John Carpay: Federal Policy Allowing ‘Trans-Identifying’ Men Into Women’s Prisons Endangers Female Inmates
Commentary If the topic wasn’t so serious, I might be laughing about the federal government’s statement of defence to a Charter challenge against one of its policies. The statement responds to the advocacy group Canadian Women’s Sex Based Rights (CAWSBAR), which is challenging the policy of allowing men who identify as women to transfer into federal women’s prisons. Once upon a time, the only men who were eligible to transfer into a women’s prison were those who had their male genitalia surgically removed. After Parliament passed Bill C-16 to add “gender identity” and “gender expression” to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, federal policy changed....

Toronto Seen as One of Canada’s Least Safe Cities: Poll
Toronto is seen by Canadians as one of the country’s most dangerous cities, with many viewing it as less safe than it actually is, a new poll finds. A national public safety perception study conducted by Liaison Strategies found that 57 percent of Canadians consider Toronto to be “somewhat” or “very” unsafe. Just 39 percent said they consider the Ontario capital to be safe. Only Winnipeg received a worse rating among the 15 cities included in the poll. Fifty-nine percent of respondents described Winnipeg as unsafe, compared with 31 percent who considered it safe. Liaison Strategies ranked the cities based on their net safety scores, calculated by subtracting the percentage of respondents who considered a city unsafe from the percentage who considered it safe. Toronto recorded a net safety score of -18, second-worst among the cities surveyed, behind Winnipeg at -28.

Prehistoric Yukon ‘Cheetahs’ Were Fish Eaters, Not Really Cheetahs at All: Study
Slender, agile cheetahs that roamed the Yukon 30,000 years ago were not technically cheetahs at all, but relatives of the puma that adapted to mostly eat fish instead of antelopes in a harsh northern climate, new research shows. A study published in the journal Current Biology analyzed fossils found in the Yukon and Wyoming in the United States belonging to Miracinonyx trumani, also known as the “American cheetah.” With their gracefully slim bodies and long legs, the now-extinct cats appeared to resemble African cheetahs. But the researchers found the cats were actually closer relatives of the puma, having diverged from the puma lineage around 2.6 million years ago as growing grasslands and cooling temperatures drove diversification in many North American mammals.
