“We’re coming for your children!” chant sparks backlash at Toronto Pride parade

Another wrote, “It’s been obvious for years,” while a third said, “Coming for them? I think they’ve already got them.” Keep Reading
Newfoundland backs down on kids’ medical records following Juno report
Newfoundland’s premier is reversing a policy denying parents access to their children’s medical records under a new health information system, marking a win for parents and parental rights advocates.

The figure marks a 0.5 percentage point drop from the previous year and a longer-term reduction of 7.3 percentage points since 2010. However, the remaining level of overseas ownership raises ongoing concerns about Canadian economic sovereignty, particularly in manufacturing, natural resources and key financial activities.
