While other countries have changed course in their approach to "gender medicine" for minors, Canada forges on. Countless reports have shown that the “science” behind “gender medicine” for youth is bunk, and that these treatments are destructive, experimental, and cause permanent harm—leading to sterilization and numerous other health impacts. This all continues to be ignored by the media and the government. Why? In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mia Hughes , the author of The WPATH File...

On April 16, the UK Supreme Court handed down a judgement determining that the terms “man," “woman,” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex (not gender identity). After years of fighting for the return of women’s sex-based rights, the group For Women Scotland succeeded in winning their case brought against the Scottish Ministers. Going forward, a man identifying as a “woman” or a “transwoman,” even with a gender recognition certificate (GRC), will not be considered female und...

In May 2021, the CBC reported that the remains of 215 children had been discovered at the former site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia.

In 2018, Maxime Bernier left the Conservative Party to start the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). The party took on that which almost none other would: the Covid lockdowns and mandates, gender identity ideology, climate change hysteria, DEI, authoritarian hate speech laws, and more. The PPC more closely resembles the populist, freedom-oriented option many Canadians are desperate for, in a sea of parties that often feel barely different from one another. Challenging the woke agenda, as well ...
