Jonathon looks at the ruling by a Quebec judge against former tourism minister Caroline Proulx. She has to personally pay $30,000 to Harvest Ministries International after she illegally canceled their event over its pro-life views.

Next, Jonathon looks at an Edmonton Police social media post that offers a glimpse into how some law enforcement view speech in light of the Liberal government's push for legislation like Bill C-9.

Jonathon looks at a CBC report claiming that Canadians are "becoming less accepting of gender diversity" - and explains why the state broadcaster's framing is very misleading.

Second, Jonathon looks at BC Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay's video portraying Premier David Eby as an extremist.

CLARIFICATION:

The Bridgehead’s original episode published on Thursday, August 27th included a short segment claiming that Wayne Bernakevitch is an LGBT activist. He is not. We have removed segments from this episode making that claim and have done so as soon as we found out about this mistake.

The CBC seem to have deliberately paraphrased Bernakevitch’s comments to paint the picture they wanted to portray in their article. 

The point Bernakevitch seems to have made in his original interview was that the coverage of gender diversity is a big distraction from the main issues that young people care about. But it is impossible to tell because it seems the original radio interview was selectively edited to make a point as well.

The Regina Civic Awareness Action Network and Wayne Bernakevitch are in favour of Premier Scott Moe’s Parent’s Bill of Rights. Bernakevitch was taken out of context to prove the CBC’s point. We sincerely apologize to Wayne Bernakevitch and our listeners for the mistake made on our part.

You can find the original interview here, where Bernakevitch begins around the 9:17 mark: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-189-blue-sky/clip/16231633-stats-canada-data-says-canada-becoming-less-accepting

Jonathon covers the story of Canadian progressive Kaitlyn Tracey, who assaulted a pro-Trump teenage girl and is now facing deportation from I.C.E. after being found in the US illegally. 

Second, a judge rules that a violent male serial sex offender who identifies as transgender cannot be transferred to a women’s prison - but leaves the door open to it in the future. 

Finally, Jonathon looks at the lawsuit by a same-sex couple against a surrogate mother who refused their demand to abort their son at 22 weeks over a cleft lip and minor birth defect. They are seeking an outrageous $600,000 in damages.

As the UK's rape gang inquiry exposes decades of systematic abuse, Tucker Carlson and allies are pushing revisionist history — whitewashing Islam's long record of persecuting Christians while redirecting blame toward Israel. We trace the historical thread from Ottoman enslavement of Christian boys and women to today's grooming gangs, and examine why this deliberate cover-up is so dangerous.

Jonathon looks at why the Liberals can't be trusted when it comes to the passage of Bill C-9 and their removal of the "good faith" religious exemption. Pride has become Canada's new religion.

Jonathon discusses the pride flag ceremony on Parliament Hill led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, and how members of the Liberal Party responded to MP Vincent Ho's simple question in committee about what a woman is.

#MarkCarney #BillC-9 #LiberalParty

Jonathon breaks down some of the reasons why genuine Conservatism seems so rare in Canada - and why the robust debates taking place elsewhere doesn't happen here.

Second, Jonathon looks at the next frontier of the sexual revolution: polyamory. He dissects two nearly identical newspieces - one from CTV and the other from Canadian Affairs, demonstrating the push to normalize polyamorous relationships.
