by Mark NeshtaIn the early spring of this year, my friend asked me a seemingly simple question: why doesn’t Ukraine just make peace with Russia – or conclude an armistice at least? Considering that Russia does not control any of these regions entirely, Ukraine would have not only relinquished its sovereignty but also withdrawn its troops if it was to make peace with Russia. We can conclude by quoting Oleksandra Matviichuck, head of the Ukrainian 2022 Nobel peace prize-winning Centre for Civil Liberties: «People of Ukraine want peace more than anyone else in the world. Simply folding to Russian demands would not give Ukraine a basis for a stable and sustainable peace and would not solve the Russo-Ukrainian conflict at large. For this reason, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s peace plan[18] calls the removal of Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine one of the main conditions for the termination of the war.

The TDSB’s decision reverses its previous stance on accommodations for 2SLGBTQ+ education, communicated in a memorandum to principals (2002). In response to a discriminatory Declaration of Parental and Family Rights, it affirmed human rights education prevents discrimination and that “no student can be exempted from Human Rights education.”In a TDSB Curriculum Resource Guide (2011), the board further explains that parents may not receive (i.e., religious) accommodations from the discussion of 2SLGBTQ+ issues because it violates Human Rights Policy: “Furthermore, this is consistent with the ideal that human rights education is an essential strategy for preventing human rights abuses.”Why did this position change during a moment when queer and trans children are acutely vulnerable? We read the TDSB’s softening on human rights education as a failure to protect 2SLGBTQ+ students. When school boards permit opting-out of human rights education, it sends a message that these rights are debatable. They cannot compromise their vision and mission to pressure from those whose beliefs trample on the human rights of vulnerable groups.

Former mayor John Tory revealed Wednesday he is endorsing Ana Bailão in Monday’s byelection, while Premier Doug Ford warned a Chow victory would be an “unmitigated disaster” for the city. In contrast to other politicians who have endorsed Bailão, the former mayor didn’t appear with her in front of reporters on Wednesday. The mayor of Toronto must be laser focused on what’s best for the city. But Ford said Wednesday that “businesses are going to be fleeing Toronto as far as I’m concerned. McKelvie was appointed to the deputy mayor position by Tory, and had also vowed to stay neutral in the race.

© Provided by National Post When Michelle Rempel Garner filed an access-to-Information claim for internal communications that produced that boilerplate nonsense ... well, it’s quite a scene, writes Chris Selley. Rempel Garner had some very specific questions : “What criteria (were) used to determine which projects were selected,” for example. Natural Resources Canada responded with boilerplate nonsense: “Canada is working with allies around the world to develop secure critical minerals value chains,” yadda yadda yadda. And when Rempel Garner filed an ATI claim for the internal communications that produced that boilerplate nonsense … well, it’s quite a scene. A separate order paper question, filed by Rempel Garner last month, might be more objectionable to the average Canadian.

Daigle, 61, a Commons guard — and a professional female boxer back before that was cool — was on the front lines during the 2014 Parliament Hill attack. On Wednesday, she clocked her final shift as a constable for the Parliamentary Protective Service after 20 years. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, got past RCMP outside then stormed into Centre Block. Daigle was stationed in the Hall of Honour, waiting for a French delegation that was due to arrive on Parliament Hill, just before the gunman charged through the front doors. It was that attack that led to the consolidation of three separate security forces — the House of Commons Security Service, Senate Protective Services and RCMP Parliament Hill unit — under the umbrella of the Parliamentary Protective Service.

Grupo Bimbo, a Mexican company that bought control of bakery wholesaler and distributor Canada Bread Co. Ltd. from Maple Leaf Foods Inc. in 2014, will pay a $50-million fine to settle allegations over Canada Bread‘s role in price fixing.

It’s not a uniform in the traditional sense, like a blazer, tie and pleated kilt. Recently, she told me one of her friends suggested she wear something different for a change. I explained to my daughter that wearing the same thing, or variations on the same look, is called uniform dressing. Von Furstenberg wanted to create something that could be worn anywhere, didn’t wrinkle and made it easy to get dressed — a uniform. For my daughter, the main selling point of her uniform is simple, and universal: She feels comfortable in it.
