Woman Who Had to Give up Baby Urges Ottawa to Apologize for Forced Adoptions Christine Nayler spent only four hours with her newborn daughter at a hospital north of Newmarket, Ont., in 1982, before her baby was taken away from her. Then a 15-year-old expectant mother living in Toronto, Nayler was sent to a relative’s home north of the city to give birth. She was expected to return home without the child.

Preston Manning: Will Premier Smith Have the Last Word on the Best Path Forward for Alberta and Canada? Commentary Alberta’s Premier Smith—leader of a government with annual revenues of $75+ billion, a majority in the provincial legislature, and leading her closest political opponent by 13–17 points according to a recent poll—on May 21 announced the addition of a tenth question to her proposed Oct. 19 referendum ballot. The question: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding referendum whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?” The announcement provoked a flurry of predictable reactions from predictable sources: the usual negatives from the NDP Opposition; fatuous fury from one spokesperson for the secession-championing Alberta Prosperity Project, but a more nuanced response from a wiser secession-advocate, lawyer Keith Wilson; dismay from Forever Canadian founder Thomas Lukaszuk, while repeating his preference for a vote on the issue in the legislature; and declarations of renewed commitments to Canadian unity by former Premier Kenney, federal Opposition Leader Poilievre, and Prime Minister Carney, leader of the federal party most responsible for Western alienation....

Tory MP Warns of Beijing’s Interference in Canada’s Culture Industry as Minister Visits China Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar is warning that the Chinese regime is suppressing Canada’s creative industries, as Culture Minister Marc Miller concluded a three-day visit to China in an effort to advance Canada’s commercial cultural and diplomatic relations in the country. “Just concluded a productive trip to China,” Miller said in a May 29 social media post, adding that Canada’s creative industries and cultural organizations have the “talent, expertise, and creativity needed to seize opportunities on the world stage” as the government focuses on diversifying trade and building new partnerships. Majumdar responded to Miller’s post, saying that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) suppresses Canada’s creative industries in a number of ways, such as through “preemptive script cleansing” from criticism of CCP leaders; portrayals of Taiwan, Tibet, and Hong Kong; as well as “visual retrofitting” of images and “active narrative shaping, like flattering portrayals of CCP officials.”...
