World’s smallest violin over a European bureaucrat feeding on and perpetuating an antisemitic Lost Cause having his money pipe cut off.

Alberta curbs child transition

Quote:

Alberta will prohibit hormonal treatment, puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery for children 15 years and younger, Premier Danielle Smith announced Wednesday in a video posted to social media.

Top and bottom gender reassignment surgeries will be banned for minors aged 17, though bottom surgery is already limited to adults.

Teens aged 16 and 17 can start hormone therapy as long as they have permission from their parents, a physician and a psychologist.

In the almost two years since Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine has recaptured 54 percent of occupied territory, while Russia still occupies 18 percent of the country. Ukraine's 2023 offensive has achieved minor territorial gains, but the frontlines have remained stable for almost a year.

The situation in Ukraine is tough. These people need help and support. I've recently looked through the projects created to help the Ukrainian military forces and paramedics and discovered CarToDonate. I was surprised by how these people stay strong and do their best to help each other. It seems that common suffering really unites more than common joys.
I couldn't believe that such a barbarian invasion happened in the 21st century.

President Biden leaning into the memes about him is kind of cool, in my opinion.

The immigrants most valuable to the Canadian economy are now the most likely to leave

Quote:

Individuals with high incomes and education levels are among the most likely to leave Canada after immigrating here. Specifically, immigrants who have a doctorate (PhD) upon arrival have a one in three chance of leaving within 20 years, while those with a master’s degree have a 29 percent chance of emigration. Altogether, the most highly educated immigrants are about twice as likely to leave Canada as those with a high school education or less. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree are more likely to stay than those with advanced degrees, but there’s still a one in five chance they’ll leave within two decades.

While calling me "valuable to the economy" (not to mention "high income") is a huge stretch, my family seems to be illustrative of this trend. My parents came to this country with PhDs and I've left it with one. Buh bye.

I only realized how addicted I am to the Post's headlines when they disappeared from my instagram feed for the three weeks I've been to Canada now because of some stupid law where you can't get news on Meta. The Post has the last laugh though because Canada is one big Post headline these days. Canada in 2024 really is "what if a NY Post headline was a country."
