Canadian Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-trudeau">Justin Trudeau&#8217;s</a> political rival shocked Parliament on Wednesday when he referenced an unconfirmed, scandalous rumor about Trudeau&#8217;s high school-teaching career.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre referenced an unconfirmed rumor that Trudeau was fired from his teaching position for an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Poilievre had a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Z-kt1itm0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heated back-and-forth</a> with Trudeau during a question period in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
WOW. You won’t believe how Pierre Poilievre responded regarding Trudeau’s stint as a high school teacher. 🔥🔥🔥 <a href="https://t.co/utzfXOfVJP">pic.twitter.com/utzfXOfVJP</a>

&#8220;Here&#8217;s the problem with the leader of the opposition,&#8221; Trudeau said. &#8220;He is in love with the sound of his own voice and his own attacks, but he doesn&#8217;t actually check the facts.&#8221;
Poilievre responded, &#8220;So the high school drama teacher over here accuses others of liking the sounds of their own voice, this from a guy who if he were made of chocolate, he would eat himself.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, Mr. Speaker, I was a high school teacher before getting into politics, and I&#8217;m having a little trouble remembering what exactly the job that the leader of the opposition had before getting into politics,&#8221; Trudeau replied.
&#8220;Yes, and he left right in the middle of the semester, and I&#8217;m having trouble remembering why,&#8221; Poilievre said.
The rumor goes that Trudeau was fired by West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver after he had a sexual relationship with a student, who allegedly signed a non-disclosure agreement.
The unverified allegations were <a href="https://buffalochronicle.com/2019/10/19/trudeaus-west-grey-accusor-was-much-younger-than-first-thought/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spread</a> by <a href="https://www.canadaland.com/the-buffalo-chronicle-is-not-reliable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gossip</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CBCTheNational/status/1143597183930904577" target="_blank" rel="noopener">websites</a> and have floated around social media for years.
Poilievre was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canadians-are-hurting-conservative-party-leaders-lopsided-victory-presents-challenge-to-trudeau" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elected</a> leader of Canada’s Conservative Party on September 10 in a landslide 68-16% vote over his more moderate opponent.
He is a career politician of nearly two decades and has been a member of Parliament since age 25.
Since taking office, the firebrand populist has been a thorn in Trudeau&#8217;s side, aggressively taking aim at the prime minister&#8217;s progressive agenda. His scorched-earth style has been <a href="https://theweek.com/canada/1016628/does-canada-have-its-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared</a> to the American right wing and former President Donald Trump.
Last year, Poilievre voiced <a href="https://twitter.com/pierrepoilievre/status/1488264488457367552" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support</a> for the anti-vaccine mandate trucker convoy that blocked the U.S.-Canada border, even <a href="https://twitter.com/PierrePoilievre/status/1542610025834655744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1542610025834655744%7Ctwgr%5E93b091c2eda4ba061b0c035928949bebf75eb540%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fglobalnews.ca%2Fnews%2F8959365%2Fcanada-day-convoy-james-topp-far-right-pierre-poilievre%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walking</a> with an army veteran who marched to Canada’s capital in protest of the mandates.
Meanwhile, Trudeau is touting his progressive agenda, which includes an aggressive climate change <a href="https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2022/eccc/En4-460-2022-eng.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plan</a> that would slash oil and gas emissions to 31% lower than 2005 levels by 2030. He has also <a href="https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2022/06/21/statement-prime-minister-national-indigenous-peoples-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prioritized</a> progressive items like government support for Canada’s indigenous population.
Trudeau&#8217;s job approval rating currently <a href="https://angusreid.org/trudeau-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sits</a> at 40%, slightly <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lower</a> than President Biden&#8217;s 40.9% as of Friday.
Trudeau has weathered his share of controversies over the years.
Back in 2019, Trudeau <a href="https://time.com/5680759/justin-trudeau-brownface-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized</a> after photos of him in blackface emerged showing Trudeau, who was 29 at the time, wearing a turban and dark makeup to an “Arabian Nights” gala at West Point Grey Academy, the same school the scandal rumors involve.
“It was a dumb thing to do. I’m disappointed in myself. I’m pissed off at myself,” Trudeau <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/09/18/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-pictured-wearing-brownface-at-2001-party/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.
He apologized again when another photo from the same event <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/09/20/new-trudeau-blackface-photo-lands-on-eve-of-canada-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emerged</a> the day before his reelection.
A video also <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/5922861/justin-trudeau-brownface-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surfaced</a> showing the prime minister in blackface on a separate occasion sometime during the 1990s.

A hometown crowd erupted in boos when Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass walked onto the field on Wednesday — his first appearance since he commented on the Bud Light and Target boycotts and then, a short time later, apologized for doing so.
Several separate waves of boos could be heard in a video clip shared by The Toronto Star&#8217;s baseball columnist Mike Wilner.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bass first stirred controversy when he shared an Instagram video from creator Ryan Miller — who called on Christians to boycott Target over clothing catering to trans-identifying children and Bud Light over its partnership with trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The Major League pitcher racked up a second round of criticisms when he offered an apology, saying in part, &#8220;I recognize yesterday I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine. I am truly sorry for that. As of right now, I am using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward.&#8221;

Critics attacked Bass for apologizing, noting that he professed to be a Christian and arguing that his apology amounted to a compromise of his beliefs.

It was unclear from the video taken of Bass at Wednesday&#8217;s game whether the crowd was booing because he had shared a video supporting the boycotts or because he later gave in to the calls to apologize for it.

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> reacted earlier this week to the rapidly increased cultural acceptance of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/euthanasia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assisted suicide</a> in <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canada</a> and warned that the phenomenon will continue to gain traction in the United States.
The requirements to seek assisted suicide, sometimes called medical assistance in dying, have been relaxed in Canada over the past several years. The practice is currently available only for adults with severe medical conditions but the criteria will soon <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/02/14/1156987170/canada-delays-expansion-of-medical-assistance-in-dying-to-people-with-mental-ill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expand</a> to include people with mental illness. In February, a Canadian parliamentary committee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canada-moves-toward-assisted-suicide-for-minors-critics-erupt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommended</a> that &#8220;mature minors&#8221; be allowed to seek assisted suicide even without parental consent.
Walsh noted in a Tuesday episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Matt Walsh Show</a>,” which is now available on Twitter and will soon be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-to-stream-all-shows-on-twitter-largest-free-speech-platform-in-the-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accompanied</a> by other Daily Wire streaming content next week, that there exists a logical progression between other perversions of medicine in the Western world to the use of supposed healthcare to kill people.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The euthanasia program in Canada is far more extreme than you think. And it’s coming here soon.
<a href="https://t.co/ghHCK8q58h">pic.twitter.com/ghHCK8q58h</a>
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1661477689767919617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Medicine has been inverted in this way in our society for a long time. Euthanasia is just the latest iteration,” Walsh commented. “Some of us, the so-called social conservatives, have been screaming about it from the rooftops for a long time, and we’ve been right all along. We have been right on every major cultural issue, from abortion, to gay marriage, to gender ideology, and we’re right about this too. Euthanasia is a dystopian abomination. It is a war on human life. It is a cancer, and like any cancer, it will never stay contained. It will never stop, it always spreads.”
The conservative commentator and blockbuster documentary maker characterized the practice as “eugenics” targeted toward purported undesirables. Some residents in Canada have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canadian-man-changes-mind-about-assisted-suicide-after-good-samaritans-step-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requested</a> assisted suicide for reasons such as expected homelessness, and in other instances, government healthcare providers suggested the practice in response to long wait times for medical care. Critics of assisted suicide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/holds-autonomy-as-the-highest-virtue-christian-physician-reacts-as-canada-erodes-limits-on-assisted-suicide-for-teens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">note</a> that governments with socialized health systems have incentives to promote the procedure rather than fund treatment for certain patients.
“To take care of sick people is expensive, but if you kill them, then you save a bunch of money, it turns out,” Walsh said. “Who cares about human life anyway when there’s money to be saved?”
More than one-quarter of Canadians strongly or moderately agreed that assisted suicide should be made available in the case of homelessness or poverty, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shocking-number-of-canadians-support-allowing-assisted-suicide-for-homelessness-poverty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a recent survey. Nearly half said the same with respect to mental illness. Substantial shares of the Canadian population also reject the notion that parents should receive criminal penalties for helping their children secure assisted suicide.
Walsh argued that the assisted suicide phenomenon in Canada has accelerated because of the nation’s increasingly irreligious culture, a trend also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/religion-patriotism-other-core-american-values-on-the-decline-but-one-not-so-wholesome-value-is-growing-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seen</a> in the United States. “Canadians don’t believe in God anymore, at least in a traditional sense. They believe that they are gods,” he continued. “They think that they can change their sex just by wishing for it. God doesn’t choose whether you’re male or female, you get to choose it, and you could change your sex in literally an instant. That’s what they seriously believe, and that’s what everyone on the Left believes, so it’s only natural that a society like that would gradually assume more God-like powers, including the power to decide who dies and when they die.”

Outside of Canada, officials in the Netherlands recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dutch-government-makes-life-termination-available-for-children-as-young-as-one-year-old" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> greater availability of “life termination” for children between one and twelve years of age. Portions of the United States, such as Oregon and Vermont, have likewise passed bills deregulating or encouraging assisted suicide.
“As always, culturally, we’re on the same track and on the same train as Canada, heading over the same cliff,” Walsh cautioned. “We’re just maybe a few train cars back.”

More than 25% of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadians</a> support allowing medically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/euthanasia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assisted suicide</a> in cases such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homelessness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">homelessness</a> and poverty, according to a <a href="https://researchco.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tables_MAiD_CAN_05May2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> released earlier this month by Research Co.
Assisted suicide, sometimes called medical assistance in dying, has been increasingly deregulated in Canada over the past several years. The practice is currently available only for adults with severe medical conditions despite recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canada-moves-toward-assisted-suicide-for-minors-critics-erupt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moves</a> to increase access for minors.
When asked whether assisted suicide should be made available in the case of homelessness, 11% of survey respondents said they “strongly agree,” and 17% said they “moderately agree.” Similar shares believe the same with respect to poverty: 11% of respondents “strongly agree” that destitution can serve as grounds for assisted suicide, while 16% “moderately agree.”
The poll comes as multiple accounts of residents who turn to assisted suicide because of their dire financial straits capture worldwide attention. Amir Farsoud, who receives government assistance for his chronic back pain and was informed that the home he shared with two other people was listed for sale, applied for medical assistance in dying to avoid homelessness and received approval from one physician. Strangers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canadian-man-changes-mind-about-assisted-suicide-after-good-samaritans-step-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundraised</a> more than $44,000 online when his story made international news, prompting him to change his mind.
Critics of the procedure <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/holds-autonomy-as-the-highest-virtue-christian-physician-reacts-as-canada-erodes-limits-on-assisted-suicide-for-teens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argue</a> that governments with socialized medical systems have clear incentives to promote the practice rather than funding treatment for certain patients, thereby overlooking the innate value of human beings and their fundamental right to life.
Nearly half of the respondents also said that mental illness should render one available to receive assisted suicide. Some 16% said they “strongly agree,” while 27% said they “moderately agree,” outweighing the share of respondents who either “moderately disagree” or “strongly disagree.”
Canada indeed implemented amendments to the nation’s criminal code that would increase the availability of assisted suicide such that a citizen with only a “mental illness” can request euthanasia starting next year, whereas the practice was previously limited to people with serious physical illnesses. “You do not need to have a fatal or terminal condition to be eligible for medical assistance in dying,” according to a <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html#a2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">webpage</a> published by the nation’s government.
Another question on the survey asked whether parents should receive criminal penalties for helping their son or daughter secure assisted suicide. Some 51% favored sanctions ranging from “a fine but no time in prison” to “a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment,” while 24% said they should receive “no penalty at all,” and 25% said they were “not sure.”

Canada does not explicitly <a href="https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/page-33.html#h-119953" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allow</a> minors to pursue assisted suicide; the nation’s government, however, has <a href="https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/article12/p3a.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a> that “children’s decision-making about health care issues occurs within a complicated legal framework.” The doctrine of the “mature minor,” for example, “allows children who are sufficiently mature to make their own treatment decisions.” Laws related to parental consent and “mature minor” status vary between provinces.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dutch-government-makes-life-termination-available-for-children-as-young-as-one-year-old" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> an expansion in the availability of “life termination” for children between one and twelve years of age. Officials said the new policy only concerns “a small group of terminally ill children” whose “palliative care options are not sufficient to relieve their suffering and who are expected to die in the foreseeable future.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> police reportedly arrested a teenager handing out bibles after an altercation broke out between his &#8220;Save Canada&#8221; group and pro-transgender counter-protestors during a demonstration on Wednesday in Calgary, Alberta.
Josh Alexander, 16, was handcuffed for allegedly causing a disturbance and provoking violence because he approached the activists during an organized &#8220;International Walkout&#8221; event supported by the Liberty Coalition Canada, Rebel News reported.
&#8220;Today I was handcuffed and put in a paddy wagon for offering students bibles on a public sidewalk in Calgary,&#8221; Alexander said in a tweet. &#8220;I was released and told if I returned, I would be arrested and charged.&#8221;

Maxime Bernier, leader of the People&#8217;s Party of Canada, condemned Canadian authorities in a <a href="https://twitter.com/MaximeBernier/status/1658936885845147648" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a>, accusing law enforcement of displaying a double standard of justice.
&#8220;If you burn a church in this country, the police won&#8217;t devote any resources to catching you,&#8221; Bernier said. &#8220;If you hand out bibles on the sidewalk however — or hold a rally to defend fundamental rights in a time of hysteria — you will be arrested and fined immediately. We&#8217;re a sick society.&#8221;
Alexander said he has faced being detained, arrested, charged, suspended, excluded, threatened, and assaulted on several occasions for taking a stand against progressive ideologies infiltrating the West.
Alexander organized the demonstration after St. Joseph&#8217;s Catholic High School in Renfrew — a town in Ontario, Canada — excluded him from attending school after expressing moral and religious objections in class and on social media earlier this year. According to the Liberty Coalition Canada <a href="https://libertycoalitioncanada.com/i-stand-with-josh-alexander/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, such views included him stating that only two genders exist, students cannot transition between male and female, and boys&#8217; and girls&#8217; bathrooms should remain separate.
School officials suspended Alexander after organizing a student walk-out to protest the staff&#8217;s alleged failure to address safety concerns for a female student.
Local media <a href="https://www.eganvilleleader.ca/breaking-news/student-arrested-for-trespassing-at-st-joes-following-non-disciplinary-exclusion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Alexander was also arrested earlier this year for trespassing following &#8220;non-disciplinary exclusion.&#8221; Alexander said he tried to attend his Automotive Mechanic class because he couldn&#8217;t &#8220;physically get inside a vehicle&#8221; while &#8220;learning online.&#8221;
&#8220;I told the officer I should not be excluded from attending in-person classes because of religious discrimination against me,&#8221; he argued.
Last week, Alexander <a href="https://twitter.com/officialJosh_A/status/1656761955728650241">tweeted</a> that Canadian authorities attempted to stop him from demonstrating against &#8220;the genocide of the unborn.&#8221;

Gabriel Sims-Fewer, the owner of The Anarchist, said in an expletive-filled <a href="https://theanarchist.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a> on the company’s website that he appreciated the opportunity to experiment with “living and working in ways that don&#8217;t enthusiastically embrace the pure misanthropy of capitalism.” He blamed the failure of his anti-capitalist business venture for the lack of “seed capital” from “ethically bankrupt sources,” which left him “unable to weather the quiet winter season, or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer-term.”
“The Anarchist has been a huge success in every way I hoped, and has given me so much inspiration and education that I plan to put to use in future projects,” he told his customers. “F*** the rich. F*** the police. F*** the state. F*** the colonial death camp we call ‘Canada.’ Solidarity.”
Sims-Fewer previously wrote on a frequently asked questions <a href="https://theanarchist.ca/faqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> that his “pay what you can” pricing scheme for drip coffee was meant to make coffee more affordable, admitting that the model gradually lost him money despite the hope that the losses would be counterbalanced by more expensive items. “I hate how everything in specialty coffee is so inaccessible to working class people, and inhospitable to everyone but the white upper middle class,” he had written on the website. “That&#8217;s also why I continue to scrutinise my prices and look for opportunities to lower them. Maybe when the shop has a couple more workers, allowing us to make significantly more drinks per day, we&#8217;ll be able to do an across-the-board price cut.”
The entrepreneur had also apologized for the fact that he is a “white, cisgender” man by noting that he is also “queer” and vowing to hiring people outside of his “particular intersection of privileges.”
“The best thing I think I can do is hire people who aren&#8217;t white, cisgender, heterosexual men, make them equal owners, and follow their lead in making the place less white-male-centered than the industry standard,” he had remarked. “That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m working towards.”
Beyond the apparent lack of access to capital faced by The Anarchist, businesses in Canada have been severely impacted by government lockdowns and vaccine mandates over the past three years. Sims-Fewer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CamzEyiONqY/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on the coffee shop’s social media last March that proof of vaccination would be required for dining in the restaurant. Other posts included a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4GqPAgjrm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">depiction</a> of police officers hung by the neck under the slogan “ACAB,” as well as a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cicwyp8gTF5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> which read “the queen was sh** and should have died sooner,” an ostensible reference to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who served as the monarch of Canada and other commonwealth realms.
The Anarchist is not the first small business founded on explicitly leftist principles to recently fail in spectacular fashion: Mina’s World, a coffee shop in Philadelphia known for its LGBTQ brand identity, shuttered last year after employees <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-coffee-shop-closes-down-after-insane-demands-from-even-more-woke-employees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revolted</a> against the owners and demanded that they “redistribute” the company and its resources. A social media page called the “Mina’s World Workers” started posting accusations against the ownership, claiming they had subjected workers to “manipulation, abuse of power, exploitation, anti-blackness, ableism,” and other charges summarized in a “List of Grievances.”

“Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives,” the statement said. “We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way.

The statement said the band was excited to see fans on the final tours and are furthermore “excited for what the future will bring for each of us.”
“Thank you for the last 27 years of Sum 41,” the statement concluded.
Fans reacted to the news in the comments.

Male members of Canada’s Parliament were mocked after parading around in hot pink heels to show their support for women victims of domestic abuse.
The tippy-toe parade, titled “Hope in High Heels,” was part of an effort by Halton Women’s Place, which helps abused women and their dependent children, to raise awareness of domestic abuse.
Halton Women’s Place has <a href="https://haltonwomensplace.com/hihh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written</a> of Hope in High Heels, “This was originally created as an avenue for men and boys to show support for women experiencing domestic violence by wearing hot pink heels. Now, Hope in High Heels has evolved and grown to include EVERYONE, of all ages and ability levels!”

Liberal MP Karina Gould brought Hope in High Heels to Canada’s Parliament in 2016. &#8220;The message is simple – we will not end violence against women and children if boys and men are not included in the conversation and part of the solution,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.insidehalton.com/news/burlington-mp-bringing-hope-in-high-heels-to-parliament-hill/article_79a1d82d-2926-5e54-ac11-98de0255d1a8.html?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in the House of Commons at the time. &#8220;Having this event in Ottawa encourages all Members of Parliament, Senators, and their staff to show Canadians that we are united in this fight.&#8221;

Trudeau appeared in a trailer for the show “Canada’s Drag Race” which had an episode titled “Canada vs. The World” premiering November 18. The show featured a grand prize of $100,000 and the title of &#8220;Canada&#8217;s Next Drag Superstar.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> authorities are searching for an unidentified person or organized crime group who stole more than $20 million worth of gold earlier this week in what some have labeled one of the biggest robberies in Canadian history.
According to the <a href="https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/major-gold-heist-at-pearson-movie-plot-turns-reality-in-gta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toronto Sun</a>, authorities initially said that an unknown person or group moved 3,600 pounds of the precious metal through the Pearson International Airport in the Toronto area of Canada, which customers around the world often use to move mined gold. The outlet reported that the airport handles 45% of Canada&#8217;s air cargo traffic from 175 countries worldwide.
Peel Regional Police told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-20/gold-heist-at-canada-s-biggest-airport-investigated-by-mounties?leadSource=uverify%20wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg News</a> that a plane carrying a container with more than C$20 million ($14.8 million) in gold and other &#8220;high-value goods&#8221; was taken from a cargo holding area of the airport.
&#8220;An aircraft arrived here at the airport in the early evening,&#8221; Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn <a href="https://www.cp24.com/news/20-million-in-gold-high-value-goods-stolen-in-heist-at-toronto-pearson-airport-1.6364365" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;As per normal procedure, the aircraft was unloaded, and cargo was transported from the aircraft to a holding cargo facility.&#8221;
&#8220;This is very rare,&#8221; Duivesteyn said, adding the gold was removed by &#8220;illegal means.&#8221;
The Sun reported authorities allegedly believe the movie-like heist was carried out locally and have launched an investigation into organized crime groups in the region, which has been known to have either people or allies placed at Pearson, monitoring airport activities.
The outlet said investigators don&#8217;t believe the gold was stolen to fund terrorists, asserting that authorities would have shut down portions of the airport as soon as they became aware of the robbery.
&#8220;We feel this to be an isolated incident,&#8221; Duivesteyn <a href="https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/04/20/toronto-pearson-airport-gold-heist-robbery-security-incident-rcmp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;For the public worried about flying out, there should be no concern. We do not consider this a threat to public safety.&#8221;

Investigators, however, do not know if someone stole the gold from the back of an employee&#8217;s pickup truck or smuggled it out of the country through various international flights.
Pearson International Airport has a history of gold heists, according to The Sun, dating back to 1952 when only four out of ten boxes showed up that were bound for Montreal. At least four other schemes took place at the airport, with one heist that saw $68.5 million worth of gold at the time, or about $164.6 million today.

A very thirsty <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> black bear broke into a woman&#8217;s car, damaging the vehicle and absolutely destroying several cases of soda that she had been storing inside the car.
Sharon Rosel, the car&#8217;s owner, said that the incident occurred on the night of April 13th — and she was alerted to the bear&#8217;s presence when her dogs began barking at 3 a.m., waking her. When she looked out the window, she saw that the bear had shattered her car window and was happily drinking the sodas, one can at a time.
Rosel <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/soda-car-bear-1.6812541" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) that, over the course of the next 90 minutes, the bear used its teeth to work its way through 69 cans of Orange Crush, root beer, and cola — and only slowed down when it got to the diet soda.
WATCH:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="#TheMoment a bandit bear quenches its thirst" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7sb3yyIY0-o?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Rosel went on to say that she had attempted to drive the bear off — first by throwing cold water on it from the balcony above, and then by alternately threatening it and attempting to reason with it.
&#8220;You could hear him, slurping it the whole time,&#8221; Rosel said, adding, &#8220;I explained to him how important the car was and that I had to go to work the next morning. That didn’t seem to affect him whatsoever.&#8221;
&#8220;Then I tried psyching him out by telling him I was a bear hunter. That didn&#8217;t do anything either, so I had to stand by and just watch him devour my car,&#8221; she continued.
In addition to drinking 69 of the 72 cans of soda Rosel was keeping in the car, the bear managed to break one of the window rollers and tear up the vehicle&#8217;s white leather interior. &#8220;Of course, white leather interior goes really good with orange Crush,&#8221; Rosel joked.

Noting that she had been raised around bears, she said that she had never known them to be able to smell soft drinks through the aluminum packaging.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been around bears since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I have never seen them go after pop,&#8221; she said.

More than one-third of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> federal employees went on strike as the nation’s public sector <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/unions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">union</a> failed to reach an agreement with government officials on wage <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increases</a>.
Some 155,000 members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada started to strike across the country on Wednesday, inducing fears of disrupted government services such as passports and tax services. The labor union represents nearly 230,000 workers, including 120,000 employed by the Treasury Board of Canada and 35,000 employed by the Canada Revenue Agency, while the federal government of Canada <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/human-resources-statistics/population-federal-public-service-department.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintained</a> a workforce of 335,000 individuals as of last year.
“We truly hoped we wouldn’t be forced to take strike action, but we’ve exhausted every other avenue to reach a fair contract for Canada’s Federal Public Service workers,” Public Service Alliance of Canada National President Chris Aylward said in a <a href="https://psacunion.ca/psac-announces-nationwide-general-strike-beginning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. “Now more than ever, workers need fair wages, good working conditions and inclusive workplaces. And it’s clear the only way we’ll achieve that is by taking strike action to show the government that workers can’t wait.”
Reporters in Canada shared video <a href="https://twitter.com/Kevin_Misener/status/1648663094187491328" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> of union members preparing to establish picket lines. The Public Service Alliance of Canada plans to create more than 250 picket lines across the country in what the group characterized as “one of the largest strikes” in the nation’s history.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada initially <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/news/2023/04/psacs-bargaining-demands-and-the-public-interest-commissions-path-to-a-settlement.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> a 4.5% wage increase over the course of three years, equivalent to a 13.5% overall increase. The government countered with a proposal of a 9% wage increase over three years and granted other demands from the Public Service Alliance of Canada, such as virtual work arrangements, shift premiums, improved paid leave for family-related matters, and a renewed emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
“The government has done everything it can to reach a deal and avoid disrupting the services that Canadians rely on,” the Treasury Board of Canada said in a <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/news/2023/04/the-government-responds-to-the-public-service-alliance-of-canadas-strike-action.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “Even though there is a competitive deal on the table, the PSAC continues to insist on demands that are unaffordable and would severely impact the government’s ability to deliver services to Canadians.”
Union officials have noted that pay hikes are needed to offset the inflationary pressures of the past several years. “The government of Canada recognizes the important contributions of public servants and will continue negotiations with the PSAC to reach an agreement quickly that would get needed wage increases into employees’ hands as soon as possible,” the statement from the Treasury Board of Canada acknowledged.

The strike in Canada occurs as demonstrators in France continue to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/activists-storm-blackrock-headquarters-in-paris-amid-pension-reform-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest</a> after President Emmanuel Macron overrode a provision of the nation’s constitution to advance a bill through Parliament that raised the retirement age from 62 to 64. Labor unions and other entities have organized nationwide strikes in response to the move, which Macron pursued amid concerns about the state retirement fund’s looming insolvency.
French protesters in recent weeks have stormed the headquarters of prominent corporations and vandalized government buildings. The pension reforms increased the retirement age for workers in more labor-intensive sectors from 57 to 59; sanitation workers therefore went on strike, causing several tons of trash to accumulate in the streets of Paris.

The lawyer for a Canadian father jailed for opposing his daughter&#8217;s gender transition has been sanctioned for speaking out about the shocking case, prompting his client to charge that his own rights to defend himself in court &#8220;do not exist.&#8221;
The Law Society of British Columbia, a regulator authorized by Canadian law, cited attorney Carey Linde for &#8220;professional misconduct&#8221; for doing media interviews about his client, the father of a girl who identifies as male. Linde is accused of violating one or more orders from judges, a &#8220;publication ban,&#8221; an &#8220;anonymity order,&#8221; and a &#8220;protection order,&#8221; the Society alleges.
The child&#8217;s father, whose identity was put under a publication ban by the Canadian court ostensibly to protect his child, told The Daily Wire the system is trying to punish his attorney to undermine his case.
&#8220;A big part of the defense will be exposing the BC Supreme court system and the many judges that were a part of my case,&#8221; the father said. &#8220;We feel that this case is so &#8216;politically&#8217; charged that my rights and any level of fairness in the court system do not exist.&#8221;
In interviews with &#8220;American media outlets&#8221; Linde discussed his client&#8217;s daughter&#8217;s gender identity, physical and mental health, treatments, and &#8220;personal information&#8221; without regard for the judge&#8217;s orders, the regulator claims. Both citations were issued in 2021, but the regulator is only now taking the next step in the disciplinary process.
A date will now be set for a disciplinary action hearing for Linde, who has been practicing law in British Columbia for over 50 years.
In 2018, the child&#8217;s father, a Vancouver postman, was <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/canadian-father-jailed-for-speaking-out-about-trans-identifying-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">informed</a> that a hospital would start administering cross-sex hormones to his child. Thanks to a recent <a href="https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/practice-areas/litigation/bc-court-of-appeal-finds-trans-teen-can-seek-hormone-treatment-without-parents-consent/325135#:~:text=In%20A.B.,to%20hormone%20treatment%20under%20s." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian law</a>, doctors may administer transgender drugs to children without parental consent.
Five years later, the dad is still fighting in the British Columbia Courts over the loss of his parental rights in the medical transitioning of his teen daughter.
After the dad spoke out against his child’s gender transition, he was arrested in March, 2021 and fined $30,000 for misgendering his daughter, who was 13 at the time. He was also charged with criminal contempt of court. He was initially denied bail and held in jail.
The father has incurred “enormous losses and expenses” over the ordeal and has been “dragged through a kind of legal hell,” according to his GoGetFunding <a href="https://gogetfunding.com/bc-father-fighting-medical-transitioning-of-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a>. The page has raised over $88,000 ($65,000 USD) as of Friday.
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh interviewed the Canadian dad for his documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is A Woman</a>,” released last year.
The dad told Walsh that his ex-wife brought their daughter to an appointment at British Columbia Children’s Hospital. The dad said he trusted the hospital to perform a thorough evaluation and thought, “good, this is going to be the end of it all. They’re going to clearly see that my child is not the opposite sex.”
He got a call less than an hour into that appointment, however, informing him that “they were going to pump her full of cross-sex hormones within the hour,” he said.
“And I put a halt to that. I said no,” the dad said. “They agreed to stop for the moment. They figured, well let’s get the dad on board too … I said it’s not going to happen.”
After that, the dad said he got a letter from the hospital in December 2018 saying that under British Columbia’s <a href="https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96223_01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Infants Act</a> the hospital would be starting his daughter on cross-sex hormones, and he had two weeks to respond with legal action if he chose to.
“So that’s how I ended up in court, because I did respond with legal action,” the dad said.
Meanwhile, he was publicly referring to his daughter as “she.” In Canada, it can be <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/features/canadas-gender-identity-rights-bill-c-16-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered</a> criminal violence to refuse to use someone’s preferred pronouns, the dad said, so he ended up in jail.
“It is no different than let’s say I were to take a broomstick and whack one of my kids over the head,” the dad said.
His daughter was still on cross-sex hormones as of Walsh’s interview.
The dad is back in court on May 31 to begin his appeal at the British Columbia Court of Appeal, he told The Daily Wire.
The dad said his legal team told him his case is a &#8220;priority&#8221; for the government of British Columbia and &#8220;they intend to win at all costs.&#8221;
