Time to Think: how the Tavistock harmed children

Hannah Barnes’ book uncovers the terrifying lack of evidence behind so much ‘gender affirming’ treatment.

‘Are we hurting children?’ That is the question that underpins Hannah Barnes’ new book on the rise and collapse of the Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), the UK’s only specialist clinic for children experiencing gender dysphoria. GIDS is closing this spring following the findings of NHS England’s interim Cass Review last year. Time to Think aims to give us the answers as to why this has happened – and it delivers.

Haiti’s sudden turn for the worse puts Trudeau on the spot

“There’s one event that tells it all,” Haitian businessman Marco Larosilière told CBC News from his home in Port-au-Prince.

“Last week, the general inspector of the national police was kidnapped with his son in front of his school.”

If a high-ranking official of the national police is not safe, said Larosilière, “what about the rest of the population?”


Toronto armoured vehicle company rejects Haiti’s claim it hasn’t lived up to its word

Haiti’s troubled government is accusing Canada of stalling in its promised delivery of armoured vehicles, and argues the delay is hindering a plan to clear violent gangs from Port-au-Prince.

Yet the Toronto company making the mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles says it’s working as fast it can in the face of supply-chain disruptions and mistakes by Haitian officials.

C’mon Even CAF is saying they’re not up to the task of taming Haiti’s Gangs. That’s how pathetic our government and armed forces are.

‘Suspicious object’ is discovered beneath Nord Stream 2 pipeline – with Putin claiming it could be an explosive device and pointing the finger at the US

A ‘suspicious object’ has been discovered beneath the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Black Sea, Danish investigators have said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said a ship rented by Russian energy company Gazprom had found an antenna-like object about 19 miles from where the Nord Stream pipelines exploded last year.

He claimed that the object could be an explosive device as he warned that a new explosion could occur on the pipelines.

Planted or sloppy or untraceable?

Terry Glavin: Pliant Liberals have helped China embed itself in Canada

Something rotten has spread through this country’s corporate sector, universities and political class

With all their filibustering and obstructionist “rapporteur” manoeuvres to draw attention away from the interference operations Beijing ran on their behalf during the 2019 and 2021 elections, the Trudeau Liberals might think they’re being clever. But they’re being too clever by half.

The longer this drags out, the more light gets shed on the squalid and intimate relationship between the Liberals’ political base in this country’s wealthy and well-connected Mandarin-bloc hierarchy and the Ferrari-driving consiglieri of Beijing’s strong-arming and influence-peddling network in Canada. It’s the same circle of power.

SVB was more interested in virtue-signaling than sound banking

Its collapse shows that the way bank deposits are insured needs to be rethought

Even by the standards of bank runs, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank was remarkable. In February, Forbes magazine had put it on its Best 100 Banks list. Yet on Thursday, depositors withdrew $48 billion. That’s $14 million a second. Lines formed outside the bank’s various branches, reminiscent of the Great Depression. California banking authorities shut it down and turned it over to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for sale or liquidation.

So what happened?
