Re: Parents still in charge amid health curriculum overhaul: premier, Sept. 23

The premier’s assurance that parents could continue to “opt-out” their children from health education classes on the premise that specific topics clash with their “personal beliefs” is, at once, disappointing and concerning.

To be blunt, such an approach is Trumpian. It condones “othering.”

Police are looking for suspects after a 46-year-old man was stabbed on Portage Avenue Wednesday.

Officers were called at about 5:45 p.m., and found the victim with serious upper-body injuries in the 200 block of Portage Avenue. He was sent to hospital in unstable condition but has been upgraded to stable condition.

The suspects fled before police arrived. Investigators say the victim was confronted by several people in the 300 block of Portage Avenue and was stabbed with an unknown weapon. He went to a nearby business, where police were called.

Anyone with information should contact police at 204-986-6219, or leave a tip anonymously at Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.

Another October coming up, and still the Nobel Peace Prize Committee refuses to give Donald Trump his prize. They even gave one to Barak Obama, who was Black and a Democrat and had only been in office for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, they ignore a man truly worthy of the prize, a man who ended eight wars last year alone. (He said so himself.)

Unfortunately the prize committee has a long record of backing the wrong person.

They gave it to Aung Sang Suu Kyi of Myanmar, who defended the Rohingya genocide: “I don’t think there is ethnic cleansing going on,” she said.

They gave it to former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who ordered the secret carpet-bombing of Cambodia: “The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
