Ontario Student Protesting Transgender Use of Girls’ Washroom Files ‘Religious Discrimination’ Appeal

A Catholic high school student in Renfrew, Ontario, has filed an appeal with his school board after being suspended over his interactions with transgender students. He alleges that the suspension constitutes discrimination against his religious beliefs.

Josh Alexander, a Grade 11 student at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, told The Epoch Times he is standing up for girls at his school who feel uncomfortable with biological males who identify as females using the girls’ washroom. One such female student told The Epoch Times, “for my own privacy and safety … I felt like I had to say something.”

Jordan Peterson is being disciplined for his tweets. Why some say that raises free speech issues

Jordan Peterson says he has no intention of giving up his fight with Ontario’s psychologist regulatory body, accusing the college of attempting to stymie his speech and discipline him for his political opinions.

The College of Psychologists of Ontario has ordered Peterson — who has gained international fame for his bestselling self-help books and lectures — to undergo a media training program, saying some of his tweets may be “degrading” the profession and even raise questions about his abilities as a psychologist.

CDC identifies possible ‘safety concern’ – people receiving Bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may suffer strokes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that a preliminary COVID-19 vaccine “safety signal” has been identified and is investigating whether the Bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine creates an increased risk of ischemic stroke in people 65 and older.

In the Friday statement, the CDC said that the preliminary signal hasn’t been identified with the Bivalent Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

“Following the availability and use of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines, CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a near real-time surveillance system, met the statistical criteria to prompt additional investigation into whether there was a safety concern for ischemic stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent,” the CDC said.

Don Braid: Federal Liberals set to bungle another ‘just transition’ — this time on a national scale

The federal government failed dismally to help 1,100 Alberta workers during the coal industry shutdown. Now it pledges “just transition” for many thousands of oil and gas workers, with legislation coming this year.

There is nothing to show we can trust the federal Liberals with such an upheaval. In fact, the word straight from Ottawa shows the feds simply aren’t up to it. This should concern everyone, including those who want the industry to meet climate goals.

Facebook Admits Suppressing ‘Often True’ Content on COVID-19 Vaccines

A Facebook executive told the White House that the social media platform not only suppressed “misinformation” but also took action against the “virality” of “often true” content on the COVID-19 vaccines.

The information was in an email obtained through the Missouri court case Missouri vs. Biden, which alleges top Biden administration officials “colluded with Big Tech social media companies to violate Americans’ right to free speech under the First Amendment.”

Latest Pentagon UFO report records hundreds of new sightings

In the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congress ordered the Pentagon to establish a new office to replace the UAP Task Force and investigate and “resolve” sightings of UFOs. Of course, we’re not supposed to call them UFOs anymore (too bad! I’m a rebel!), instead referring to them as UAP. That used to stand for unidentified aerial phenomena, but now they’ve changed it yet again to mean “unidentified anomalous phenomena.” (The nomenclature changes a lot, so bear with me.) The word “aerial” implies only objects flying in our atmosphere. The new name takes into account sightings of objects in space and even under the water, including some that can apparently travel between two or even all three environments, also known as “transmedium” objects.

Sam Bankman-Fried ordered $65B ‘secret backdoor line of credit,’ lawyer says

Sam Bankman-Fried ordered the co-founder of his cryptocurrency exchange FTX to create a “secret” backdoor that allowed his hedge fund Alameda Research to borrow $65 billion of clients’ money without their permission, according to testimony over the firm’s implosion.

Gary Wang was told to create a secret line of credit using customer funds from FTX to Alameda, said Andrew Dietderich, an attorney for FTX, in Delaware bankruptcy court on Wednesday.

“Mr. Wang created this backdoor by inserting a single number into millions of lines of code for the exchange, creating a line of credit from FTX to Alameda, to which customers did not consent,” Dietderich testified.

The climate scaremongers: Sky’s extreme weather propaganda

THIS week it was the turn of Sky News to bang the extreme weather drum. Having ludicrously called last year ‘freakishly hot’ in the UK, they claimed: ‘Hot temperatures throughout the year [in the UK] fuelled prolonged drought, threatened crops and drove hundreds of excess deaths’, also noting that ‘last year saw Europe’s worst drought in 500 years, savage heat in India, and multibillion dollar losses from Hurricane Ian in Florida and from flooding in Pakistan. Burning fossil fuels, intensive animal farming and slashing down forests are contributing to the rising global temperature, which in turn is driving costly, violent and extreme weather’.

With F.B.I. Search, U.S. Escalates Global Fight Over Chinese Police Outposts

Beijing says the outposts aren’t doing police work, but Chinese state media reports say they “collect intelligence” and solve crimes far outside their jurisdiction.

The nondescript, six-story office building on a busy street in New York’s Chinatown lists several mundane businesses on its lobby directory, including an engineering company, an acupuncturist and an accounting firm.

A more remarkable enterprise, on the third floor, is unlisted: a Chinese outpost suspected of conducting police operations without jurisdiction or diplomatic approval — one of more than 100 such outfits around the world that are unnerving diplomats and intelligence agents.

The Royal silence over Prince Harry can’t go on

Even Prince Harry’s critics must concede that his memoir Spare has been an enormous success. The book is the UK’s fastest-selling nonfiction book ever: 400,000 copies flew off the shelves on its first day. The Duke of Sussex’s recent blitzkrieg of high-profile publicity opportunities, on both sides of the Atlantic, leaves little doubt that he is, at least for now, the most famous man in the world. Not bad for a self-described ‘spare’. But there is one group of high-profile people whose thoughts are both eagerly sought and, for the time being, withheld: the Royal Family.

Minnesota Poised To Ban Christians, Muslims, And Jews From Teaching In Public Schools

Minnesota will soon ban faithful Christians, Muslims, and Jews from teaching in public schools by requiring that every state-certified teacher “fosters an environment that ensures student identities such as … gender identity … are … affirmed.” Once the new requirements clear a final procedural hurdle, they will be immediately challenged in state and possibly federal court, a civil liberties lawyer told The Federalist on Tuesday.

Canada’s F-35 jet procurement was a debacle – and it’s not even our most embarrassing one

It would all be irresistibly comic, if it were not so ruinous. More than 12 years have passed since the day in 2010 when the Conservative government announced it would buy 65 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets, a replacement for the air force’s fleet of CF-18s that even then were universally described as “aging.”

The process by which the F-35 was chosen, a sole-source contract without competitive bids, was controversial, as was the price: $9-billion, plus – well, it was hard to get a straight answer out of the Tories when it came to the costs of maintenance and operations. At length an estimate emerged of the full “lifecycle” cost of the jets: $45-billion over 30 years. True, the plane was widely acknowledged to be state-of-the-art, the most advanced of its kind in the world. But critics wondered why Canada needed to have the very top of the line in fighter jets, especially at the price.
