A few comments about the latest travesty of Canadian lawmakers to criminalize conversion therapy while at the same time make sure there is conversion therapy for those confused about which sex they are.

Yes, the sports viewing or sports going public has every right to know if the athletes are competing in good faith. One of the biggest outrages is the recent lack of disclosure by Canadian sports officials and the media that women's archery competitor Stephanie Barrett is in fact a man. It was completely absent in recent coverage of this individual, who did not make it to the Olympic finals, by the way. It doesn't stop with men like Barrett, either, as it also includes so-called intersex males. Men competing in women's sports make a mockery out of said sports, and they need to be barred regardless of whether they think they are women, trying to impersonate women, or have alleged medical conditions. Cheating is cheating.

You are not kidding this particular and controversial "graphic novel" is completely inappropriate for minors. The book never should have been published in the first place. Furthermore, it is against the law for pornography to be distributed to minors.
I am not sure if the author is in fact female, but if I am wrong, I am sure somebody will correct me.

In the current chapter of the NYT vs. activists saga, the union goes woke, but many of the senior writers support the professional standards of journalism. We will see who wins.

Enough with unqualified celebrities running for high-level public office.
Update 4/23/2021: It didn't stop Jenner from announcing the bid for the governorship of California. I have a better chance of winning there, and I don't even live in the state.

#JordanPeterson
Canadian psychologist/author Jordan Peterson is the classic case of somebody who can dish it out, but he can't take it. He is contemplating leaving Twitter for good after getting a rash of criticisms over his insulting remarks about a "plus-size" Sports Illustrated model. It is particularly galling when JBP himself looks like buzzard bait. We can only hope he makes good on his threat.
