slotvip 777 EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she doesn’t believe she’ll need to invoke the Charter's notwithstanding clause to shield her government's three transgender bills from legal challenges. The bills passed third and final reading in the legislature this week and are set to become law. Two LGBTQ+ advocate organizations — Egale Canada and Skipping Stone Foundation — say they plan to file a legal challenge. It's anticipated the challenge will be on grounds the bills violate Charter rights, including equality rights. "I don’t want to prejudge the court," Smith told reporters at an unrelated news conference Wednesday when asked if she would use the notwithstanding clause. "We will put forward a robust case — that this (legislation) is reasonable in a free, democratic society, that it's evidence based, and that we're protecting children and their right to be able to make adult decisions as adults." One bill would require children under 16 to have parental consent if they want to change their names or pronouns at school. A similar law governs school policy in Saskatchewan, where the government invoked the notwithstanding clause last year, a measure that allows governments to override certain Charter rights for up to five years. The Alberta bills go further, encompassing a range of topics from sex education to transgender surgery and sports. One bill compels parents to opt-in for their children to receive lessons in school on sexuality, sexual orientation and gender identity. Outside resources or presentations would also need to be pre-approved by the Education ministry, unless they're part of a religious school program. Physicians would be banned from offering gender-affirming treatment, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy, for those under 16. There would be a prohibition on gender-affirming "top" surgeries for minors. Transgender athletes would no longer be allowed to compete in female amateur sports, and sports organizations would be required to report eligibility complaints to the government. Bennett Jensen, Egale’s legal director, said the bills and the months of debate that preceded them have already hurt transgender children and athletes. Jensen said when political leaders discriminate against one segment of the population, it communicates that there is something wrong with that identity. “The consequences of having your identity debated in the public sphere for months is devastating,” Jensen said in an interview. "Anxiety is way up, depression is way up, bullying is way up, and this is without anything (legal) being in effect.” Jensen also took issue with Smith’s assertion that banning puberty blockers prevents children from making irreversible life decisions. "Puberty blockers do exactly what she is claiming to be wanting to protect for young people, which is afford them time and prevent irreversible changes," he said. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said it may seek to be an intervener in the legal challenge. “This is a dark time for freedom in Alberta,” Harini Sivalingam, director of the association’s equality program, said in a statement. “The passage of these intrusive laws will severely erode the liberty of individuals and families to make deeply personal decisions about their lives.” NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said he expects some of the United Conservative Party government's legislation will be deemed unconstitutional by the courts and wondered why Smith believes her bill is different. “(Saskatchewan Premier) Scott Moe knew it was unconstitutional and used the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively,” Nenshi told reporters.

My heart broke when we closed our shop in L.A. I’m beginning to see out the other endSUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE ENT In an age when specialized skills and education are the keys to career success, Boerne ISD has established two innovative opportunities through Pathways to Technology Early College High School (P-TECH). With programs in cybersecurity and health science, Boerne ISD offers a dual enrollment opportunity that allows students from Boerne and Champion high schools to gain both a high school diploma and college credits in two of the most in-demand fields today. The cybersecurity program housed at Champion is equipping students with the knowledge and experience necessary to tackle some of the most pressing issues of the digital age. The demand for cybersecurity professionals has never been greater, and our P-TECH students are already well on their way to becoming experts in the field. The program has 181 students enrolled for this school year. Students in the cybersecurity program are working toward an associate of applied science in cybersecurity and information assurance. Students have the opportunity to earn industry-based certifications, and possible careers in this field include network administrator, systems analyst and cybersecurity consultant. The health science program housed at Boerne High is another vital area of focus, offering students a comprehensive education in the healthcare field. The program provides students the opportunity to earn either an associate of science or an associate of applied science in health Science. Careers in this field include nursing, medical assisting, and other healthcare-related fields. Currently, the health science program has 201 students enrolled, with the majority of the students in ninth grade. Students in this program have the opportunity to earn industry-based certifications such as phlebotomy, EKG, and clinical medical assistant. Recruitment for both programs begins in eighth grade, with teachers and advisors meeting with interested students and hosting parent information sessions. The ultimate goal of both programs is for students to complete an associate’s degree prior to high school graduation. Students earning an associate’s degree and/or industry-based certification have the potential to save thousands of dollars in college expenses. To support students in achieving their goals, the district provides a variety of resources and support systems such as college entrance exam preparation, routine tutorials, and advisory meetings. The P-TECH program’s commitment to preparing students for success doesn’t stop at graduation. Administrators and faculty provide work-based learning opportunities, ensuring that students gain real-world experience in their chosen fields before they even complete their degrees. As the 2025-2026 recruitment efforts continue, the future looks brighter than ever for students in the cybersecurity and health science programs. For those interested in applying, the deadline to submit applications is Feb. 7, 2025. If you’re an eighth grader or the parent of one, don’t miss out on this transformative opportunity to jumpstart a career in cybersecurity or health science.

AP Business SummaryBrief at 1:35 p.m. ESTIn the heart of West Africa, where the echoes of drums narrate ancient tales of resilience, hope, and ambition, one nation rises as a luminous star in the ever-changing tapestry of democracy— Ghana. Its journey, marked by scars of struggle, is a testament to the resilience and determination of its people. Ghana’s democracy, like a river, carves its path through a region often engulfed by the shadows of political instability, offering more than just a model; it offers hope—a flickering yet determined flame that illuminates a region yearning for transformation. For Nigeria, the region’s largest democracy, this light is both an invitation and a challenge. Despite its size, wealth, and influence, Nigeria struggles under the weight of its unrealised potential, grappling with systemic failures that have weakened its institutions and tested the faith of its people. Ghana’s journey is not just an inspiration for its neighbours; it is a call to action—a reminder that democracy is not a static state but a dynamic process that demands vigilance, sacrifice, and a relentless pursuit of the common good. Ghana’s story is not merely a narrative of governance; it is a powerful song of possibilities, a melody of what can be achieved when people and institutions unite to uphold the principles of justice, equality, and peace. It is a message to Nigeria and allWest Africa: the future belongs to those who dare to shape it. Although fraught with multiple democratic missteps, Ghana towers above its neighbours in upholding the democratic tenet of free and fair elections, with little incidence of intimidation, vote buying, box snatching, political thuggery and official manipulations of electoral outcomes that are common in Nigeria’s electoral history. Besides the militarism and coup de tat that is sweeping across West Africa, it is not touching Ghana where, although with its many challenges, the people have adopted democracy as their ultimate form of government and are doing everything possible to deepen and consolidate the democratic gains. At the heart of Ghana’s democratic strength lies its commitment to fostering political accountability and citizen engagement. Unlike many West African nations where power often oscillates between authoritarian rule and fragile democratic experiments, Ghana has maintained a steady course of civilian governance for decades. Since its return to multiparty democracy in 1992, Ghana has conducted eight successful general elections, with peaceful transitions of power occurring between rival political parties. For instance, in 2001, Ghana witnessed a historic moment when power peacefully transitioned from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), setting a standard for political civility. 2009, this tradition continued as the NPP handed power back to the NDC after a closely contested election. These transitions contrast sharply with Nigeria, where political transitions have often been marred by allegations of electoral fraud, violence, and post-election litigation that weaken public trust in the democratic process. Nigeria can draw significant lessons from Ghana’s ability to ensure smooth transitions of power. The peaceful handover of leadership in Ghana has been underpinned by the independence of its Electoral Commission (EC). Ghana’s EC has consistently exhibited professionalism, transparency, and impartiality, earning the confidence of both political parties and the electorate. By contrast, Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has faced numerous allegations of bias and logistical challenges, often leading to disputed results and eroded trust. For example, during Nigeria’s 2019 general elections, reports of logistical delays and allegations of vote-buying cast a shadow over the process. Nigeria must strengthen INEC’s independence, provide adequate resources, and ensure that it operates free from political interference. Adopting Ghana’s approach to technological innovation, such as biometric voter registration and real-time results tracking, could also enhance transparency and reduce electoral fraud in Nigeria. Ghanaians’ active engagement in the democratic process is another area where Nigeria could learn valuable lessons. Ghana boasts consistently high voter turnout rates, frequently exceeding 70%, as seen in the 2020 elections, where turnout reached 79%. This contrasts with Nigeria, where voter turnout has steadily declined, hitting a record low of 35% in the 2019 elections. The difference stems from Ghana’s emphasis on political awareness and education, which has cultivated an electorate that values its role in governance. Nigeria must urgently invest in civic education to enlighten citizens about their rights and responsibilities in a democracy. Such initiatives would boost voter participation and foster public officials’ accountability, as an informed electorate demands transparency and results. Leadership plays a pivotal role in the evolution of democracy, and Ghana’s political history offers significant insights in this regard. Leaders like Jerry John Rawlings demonstrated a successful transition from authoritarianism to democracy, emphasizing moral governance and economic reform. While Nigeria has also made the transition from military rule to civilian governance, the quality of leadership has often been questioned, with allegations of corruption and self-serving policies taking precedence over national interests. Ghana’s relatively high level of political accountability can be attributed to the integrity of its leaders and their commitment to strengthening institutions rather than personalizing power. Nigeria could greatly benefit from prioritizing the election of leaders who value national development over individual gain, thereby fostering a culture of service and responsibility. Education has been a cornerstone of Ghana’s democratic success, and it offers a model for Nigeria to invest in political and public administration education. According to the Ghana Statistical Service, the country’s political elite are notably well-educated, with over 60% holding tertiary degrees. This high level of education has translated into slightly better-informed policymaking and effective governance. In contrast, Nigeria’s political class has been criticized for lacking the requisite skills and educational background to address the complex governance challenges. By investing in education, particularly in political and public administration, Nigeria could prepare future leaders for the demands of public office. Ghana’s Free Senior High School policy, which has expanded access to education for thousands of students, provides a model that Nigeria could adapt to improve its human capital and strengthen its democratic institutions over the long term. The role of Ghana’s Electoral Commission in ensuring credible elections provides another lesson for Nigeria. Ghana’s EC operates with high independence, overseeing the electoral process with transparency and professionalism. This starkly contrasts Nigeria, where INEC has often faced accusations of partiality and inefficiency. Nigeria must empower INEC to function autonomously to address these issues, with sufficient funding and legal protections against political interference. Additionally, Ghana’s adoption of technology, such as biometric voter registration and electronic transmission of results, has reduced incidents of electoral fraud and increased public confidence. Nigeria’s gradual adoption of such innovations is a step in the right direction, but it must ensure full implementation and proper oversight to achieve similar success. Ghana’s vibrant political culture, characterised by constructive opposition and peaceful political rivalry, contrasts with Nigeria’s divisive and contentious political landscape. In Ghana, the ruling and opposition parties engage in policy debates that enrich the democratic process. Nigeria, however, has struggled with political violence and antagonism that undermine governance and stability. Encouraging issue-based politics and promoting dialogue between political parties could help Nigeria replicate Ghana’s inclusive and cooperative political environment. In this last 2024 general election, voters turnout was encouraging and the election was fairly peaceful considering African election standards. There are isolated cases of ballot box snatching, and a confirmed case of one person was shot in Kasoa Zongo, located in the Awutu Senya East Constituency that resulted in the death of a man, and accusations of low level interference by the government in power. However, ECOWAS observation mission and other election observation agencies have stated that the election was peaceful and cred -ible. There are strong indications that the opposition party, NDC, may win the presidential election. This will be good for democracy in Ghana. The handing over of power from the ruling party to the opposition party demonstrates the maturing of Ghana’s democracy and indicates that the will of the people reigns supreme and is not subverted. As the sun sets over the vibrant lands of West Africa, casting long shadows over bustling cities and quiet villages alike, Ghana stands tall—a lighthouse amid turbulent seas, a radiant beacon of democracy and hope. Its path has not been without trials, yet each challenge overcome has added strength to its foundation and brilliance to its light. Ghana’s story is a powerful reminder that democracy when nurtured with care, courage, and integrity, can endure against all odds. It is a testament to the transformative power of engaged citizens and enlightened leadership, showing that even in the most challenging circumstances, progress is not only possible but inevitable when people’s will prevails. For Nigeria, whose vastness carries both the burden of its challenges and the weight of its promise, Ghana’s example is more than a model; it is a lifeline, a whisper of hope urging the giant to awaken, reflect, and reclaim its rightful place as a leader in Africa’s democratic renaissance. Nigeria has the resources, the people, and the potential to rival and surpass the success of Ghana, but it must first learn the lessons of vigilance, accountability, and the power of an informed electorate. Ghana’s journey offers a blueprint for navigating the storms of instability and creating a legacy of stability and progress. In Ghana’s steady progress lies a profound truth: democracy is not a gift bestowed by chance or luck,but a destiny earned through sacrifice, unity, and determination. The heartbeat of Ghana’s democratic evolution reverberates across the continent, calling out to nations like Nigeria to rise above their struggles and embrace the transformative power of governance that truly serves the people. In this shared journey toward a brighter future, Ghana reminds us that where there is will, there is an unyielding way, and where there is hope, there lies the promise of renewal and greatness.In a significant development, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has recused himself from a critical environmental case concerning a proposed railway project in Utah. This decision follows pressure from Democratic lawmakers who pointed to his previous ties with businessman Philip Anschutz, who allegedly has vested interests in the case, as a conflict of interest. The case, set for argument next Tuesday, involves a proposal to connect Utah's Uinta Basin to a broader rail network, primarily for transporting waxy crude oil. The case serves as a test for the breadth of environmental impact assessments required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970. The Supreme Court disclosed Gorsuch's decision through a brief statement, citing adherence to ethical conduct codes. Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson and peers had pushed for Gorsuch's withdrawal, advocating for stringent Supreme Court ethical standards. Johnson commended the recusal, emphasizing the need for public confidence in the Court's impartiality. The situation underscores ongoing concerns about justices' financial transparency and political influence. (With inputs from agencies.)

Warning to anyone with bird feeders in their gardens to 'move them now'Players must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female before going through male puberty to compete in LPGA tournaments or the eight USGA championships for females under new gender policies published Wednesday. The policies, which begin in 2025, follow more than a year of study involving medicine, science, sport physiology and gender policy law. The updated policies would rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson, who missed qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open this year by one shot and came up short in LPGA Q-school. Davidson, who turned 32 on Tuesday, began hormone treatments when she was in her early 20s in 2015 and in 2021 underwent gender-affirming surgery, which was required under the LPGA's previous gender policy. She had won this year on a Florida mini-tour called NXXT Golf until the circuit announced in March that players had to be assigned female at birth. “Can't say I didn't see this coming,” Davidson wrote Wednesday on an Instagram story. “Banned from the Epson and the LPGA. All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence.” LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who is resigning in January, said the new gender policy "is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach." Ross D. Franklin, AP File By making it to the second stage of Q-school, Davidson would have had very limited status on the Epson Tour, the pathway to the LPGA. The LPGA and USGA say their policies were geared toward being inclusive of gender identities and expression while striving for equity in competition. The LPGA said its working group of experts advised that the effects of male puberty allowed for competitive advantages in golf compared with players who had not gone through puberty. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts “Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach,” said LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who announced Monday that she is resigning in January. "The policy represents our continued commitment to ensuring that all feel welcome within our organization, while preserving the fairness and competitive equity of our elite competitions.” Mike Whan, the former LPGA commissioner and now CEO of the USGA, said it developed the updated policy independently and later discovered it was similar to those used by swimming, track and field, and other sports. United States Golf Association CEO Mike Whan said the new policy will prevent anyone from having "a competitive advantage based on their gender." Matt York, AP File “It starts with competitive fairness as the North star,” Whan said in a telephone interview. “We tried not to get into politics, or state by state or any of that stuff. We just simply said, ‘Where would somebody — at least medically today — where do we believe somebody would have a competitive advantage in the field?’ And we needed to draw a line. “We needed to be able to walk into any women's event and say with confidence that nobody here has a competitive advantage based on their gender. And this policy delivers that.” The “Competitive Fairness Gender Policy” for the USGA takes effect for the 2025 championship season that starts with the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball on May 10-14. Qualifying began late this year, though there were no transgender players who took part. “Will that change in the years to come as medicine changes? Probably,” Whan said. “But I think today this stacks up.” The LPGA “Gender Policy for Competition Eligibility” would apply to the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour and qualifying for the tours. Players assigned male at birth must prove they have not experienced any part of puberty beyond the first stage or after age 12, whichever comes first, and then meet limitation standards for testosterone levels. The LPGA begins its 75th season on Jan. 30 with the Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida.
