Parents should be consulted on social transitioning for under-16s, a Canadian province has decided. New Brunswick has rolled back controversial legislation that forced schools to allow students under the age of 16 to officially self-ID their gender without parental permission. In May, a poll for think tank SecondStreet.org found that 57 per cent of Canadians surveyed agreed schools should tell parents if their child wished to change gender or pronouns. The school said it has “socially transitioned” her daughter in line with its Equality, Inclusion and Diversity policy. A Bayswater spokeswoman said: “Parents tell us that when they try to engage constructively with schools, it is often implied that they are a risk to their own children.”

Olivia Chow’s first day as mayor of Toronto kicked off with literal bells and whistles as dozens of cyclists accompanied her on a ride to City Hall Wednesday morning. While Wednesday’s ride was in many ways a celebration, it was also a reminder of the pressure that Chow will feel as mayor to prioritize active transportation. “Cycling infrastructure in Toronto needs a lot of work,” said Derek Lind, who joined the ride with his son Cameron, 11. City councillors Paula Fletcher (Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth), Diane Saxe (Ward 11, University-Rosedale), and 2022 mayoral contender Gil Penalosa joined Chow on the morning ride. “I’ve ridden many times with you Olivia, but today, on the first official day of you being sworn in as mayor is the most exciting ride I’ve had ever with you,” Fletcher said.

Naturally I’m not referring to Toronto Star subscribers. Solely online, I like historian Adam Tooze, feminist journalist Caroline Criado Perez and novelist Gary Shteyngart on Substack. You, who work elsewhere, don’t need all this — you have productive daily lives thick with interest — but some publications are a pleasure, an essence. You need to read sane, trustworthy reporting. If you don’t have big knowledge of your city via big journalism, you can’t live in Toronto successfully.
