An influential national archbishop of the Anglican Church of Canada resigned from office and all church duties after being accused of sexual misconduct.
The departure of Mark MacDonald, national Indigenous archbishop with oversight of pastoral care for Indigenous Canadian church members since 2007, came suddenly on Wednesday, while the church’s handling of additional — apparently unrelated — allegations of sexual misconduct was already under fire.

YORK COUNTY, Pa. — Could an after school Satan Club be coming to an elementary school near you?
On Tuesday evening, the Northern York County School Board members voted down the approval of the program.
The program, designed for children as young as 5, says it doesn’t worship Satan, but what exactly does it teach?
Canadian officials, including Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, joined allies in staging a walkout of a G20 meeting in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday in protest of Russia’s involvement.
At Wednesday’s G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting, Freeland said she and “a number of our democratic partners” got up and left the meeting when Russia sought to intervene.
The feds have enlisted multiple states to assist an investigation of reports of sickness caused by Lucky Charms — and meanwhile customers are complaining that the sugary breakfast cereal’s manufacturer, General Mills, has had a lame response.
The Food and Drug Administration has tapped at least four states — New York, Michigan, Kansas and Arkansas — whose health departments are now are contacting and interviewing consumers who have reported bouts of vomiting and diarrhea after eating Lucky Charms, according to customers and state officials.
It’s likely a banal reason will be found explaining these Unlucky Charms but we have been fortunate to date that neither the water supply or food chain has been successfully tampered with.
We never got cereal like this when I was a kid. We got Cornflakes, Shredded wheat, porridge and occasionally those huge bags of wheat puffs.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is investigating a teacher who has been placed on home assignment after he sent a hostile email to students claiming that those without masks are “maybe even killing me” and that any unmasked students will need to sit outside in the hallway or face “detentions and other consequences.”
If the government is wielding covert influence, it is not sharing that information with its MPs or senior bureaucrats, who complain privately about a tentative, opaque and ponderous policy
Ukraine is set to convene with its closest allies to discuss future security guarantees in the event of a diplomatic settlement in the war with Russia, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
But Canada will not be at the table — much to the chagrin of some senior diplomats who want to see a more energetic response from Ottawa.
A Quebec judge has ordered a father to stop taking his 10-year-old son to anti-mandate protests after he brought him to the “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa during one weekend in February.
The court also intervened in another parental dispute involving the same child — in that case, his vaccination status was at issue — and ruled that the boy can get the COVID-19 vaccine as requested by his mother, against his father’s wishes.
… “The remarks made by the participants are hardly laudatory against the government and… there is a serious risk that it can degenerate quickly,” wrote Superior Court Justice Nathalie Pelletier in her judgment.

TORONTO – An Ontario Liberal government will ban handguns across the province in its first year in office, Ontario Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca announced today in his party’s latest platform plank release.
“I’ve had it with Doug Ford’s open for business policy for guns.” Del Duca said, “The Ford Conservatives are putting the interests of the gun lobby ahead of the Ontario victims of gun crime they swore an oath to protect. The result is handgun violence is spiraling out of control. The choice on handguns is clear, more handguns and gun crime under the Ford Conservatives or a ban on handguns under the Ontario Liberals.”
Russian troll farms aiming disinformation war at Canadian anti-vaxxers: Global Affairs expert
Russian-sponsored disinformation is trying to exploit one of Canada’s most divisive issues to shape opinions here about its invasion of Ukraine, says a top Global Affairs Canada expert on the topic.
Using troll farms that post on Facebook and other social media sites, the campaigns often target the minority of Canadians opposed to COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine mandates, and others deeply distrustful of government, said Philippe-André Rodriguez, deputy director of the department’s Centre for International Digital Policy.
Here’s the kicker… Rodriguez also said Russian disinformation is being amplified by social media sites’ algorithms, which may require some kind of government intervention to counter.
This is the same government that had its CBC propaganda mouthpiece lie about “foreign” donations to the Trucker Convoy to justify seizing their donated funds.
… For example, it found that 41 per cent of Black people surveyed said they trusted the government, compared to 22 per cent within the general population. The same proportion said they trusted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, compared with 33 per cent surveyed in the general population. The higher approval rating comes despite photos of Trudeau wearing blackface and brownface surfacing in 2019, something he has apologized for because of its racist history.
