Your turn, Poilievre.

President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday pledged to “stop the transgender lunacy” on day one of his presidency, as Republicans — set to control both chambers of Congress and the White House — continue their push against LGBTQ rights.

“I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools,” the president-elect said at an event for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona.

He also vowed to “keep men out of women’s sports,” adding that “it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”

Robbie Starbuck strikes again; Walmart is ending their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what’s changing and how it happened.

Regulating The Regulators

There’s no point whining about the left’s capture of institutions if you’re not prepared to take them back.

The Alberta government has proposed a review of professional regulatory bodies and how to better protect the right to free expression. In a video announcing the review, to be followed by new legislation next year, Premier Smith said, “What a doctor or lawyer believes or says about politics or religion is not a reflection of their competency to practice medicine or law.”

We don’t have details yet about what this review or legislation will look like, but Premier Smith is absolutely correct to be concerned with the expanded claims by professional regulators to police the off-duty and non-practice related speech of their members. To be clear, these proposals are not restricting the power of regulators to discipline doctors who claim vaccines contain 5G microchips, or accountants who sexually harass clients, or lawyers who hire private surveillance to stalk judges in their cases. This is about regulators claiming authority to silence the political, cultural, social, and religious opinions of their members.

I’ve written extensively on the topic of free speech and professional regulation, including in a paper published by the MacDonald Laurier Institute. Every Canadian has a constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression, including those in regulated professions. Many Canadians are part of regulated professions and have felt the chill of saying things that may be unpopular, even when unrelated to their professional work as a doctor, lawyer, nurse, or accountant.

This is an essential legislative step that needs to be duplicated here, and it needs some teeth: high dollar penalties for regulators that abuse their power, and restitution to the wrongly targeted.

“A University of Oregon official has been placed on administrative leave…”

Sorry laddie, we didn’t make the new rules. But those are the new rules.

Breathe deeply and savor the musky scent of broken leftist dreams. Mmmmmmm. Smells like freedom! Now, we must get busy pummeling our enemies. Some silly people will say that you shouldn’t kick an opponent when he’s down. That’s actually the best time to kick him.

“the Board of Directors of SIGA Technologies terminated Dr. Jay Varma, effective immediately”

Sorry guys. We didn’t make the new rules, but those are the new rules.

“Varma boasted about harassing people into submission over the vaccine mandate and admitted to participating in illegal sex parties, all while he, former Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi, and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio imposed draconian measures that shut down the entire city,” the Queens Democrat said.

“The hypocrisy is outrageous.”

Varma’s seamy chats — which included him boasting, “I did all this deviant, like sexual stuff,” and, “I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city” — were made public last week by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

“It’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation. … The public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination [attempt] came to be.”
