Wall Street's DEI Retreat Has Officially Begun. As DEI gets more divisive, companies are ditching their teams. These are not headlines I thought I’d be reading in 2024, but it’s a happy day when legacy news sites as hegemonic as Bloomberg and The Washington Post are using such clear language to flag the retreat of DEI from corporate America.
Does Canada’s Online Harms Bill protect kids or outlaw Trudeau’s political opponents?

Mar 6, 2024 | mercatornet.com | Kurt Mahlburg |Gabriël Moens |Augusto Zimmermann |Carolyn Moynihan

Age verification laws and other measures to keep children safe from internet predators are long overdue in Canada. For this reason, Bill C-63, also known as the Online Harms Act, should be a welcome piece of legislation. Believe me when I say it is not.
Queensland’s “no jab, no job” health order during Covid was a violation of fundamental rights, says court

I just found out that there’s a peer-reviewed journal dedicated entirely to the topic of misinformation. It was brought to my attention this week in a tweet by Bjorn Lomborg, who had evidently been browsing its pages. Misinformation Review is the publication’s rather benign title. Launched in 2020, the open-access journal is run out of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School — Harvard University’s school of public policy and government.

Disasters are the chief currency of news media, as daily alarms about the effects of climate change or the possibility of Donald Trump becoming president of the United States again illustrate. But there is one catastrophe they will never mention: the decades-long train wreck of marriage and family life that is happening in the US and nations like it.

If you thought that Russell Brand’s problems were the biggest story in the UK right now, think again. Think about a revolt brewing in the British Civil Service against gender ideology and a warning from within the ranks that identity politics are undermining government itself.

By Carolyn MoynihanSome 300 people from around New Zealand gathered in Auckland with the prelate of Opus Dei, Monsignor Fernando Ocariz, on August 26. A visit from “the Father”, as the prelate is called in the Opus Dei family, is a rare event in this country, the previous one being in 2008. “I give thanks to God for being in this land which is so far from Rome,” he said. “But we are always very united together precisely because we are united in God.
