N.B. premier ‘doubling down’ on LGBTQ2 policy changes in Trudeau social media attack

Blaine Higgs’s uncharacteristic tweet attacking the prime minister could be a case of “doubling down” and appealing to a certain base of voters, according to a political scientist from the province.In a tweet sent last Friday that has now had more than a million views, the premier called out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — alleging he “does not support the role of parents in guiding their children’s future.”Susan Holt & Justin Trudeau don’t believe parents need be involved in such critical discussions as gender identity, even in children as young as 4.In New Brunswick, we’ll have a safe learning environment & better mental health supports, while still respecting the parent’s role. pic.twitter.com/WWDK8ID9Mw— Blaine Higgs (@premierbhiggs) June 10, 2023At issue is the Higgs government’s controversial review and changes to Policy 713, which sets up standards to ensure an inclusive environment for LGBTQ2 children in schools.The updated policy removes wording that allowed students under 16 to use their preferred name in the classroom.

Orcas becoming strategic in their attacks, says boat captain ambushed twice

orcas, also known as killer whales, appear to be ambushing boats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.But now, a boat captain is speaking out, saying that after his boat was attacked for a second time he now thinks these groups of orcas know “exactly what they’re doing.”Captain Dan Kriz, a sailor with Reliance Yacht Management, had his first orca encounter in 2020.“I was sailing with my delivery crew through the Strait of Gibraltar delivering a yacht when I was surrounded with a pack of eight orcas, pushing the boat around for about an hour,” Kriz told Newsweek. “We were one of the first boats experiencing this very unusual orcas’ behaviour.”While the whales caused significant damage to the boat’s rudder, leaving them stranded and needing a tow to the nearest marina, a similar attack three years later has cemented his belief that orcas are now intentionally disrupting sea vessels.Kriz said that he was delivering a catamaran on April 15 of this year near the Canary Islands when he began to feel the boat being jostled by creatures below.“My first reaction was, ‘Please! Not again,’” Kriz told Newsweek.“First time (in 2020), we could hear them communicating under the boat,” the captain said.

an elevated section collapsed over the weekend following damage caused by a tanker truck crash. LiveNOW from FOX spoke with Mark Fusetti, a retired police sergeant, who happened to be driving on the fiery section of I-95 Sunday morning moments before the collapse. Fusetti saw dark, black smoke begin to consume the roadway ahead of him and assumed it was coming from a car fire down below. "I did see an opening (in the smoke) where I could drive through and look safely, which I did. And as I drove through, you felt this major bump on the road," he described.He shared video with LiveNOW from the scene, where Fusetti’s vehicle can be seen going through a clearing in the smoke. "After I go through, I look in my rearview mirror and I see that's where all the cars stopped and that’s where I'm told, unofficially, where the highway collapsed right after."Fusetti said that area of I-95 was already under construction, so he didn’t think much when going over the big bump, but that he was in disbelief when he heard what had happened. "Is this normal?"RELATED: Philadelphia I-95 collapse: What you need to know about the damaged highwayIn this handout photo provided by the City of Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management, smoke rises from a collapsed section of the I-95 highway on June 11, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
