A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.

“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats.

The suspect, Medhat Darwish, 56, appeared before Quebec Court Judge Tristan Desjardins on Wednesday at the Montreal courthouse.

He was charged with attempted murder through an attack using a hammer, aggravated assault and assaulting police officers.

Police are also considering whether the attack could be an “honour crime,” a source familiar with the case told The Gazette, as first reported by Le Journal de Montréal.

Darwish runs the Centre Samourai Koryukan martial arts school in Lachine, according to Quebec’s business registry.

Unexpectedly

The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May, blowing past expectations, according to the government’s closely watched jobs report. The unemployment rate remained flat at 4.3%.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had anticipated payroll growth of 88,000 for the month.

April’s jobs report — which itself was a massive beat — was also revised to show an even better 179,000 jobs gained, compared to the 115,000 reported earlier. March’s payroll growth was similarly updated to show 214,000, bringing the first monthly gain above 200,000 since early 2024.

New Massa, Same As The Old Massa

Prime Minister Mark Carney said the Trump administration’s latest threat of tariffs following an investigation into forced labour supply chains is “not a surprise” and that Canada supports the overall objective of ending the practice of forced labour.

Speaking on Wednesday, Carney also hinted his government will soon be proposing more stringent measures to better halt the importation of these slave-made goods into Canada.

“Canada has a very strong legislative regime against forced labour in supply chains,” he said. “We don’t want any element of forced labour coming in goods and services, and we want to use our influence to eliminate this practice of forced labour and child labour.”

“The homeless are not who they used to be”.

“…our longtime listeners will remember that we talked when we were still living in Portland about the the the new injunction that we should all really be doing was carrying Narcan around because if we find someone who’s overdosed, what we need to do is bring them back to life. So to do what? To you know to overdose again and again and again and again like this is now our responsibility to simply keep those who cannot be bothered to try to keep themselves alive. And what about the rest of us who are actually trying to live productive and useful lives?”

Trust The Science

US Dept of Justice;

According to the criminal complaint, Vincent Munster, a citizen of the Netherlands, 53, is the Chief of the Virus Ecology Section, Laboratory of Virology at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton, Montana. Claude Kwe, a citizen of Cameroon, 38, is a research fellow in Munster’s section. The work of both men is focused on “emerging viral pathogens” and how those pathogens “cross the species barrier.” They work at a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory, which employs the highest level of biosafety precautions for scientific research of known and potential human pathogens.

On January 25, 2026, Munster and Kwe arrived at the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with travel originating from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, where an outbreak of monkeypox was occurring. Monkeypox is an infectious virus that can result in painful rash, enlarged lymph nodes, fevers and other ailments.

Munster and Kwe were inspected and interviewed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials upon their arrival. CBP officers observed Kwe and Munster traveling with a large black plastic case. Munster and Kwe falsely told CBP officers that the black case contained diagnostics and testing equipment. But subsequent investigation by CBP and FBI agents revealed that the case actually contained 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers. As of the date of the complaint, the FBI has tested 20 of the 113 vials. Seventeen of them contained deactivated monkeypox virus, one contained the Chickenpox virus, and two contained only human DNA.
