3 individuals in Toronto rob a guitar-playing busker 😯



Biggest average year-over-year residential price drops (Feb 2025-Feb 2026) Peterborough -16.1% Woodstock -9.8% Peel -9.6% Niagara -8.4% Fraser Valley -8.1% Barrie/Simcoe -7.6% Toronto -7.2% Waterloo -7.1%





Worst January on record for Toronto new home sales, following its worst year on record in 2025. This is an extinction level event for many developers.







Former public school trustee Barry Neufeld has been ordered to pay $750,000 after the BC Human Rights Tribunal ruled his public criticism of SOGI 123 and gender identity teachings violated the Human Rights Code. Punishing debate about what schools teach children with crushing fines sends a chilling message to parents and elected officials who question government policy. abbynews.com/2026/02/19/for…

Enough is enough. What is happening in our schools is not “inclusion.” It is ideological capture. It is the state telling parents to step aside while activists experiment on their children’s moral foundation. Let me say this as plainly as possible: no government, no school board, no tribunal has the authority to override parents when it comes to the moral formation of their children. None. SOGI was sold as an anti-bullying tool. That was the sales pitch. But what it has become is something very different, it has become a vehicle for embedding a highly contested worldview about sex and identity directly into classrooms, while silencing anyone who questions it. And now we are told that simply affirming biological reality can be framed as “harm.” That dissent is “discrimination.” That disagreement is “hate.” When free speech is redefined so narrowly that only one viewpoint is considered acceptable, you no longer have inclusion, this has become about ideological enforcement. If trustees, parents, or citizens risk financial ruin for speaking against government-backed social theory, then this isn’t about protecting children. It’s about protecting power. Public institutions do not get to take sides in cultural revolutions. Schools are not the property of activist movements. They belong to families and taxpayers. Their job is to teach math, science, history, not to advance a doctrine about gender identity that many parents fundamentally reject. And yes, parents must have absolute, non-negotiable opt-out rights. Not symbolic opt-outs. Not bureaucratic mazes. Real consent. Real authority. If a school is teaching material that touches on sexuality, gender identity, or deeply contested beliefs about human nature, parents decide. Not the state. What we are seeing is a creeping normalization of the idea that government knows best and families should comply. I reject that outright. This is a fight about freedom. It is a fight about who governs, citizens or bureaucrats. Parents or activists. Reality or ideology. And I will not back down. abbynews.com/2026/02/19/for…

One of the BCHRT members that fined Neufeld $750K was an activist lawyer +trans rights advocate, before her 2017 appointment. In a 2018 case, a Christian defendant requested to disqualify the member for bias, who proceeded to uphold her own objectivity. straight.com/news/1115886/c…

Long term, I think it will be good that a tribunal declared that you deserve to have your life ruined if you don't think boys can be girls ... and everyone from teacher's unions to "human rights" commissions said they agree and want more lives ruined.

The Human Rights Tribunal affirms that hateful statements or publications are not shielded from the Human Rights Code because they are part of public or political discourse, re: BCTF v. Neufeld. To read the full statement please visit: bchumanrights.ca/neufeld-decisi…
