Judge sentences Alberta man to eight years in ‘inconceivable’ rabbit killings

Important lessons lostRe: 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.”

The new curriculum content is intended to provide students with factual information that will help keep them safe from myriad physical, emotional and mental harms while also providing opportunities to develop understanding, respect and compassion for their fellow humans.

The Winnipeg Police Service is investigating three unrelated stabbings that have happened over the past two days in the Inkster Gardens, Transcona and Jefferson neighbourhoods. Three men, including a taxi driver, are recovering from their injuries.

At 4 p.m. Sept. 25, officers responded to a stabbing report in Inkster Gardens. An 18-year-old man was taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.

At about 8:30 p.m. Sept. 25, a taxi driver was stabbed during a fare dispute in the 1600 block of Regent Avenue. The driver, in his 50s, drove himself to the hospital.

At 1:50 a.m. this morning, officers responded to a robbery report in the 300 block of McAdam Avenue, where a man had been stabbed. The victim, a man in his 30s, was taken to hospital in unstable condition and was later upgraded to stable. A suspect in that case is described as a man wearing a dark hoodie with a white Jordan symbol on the front.

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.”
