40 Days for Life - Fall of 2023
When I arrived at the corner of Bank and Sparks today at approximately 3:30, Helena and Richard were quietly praying. God bless the two of them.
We pray for all who are affected by abortion: The babies who die, their mothers and fathers and extended families, For the doctors and nurses our government leaders who are complicit for....... Lots of prayers are needed!!!
Pat arrived around 3:45. Helena and Richard left at 4, and Pat and I said a few prayers till about 5:00 at which time we left to meet up with Barb for supper at the Royal Oak on Kent Street
We said a few prayers
I still haven't been able to figure out my video settings. It's kind of washed out grr!

(Sometimes we even get a hello from a toddler in the background during team calls!) We have colleagues who have left corporate life because of forced COVID-19 requirements or simply because they could not work for a company whose values did not align with their own.

Last fall, the Toronto District School Board sent out an alarming survey that students were expected to complete. It was described as a census, but the questions it included went beyond the scope of what most people would consider a typical census.
The document became controversial and was temporarily shelved by the TDSB. A National Post headline covering the controversy described it as a “race-based student census,” which was a reasonable phrase to use because there were many questions focused on race.
But there were also a lot of questions about gender, gender identity and sexuality. The school board created four different surveys, each covering different age groupings: Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3, Grade 4–6, Grade 7–8, and then high school.
There were questions included in the older elementary versions that asked students if they were familiar with the transgender practices of breast-binding and penis-tucking. These have since been removed and are not part of the updated versions on the TDSB website. But the board has never provided an explanation as to why senior staff felt it was appropriate to talk to kids about these matters in the first place.
However, as the surveys currently stand, all of them still ask the child’s gender identity. This includes the ones asked of kindergarten students. (Parents are expected to answer the JK–Grade 3 surveys on behalf of their children, but Grade 4–8 is to be answered in class by the student. The surveys are not anonymous.)
