A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

From the Western Standard: “The evangelicals who endorse MAiD.” One clergyman summarized it succinctly: If you go shopping, you’ll be able to find a pastor who supports whatever you’d like to do. That’s not just true for euthanasia, I might add. It’s also true for abortion or anything the LGBT movement is pushing.

An Ontario court has ruled that Dr. Jordan Peterson must take re-education training mandated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario due to his political social media posts. As Peterson explained on his YouTube channel, this is a naked attempt by a professional regulator body to silence its members. It goes even further than that, I think. The court prefaced its decision with a defence of freedom of speech before siding with the college—but in Canada and elsewhere, the diktats of progressivism are increasingly enforced by corporations, regulatory bodies, and bureaucracies rather than by government itself. If the government defends your freedom of speech but allows a university or professional body to mandate compelled speech like pronouns, what good is freedom of speech?

This letter, from a mother to a daughter who transitioned, is heartbreaking: “My Heartfelt Apologies.” Read it and weep.
The transgender movement lies about physical threats, all the time:
I've heard of a school telling pupils that JK Rowling "wants trans kids dead", and been dropped from ONLINE events because I would be "a serious risk to trans and non-binary attendees" https://t.co/FL5HGSxmjy
Despite the garbage framing by CNN, this is good news:
The North Carolina legislature’s Republican supermajority voted to override vetoes from the state’s Democratic governor on a slew of bills Wednesday evening, including a trio of measures that target transgender youth. The House’s and Senate’s override votes, which passed largely along party lines, mean bills that ban gender-affirming care for minors, restrict how gender identity can be discussed in schools, and prohibit transgender athletes from competing on girls’ sports teams are now law in the state.
People will look back on videos like this with horror and wonder how we could have ever justified such insanity. Many of us are doing so right now. It is surreal to watch this medical scandal unfold right before our eyes. https://t.co/1beuXiUMsd
