City of St. John's Charges 70-Year-Old Woman for Feeding Pigeons in Her Backyard
A Newfoundland woman's elderly mother is facing a $5,000 fine for feeding pigeons in her backyard for over a decade. The City of St. John's charged Susan Rendell for violating a bylaw that forbids feeding wildlife on residential property.

The Epoch Times: 'I Will Not Bend': MP Jenny Kwan Says She Won't Allow China to Erase History
'I Will Not Bend': MP Jenny Kwan Says She Won't Allow China to Erase History
Jenny Kwan, a Canadian Member of Parliament, has been warned by Canada's spy agency that she has become a target of foreign interference by China due to her outspoken stance against human-rights violations. Kwan, who was born in Hong Kong, advocates for the country's Uyghur Muslim minority and has been targeted by the Chinese government since before the 2019 federal election. Kwan has said that she will not be intimidated or silenced and will continue to fight for human rights, especially with the approaching 34th anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square crackdown. Many Hong Kong diaspora members wore masks during a pro-democracy march last weekend in Vancouver to avoid scrutiny from Beijing.

Red State: Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill Banning Medical 'Trans-ing' of Children
Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill Banning Medical 'Trans-ing' of Children
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law banning hormone and puberty-blocking drugs and surgeries on minors, making Texas the largest state to ban the medical transition of youth. Under the legislation, doctors are prohibited from performing mastectomies or surgeries that sterilize minors, or remove healthy tissue or body parts, and are also barred from prescribing drugs that induce temporary or permanent infertility. The measure has drawn criticism from transgender Texans and their allies, who view it as a politicized attack on the rights of transgender individuals, while proponents describe these procedures as “mutilation.” The bill’s passage follows a trend among Republican-led states to restrict medically transitioning minors.
