Statement by the Prime Minister on World Press Freedom Day

Guest Contributor

“Today, we express our gratitude to the journalists who continue to report the facts, give a voice to the voiceless, and often put themselves at risk to deliver timely and accurate information to the world, including those covering Russia’s ongoing, brutal invasion of Ukraine. We stand in solidarity with journalists in Iran who are facing brutal repression and severe restrictions for covering the Iranian regime’s crackdowns on protests. We also recognize the brave work of journalists in Sudan and other conflict areas around the world, who are keeping the world updated on conflicts and the horrifying impacts they are having on people.

Who are Ted & Sally? The reason for the fake names

Guest Contributor

Last month, I told you about a Saskatoon couple I called Ted and Sally. He’s been a trucker for 40 years, and she’s been a trucker’s wife for nearly as long. They joined the Freedom Convoy in late January 2022 and, from day one, she streamed Facebook Live videos from the cab of their truck.

These videos allowed friends and family to ride along, to witness in real time the incredible enthusiasm with which ordinary Canadians responded to the Convoy. Today, they are an important, permanent record of what took place.

1526 scientists declare: “There is no climate emergency”

Guest Contributor

A global network of over 1501 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

What Kind of Man Are You?

Guest Contributor

A few minutes later, he says, the cops came to the door and told him he was facing a $50,000 fine. When he asked an officer if he had kids, the response was “What does that have to do with this? You broke the law, we have a limit, and you’ve passed it.”

A few moments later, after the officer admitted he was, indeed, a father, Mike explained: ‘I have a little six-year-old lying in the chapel, and the family needs to see him. They need to say goodbye.”

City “kept a tight grip on who could operate in the taxi industry” says Conway opening statement

Guest Contributor

A significant part of the regulatory history in the taxi industry is that the City has consistently

tightly controlled who can participate in the industry. Only licensed brokers, plate owners, and

licensed drivers could operate legally in the industry.

The City prohibited anyone else from doing so. For years, the City enforced the by-laws to stop

what it called, “bandit cabs,” and unlicensed brokers from operating. The City investigated these

unlawful operators, charged them, and ensured that the illegal taxi services were stopped. In

many instances, the City’s enforcement efforts were done in cooperation with members in the

taxi industry. Up until 2014, the City kept a tight grip on who could operate in the taxi industry
and made sure that any illegal activity was stopped.
