.

Canada and other countries have suspended funding to the UN agency that provides assistance to Palestinians in the embattled territory. The decision came after allegations by the Israeli government that a number of agency workers were involved in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that killed some 1,200 people and took more than 200 others hostage. More than 100 of them are still being held captive.

Minister sorry for ‘crappy piece of land’ remark that angered pro-Palestinian groups

VERNON, B.C. – B.C. Premier David Eby says Post-Secondary Education Minister Selina Robinson needs to “repair the damage” caused by her comments that Israel was founded on a “crappy piece of land,” angering pro-Palestinian groups and triggering calls for her resignation.

Eby says the remarks were “totally unacceptable,” and “increase division” in the province at a time when people of Palestinian descent are feeling alienated.

Robinson apologized in a social media post on Thursday, saying her comments were “disrespectful,” and she had been referring to the land having limited natural resources.

Justin Trudeau needs to stop his Donald Trump trash talk, former ambassador warns

OTTAWA — A former Canadian ambassador to Washington says Justin Trudeau should ditch the anti-Trump “MAGA Conservative” rhetoric directed at the Liberals’ Canadian political rivals.

David MacNaughton, who co-chaired the Ontario campaign for Trudeau’s 2015 election victory, says it’s neither a wise domestic political strategy nor is it smart for Canada-U.S. relations.

In an interview Friday, MacNaughton said the prime minister is taking a risk by being seen to take swipes at Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, in a U.S. presidential election year.

Jake Fuss: The Trudeau government’s terrible economic record can’t be brushed aside

As the federal Parliament returned this week, there’s been a renewed debate about the Trudeau government’s economic record and the state of Canada’s economy relative to its peers. A comprehensive evaluation—including key metrics such as investment, income growth, and living standards—demonstrates an overall record of economic stagnation.
