Your money at work, people. You wonder at the disdain so many conservatives feel for academics and the ivory tower leftist university grads who infest public agencies and public sector boards and bureaus? Look no further than the half-witted mouth breathers who put this report together. The Public Health Agency, lest we forget, is the agency which allowed stockpiles of PPE gear to expire, threw them away and never replaced them, which replaced scientists with bureaucrats, and which foresaw nothing involving the covid mess. A new Health Canada report suggests public health officials should be openly advocating for the toppling of capitalism, Western society and even the very concept of “liberty and individualism” “Fundamental changes in our socioeconomic structures are needed to rebuild our relationships with each other and with our planet,” reads the conclusion of the April 17 report prepared for chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam. The paper — written by three authors who “identify as white settlers” — also recommended that Canadian public health actions should focus on “decolonization, justice and equity” above all. The 72-page report, What We Heard: Perspectives on Climate Change and Public Health in Canada, was commissioned to detail the “impacts of climate change on the health and well-being of people living in Canada.” The authors surveyed 30 academics and public health experts for their input. “Collectively, we have a deep appreciation for Indigenous Peoples’ close and continuing relationship to the land and waters that we live upon and we are committed to a lifelong learning journey toward becoming good guests here,” reads an opening statement. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/public-health-agency-of-canada-report-calls-for-toppling-of-capitalism-liberty

I don't think anyone really cares what adults do with their bodies. As long as it doesn't involve unfairness towards women from male-bodied individuals.

Sure. But they won't. Because at heart they're Liberals too, and generally support what the Liberal party supports.

It's not that they don't cover stories. It's how they cover them and how much they cover them. They seem to have devoted far less effort to covering the China influence thing, for example, than any of their rivals. And in elections, they clearly have a liberal bias. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tom-mulcair-why-all-the-fuss-about-twitter-s-description-of-cbc-1.6360448

The government appoints all sorts of boards that are technically 'independent' but not really. They simply make sure to appoint their friends and allies to the position. Much like Trudeau and his 'independent' rapporteur'.

The issue would also be if this was part of the institution moving in a new direction. Which is what would be needed. As well, many positions could simply be made redundant as there is an awful lot of deadwood and bureaucracy there. Doug Ford has no balls or spine. The media made a fuss and he backed down and ran away. He's hardly the right example. Someone like Mike Harris would do it in a second. In fact, Mike Harris would already have slashed the size of the bloated Ontario public sector by thousands of jobs.

But no one has said there are ethics issues with the research, only that they don't like the results. Note the following. City found following an investigation that there was “no evidence” that the research breached any ethics criteria.

When an employee is terminated without cause, it means they are being let go, but not for significant workplace misconduct (otherwise known as a termination “for cause“). The reasons behind a termination without cause may include restructuring, cost cutting, realignment, or poor work performance. A company can also let you go simply because they don’t like you. As long as the reason for the termination or lay off is not discriminatory, it is completely legal for the employer to terminate your employment. https://stlawyers.ca/law-essentials/termination-without-cause/

I disagree. All it takes is a hard-nosed attitude. Fire the more openly biased 'faces', and impose a sense of non-partisanship on the news and political affairs department, or whatever they're calling it. Then hire some creative talent that doesn't live in Toronto. Maybe even consider what the people outside Toronto might like to see in the form of entertainment. Fire anyone who objects to this. Fire anyone who stands in the way. Whether they're bureaucrats, producers or 'talent. Cut back on the number of bureaucrats. Way back. And prioritize local news. I can assure you that CTV sucks at that (and at national news for that matter). In fact, most of Canada's media suck at news. I include Postmedia in that. Their papers are a shadow of what they once were due to cost cutting. Global does a good job of covering local news. Way better than the CBC or CTV. See what they do and imitate it.

They should never have sued the tories. And if they were going to do so during an election they shouldn't have put their newsreaders/moderators names on the suit. The Conservative outrage was magnified when she was selected as one of the moderators for the election debate.

I'd have no problem if I was ever wrong. But of course, I have very little experience there. Maybe you should ask OftenWrong.

In my admittedly limited experience, D cups are NEVER 'perky'.

Here's a pretty good one. A university has “confiscated” the findings of an academic studying Britain’s gender wars in a row over her “dangerous” research data, The Telegraph can reveal. Dr Laura Favaro began the first ever taxpayer-funded study into whether social scientists at universities feel censored over their views on transgender issues in March 2020 at City, University of London. But it has descended into chaos, with the study’s author allegedly hounded out of the university, stripped of the findings she collected and barred from publishing them amid claims of transphobia. https://archive.is/VSxIx

Do you honestly think this person would have been hired for any other reason than being trans?

Those 'trained medical professionals' have forfeited the right to be trusted without severe government regulations in place to guide them,

Do you honestly think any religion today is an exact mirror of what was originally written down two thousand years ago through multiple translations?

The problem is that segments of the medical profession involved in this have not behaved with professionalism. The ideology has overtaken them and the view that those who say they are the wrong gender should not be questioned or disbelieved has taken over. In schools, children are accepted for their new gender and even assisted with hiding this from parents. One even provided breast binders to a young girl who thought herself a boy. Doctors have enthusiastically embraced instant acceptance of children's beliefs and treated them without the proper referrals to psychiatrists/psychologists for careful evaluation. We're leaving it up to kids we don't trust to drive or vote to make what could be life-changing decisions they don't properly understand the consequences of. And too many parents have been swept up in the ideology, as well, especially after being told by the 'experts' to not question their child's belief in their new gender.

I don't think all those children swept up in a fad and being given drugs and surgery by adults swept up by ideology is something to simply smile and wave at in hopes it goes away. People's lives are being ruined by this. It's more than a little more serious than hippies with long hair. And then they grew up. And still had their body parts intact.

You prefer they be taught nothing?

Do you know the origin? Progressives originally believed in eugenics to purify the gene pool. In other words, every idea progressives have is right? Every policy they advocate is always correct and will always succeed?

Everyone on the Left says the same thing about the culture war. They're side is blessed by God and shall prevail. Not that they believe in God, of course. Personally, I think that in time the world will look back at this transgender nonsense the same way they now do the satanic child abuse hysteria over preschools back in the 80s. A majority of Americans favor protecting transgender people from discrimination, but a rising share say a person's gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth, and most support trans sports bans, a new poll from the Pew Research Center found. The survey of more than 10,000 adults, which was conducted May 16-22 and published Tuesday, found that 60% say a person's gender is determined at birth, up from 56% in 2021 and 54% in 2017. Half the US votes Republican. And perhaps I'm wrong but I'd suggest more of them are beer drinkers than in the other half. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/rising-share-americans-say-gender-determined-birth-assigned-sex-poll-f-rcna35560

You think those people who vote Republican will cheer on such a move? This is like all the trouble Disney has brought down on itself for getting involved in the culture war in Florida.

Transgender people? I think the more notable fact is that by doing this they have identified themselves firmly and proudly on one side of the culture wars. Which seems to me to be wildly against their own best interests. Why take a side and p1ss off half your potential customers?

You forgot HOW he was defeated. The Liberals (!) basically did a scaremongering campaign which had the government funding Islamist religious schools which would raise a generation of suicide bombers.
