Jonathon looks at CSIS’s celebration of Pride and the implications for ordinary Canadians, especially with CSIS’s stance on things like parental rights protests in Canada.

He then turns to the US State Department’s reproach of the United Kingdom for arresting peaceful pro-life protestors, simply for praying silently outside abortion clinics.

Lastly, Jonathon discusses the U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ condemnation of euthanasia for the second time this year - of France - for their controversial euthanasia policies.

Jonathon looks at Pierre Poilievre’s recent landslide victory in Alberta’s by-election, where he secured over 80% of the vote despite significant opposition.

The discussion covers his socially conservative constituency, his stance on immigration, Canadian nationalism, and the implications of his new position as a member of Parliament for the conservative stronghold of Battle River Crowfoot.

We explore how his new responsibilities might shape his policies and influence the broader conservative agenda in Canada.

Jonathon looks at the removal of the “Let Kids Be” billboard in Hamilton, Ontario, for being “transphobic,” and the growing trend of censorship across Canada. 

From the removal of ARPA’s “Let Kids Be” billboard, to CHP’s billboard depicting the dictionary definition of “woman,” to a billboard in BC proclaiming love for JK Rowling, to a billboard making a factual statement about abortion in Canada, freedom of speech appears to be dwindling.

Jonathon also covers the viral moment of Prime Minister Mark Carney hugging a nearly-naked man at Vancouver Pride, and what it reveals about the current political climate.

Jonathon looks at the changes to Nexus gender policy and the reporting methods of CTV News in covering the story.

Then he covers a shocking story from Brazil, where a women’s rights activist is facing up to 25 years in prison after “misgendering” a man. In an odd turn of events, she received asylum in the EU.

Finally, Jonathon covers the two-tiered Canadian justice system with a focus on the Crown’s attempted prosecution of Tamara Lich.

Sean Feucht, an American Christian singer, has faced backlash and cancellations amidst his Canada summer tour, raising questions about freedom of expression for christians in public spaces. Jonathon breaks provides an analysis.

We then transition to a rare unanimous ruling from Canada’s Supreme Court, which upheld the country’s prohibition on pimping and purchasing of sex, affirming the Nordic model’s approach to protecting vulnerable women from exploitation.

This ruling reaffirms Canada’s commitment from the Harper era to combat human trafficking and exploitation in the sex trade.

#moderndating #redpill #christiandating

Texas father Jeff Younger shares his harrowing experience as his ex-wife transitions their son against his wishes. For over a decade, Younger has battled to save his child from so-called 'transgender medicine' practices, facing legal and personal hurdles.

He also discusses broader issues of gender ideology, its impact on society, and the role of state and federal government (including Republicans!) in these matters.

Key topics covered include the role of professional bodies, the infiltration of gender ideology, the lack of effective legislation, and the personal toll of his fight.
