The Yogyakarta Principles: the push for comprehensive sex "education" in public schools

Have you heard of The Yogyakarta Principles? Probably not. Most people haven't. But parents should be aware of what they are because the comprehensive sex "education" that has invaded every local public school in the West has been influenced by The Yogyakarta Principles. They have been presented and discussed at the United Nations in past meetings. Sexual activists want to see the Yogyakarta Principles approved by the United Nations so that they are backed by Western governments. The activists want to see them become sexual "rights."

The Principles essentially push for human "rights" in the areas of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Principles were first released at an international meeting held in 2006 at Yogyakarta, Indonesia where they get their name.

Singer Aretha Franklin died this month. She is often described as the Queen of Soul. Her longtime friend and singer Sam More said about her passing, "I adored her and I know the feelings were mutual.

Ontario parents should now participate in developing a bill of rights

Ontarians elected a majority Conservative government led by Doug Ford this past June. One promise was to repeal the radical sex-curriculum introduced by the Wynne Liberal government in 2015. His government has done that, but there are voices of opposition. As the new school year begins, school boards and teachers have been instructed to return to the 1998 curriculum. Parents need to be aware of this and not let those who disagree mislead them.

Toronto murders and violence: just the new norm in post-modern life

We have had hundreds of shootings and killings in Toronto so far this year. Sixty-one people have been murdered, and it's only August. We still have five months to go before the 2018 comes to an end. Violence and homicides on city streets have increased. The politicians always offer the same solutions but little of substance is done: guns are too readily available; we need to have stricter guns laws and more police officers.

Politicians in general don't have a great reputation, and because of this, the good ones are too often forgotten in the mix.

She has been member of the Senate of Canada since 2012. She was appointed by Steven Harper. She will retire this month.

Last year, Canada celebrated its 150th birthday of nationhood.

Doctor destroys the abusive lie of transgenderism

Canada's Liberal government headed by Justin Trudeau introduced legislation on May 17, 2016, that received Royal Assent on June 19, 2017. It's a terrible law. It's known as Bill C-16, an Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. What the law does is to legally protect gender expression and gender identity. Canadians who question gender ideology can be charged with hate speech and end up with a criminal record, as well as time in jail.
