Fox News: Nevada's GOP governor signs law enhancing penalties for election worker intimidation
Nevada has signed a new bill into law that could sentence anyone who harasses election workers up to four years in jail. The law is in response to increased scrutiny and threats made towards those working at state and local election offices. As the rate of threatening behaviors towards election workers has increased significantly, the law aims to show support to these workers and better protect them from further attack. Other states such as New Mexico, Vermont, and Oklahoma have also passed similar laws to protect election officials against harassment and intimidation.
The legislation, passed unanimously through both of Nevada’s Democratic-controlled legislative chambers, was a significant campaign promise from Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar. He cited an exodus of election workers across the state, partly due to increased threats. The new law also makes it a felony to disseminate personal information about an election worker without their consent. Governor Lombardo and Aguilar, who have previously sparred over Lombardo’s proposal to require voter identification, jointly signed the bill. Over half of the top election officials across Nevada’s 17 counties have resigned following the 2020 election due to threats made against them.

The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: Attempts to Cancel Canada Day the Latest Escalation in Decades-Old Trend, Say Historians
The trend of questioning Canadian national identity has escalated, with some major cities attempting to cancel Canada Day celebrations; historians say it has been gathering momentum in recent years. The rising trend of canceling Canada Day is driven by a liberal-educated class, and it is the endpoint for a long-standing Canadian tendency towards “self-abasement” and giving up majority traditions for minority accommodation. The current struggle over Canada Day shows that a segment of Canadians is standing against this absolutist choice and the need for self-abasement, believing that all Canadians can be celebrated without downplaying the traditions of some.
