Parents, detransitioners, medical critics and activists gathered on Parliament Hill for the “Kids in Crisis” event, calling for stronger protections for children, parental rights and true informed consent in Canada’s gender clinic system. Mayday Canada, which organized the event, also called for the repeal of Bill C-4 and Bill C-16, arguing the legislation has helped create a climate where parents, professionals and ordinary Canadians risk legal or professional consequences for questioning gender ideology or raising concerns about medical transition for minors. Oklahoma and Louisiana are moving to bring more transparency to unexplained child deaths by requiring coroners and medical examiners to document any vaccines given within 90 days before a child’s sudden, unexplained death. Oklahoma’s bill has already been signed into law, while Louisiana’s “A Voice for the Voiceless” bill passed the House 76–12. The US government is launching a major, multi-agency study of vaccine safety that will review the overall impact of the childhood vaccine schedule, compare the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, and examine possible links to autism and chronic disease. The effort is being led by biostatistician and vaccine safety expert Martin Kulldorff, with HHS saying the findings will help inform future vaccine recommendations. After public pressure, South Bruce Peninsula has repealed its unconstitutional anti-protest bylaw, which barred people from holding signs, wearing message-bearing clothing, or even silently protesting in public spaces without government permission. The bylaw was flagged by the Canadian Constitution Foundation as one of Canada’s most censorious municipal rules—and now it’s gone. Ralph Baric, a University of North Carolina coronavirus scientist whose lab garnered over $200 million in federal grants and sat near the centre of gain-of-function and COVID-origin questions, is suddenly retiring—right as HHS moves to suspend and potentially debar him from federal funding over an alleged “pattern of deception.” After years of “trust the science,” one of the most protected names in pandemic science is quietly being shown the door. The Democracy Fund has launched the first known independent forensic investigation into the wave of arson and vandalism targeting places of worship. Since May 2021, approximately 120 churches across Canada have been burned, vandalized, or desecrated—most of which remain unresolved. The forensic investigation is being led by a certified fire investigator. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that US federal agencies will shift mental healthcare away from reflexive, pill-first treatment and toward informed consent, shared doctor-patient decision-making, and non-drug supports such as therapy, sleep care, exercise, nutrition and social connection. New Jersey residents just stopped a resource-hungry 1.6 million sq ft data centre in its tracks. After locals raised concerns that a developer was trying to quietly push through a massive data centre in Monroe Township, NJ, that would drain water, strain the power grid, raise costs and harm the environment, council listened and blocked the build. Barry Neufield, the former Chilliwack school trustee who was ordered to pay $750,000 after the BC Human Rights Tribunal ruled that his public comments opposing gender ideology promotion in schools constituted “hate speech,” has announced that he intends to fight the fines. He also declared he will stand firm against gender ideology, saying conversations with detransitioners have only strengthened his conviction that youth gender transitions amount to child abuse. People over poison won the day: a bipartisan US House vote struck pesticide-maker immunity language from the Farm Bill, rejecting protections that would have made it harder for families to sue chemical companies over pesticide harms. Two Ontario teachers are taking their case to the Ontario Labour Relations Board after saying they were fired for refusing to celebrate and affirm LGBTQ issues—and then denied a chance to make their Charter arguments when their union wouldn’t advance their grievances. Matt Alexander says he was suspended over social media posts he never made public, while Nicole Alexander was suspended after quietly placing a Pride poster into a classroom cabinet after it had been taped to her door without her consent. Their case could help clarify whether unionized public employees can be blocked from defending freedom of conscience, religion, and expression when their own union refuses to represent them. Tamara Lich is taking her fight from the criminal courtroom to the civil courts, filing a lawsuit alleging malicious prosecution and negligent investigation over her role in the Freedom Convoy. After being dragged through what she calls the “longest mischief trial” in Canadian history for helping organize a peaceful protest against vaccine passports and pandemic restrictions, Lich says the case is no longer just about clearing her name—it is about stopping government abuse from happening again. Honda has indefinitely suspended its planned $15-billion EV mega-project in Ontario, with full cancellation reportedly still under consideration. After politicians hailed the project as a landmark victory for the “green revolution,” the pause is a rare win for taxpayers: Canadians dodged a massive subsidy gamble before the cheque cleared.
