The Daily Signal - Canadian Law Could Send Parents to Jail for Not Affirming Gender Identity

It’s a conversation many have had at least once in their life. A friend or family member shares that he or she is struggling with same-sex attraction. 


No doubt there are countless opinions on the most loving way to respond in these moments, but a new law in Canada mandates the response to be given. Affirm the same-sex attraction—or risk jail time. 


Yes, Canada’s “conversion therapy” ban requires parents, pastors, counselors, friends, and others to affirm a person's gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, or face jail or prison time. 


Canada has surrendered “to the political sphere to let them decide how we can counsel, how we can love our LGBT neighbors in the name of Jesus, and how to teach our own kids what a biblical view of sexuality and gender looks like,” says Jojo Ruba, the communications director for the Calgary, Alberta-based Free to Care. 


Ruba joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss Canada’s new “conversion therapy” ban and the possibility of the U.S. adopting similar federal legislation. 


We also cover these stories: 

  • A group of GOP lawmakers says the FBI is refusing to take responsibility for using counterterrorism resources “to target concerned parents at local school board meetings.” 
  • Consumer prices increase by 7.5% last month compared with a year ago.
  • Illegal immigrant deportations fell by 70% in 2021.

Short Wave - How climate change is forcing cities to rebuild stormwater systems

Deep below our city streets lie intricate networks of underground piping built to carry away excess rainfall run off. These stormwater systems mostly go unnoticed until heavy rains overwhelm them, causing streets to flood. Now, with rising rainfall averages in much of the nation, cities need to plan for more water. Guest host Dan Charles talks to climate correspondent Lauren Sommer about the challenges of such planning and why many cities aren't set up to handle the coming rains.

Caste argues that caste and not racism is actually what Black people were fleeing when they left the Jim Crow South. Wilkerson told Throughline's Ramtin Arablouei and Rund Abdelfatah that the term racism is rooted in hate but caste is about "power and how those other groups manage and navigate and seek to survive in a society that's created with this ranked hierarchy."

Lost Debate - Ep 24 | BLM GNF Funding, Gerrymandering, Enes Freedom, Nuclear Fusion, Oscars

A recent exposé in New York Magazine outlines the murky finances of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki discuss the allegations in the piece. We take a look at an egregiously gerrymandered map in Alabama before diving into the wider issue with partisan gerrymandering nationwide. Rikki shows us a new ad FIRE is running with Enes Kanter Freedom during the Beijing Olympics, and Ravi talks us through a breakthrough in nuclear power. Plus, it’s Oscars season! We discuss the increasingly irrelevant awards show and talk about the nominees none of our hosts have seen.
