Star of Disney's costly 'She-Hulk' flop attacks parental rights and Israel



Disney's "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" was a total disaster. The budget for each episode of the lecturous series was reportedly $25 million — an investment that translated neither into quality nor viewership.

The audience score for the show on Rotten Tomatoes is 32%. Even woke blogs like the Daily Beast couldn't stand it, noting it offered "every tired 'man=bad' trope you've ever seen" and nothing of substance.

While Disney ultimately mercy-killed the series after nine episodes, its star, Tatitana Maslany, has not given up on blathering leftist talking points to small audiences of fellow travelers.

Maslany recently returned to her hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, to receive a plaque commemorating her 2022 induction into Canada's Walk of Fame. She seized upon the opportunity to decry the democratic will of the people of Saskatchewan and the parental rights they hold dear.

'It should not be in the control of parents how a child identifies.'

In recent months and years, there has been an effort in Canada to replicate American red states' success in bolstering parental rights. The province of Saskatchewan, for instance, ratified a parental bill of rights in October.

Blaze News previously reported that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe's government, handed an overwhelming majority and clear mandate by the electorate in 2020, announced in August 2023 new parental inclusion and consent policies aimed at protecting parental rights in the classroom.

The province would accordingly not only temporarily cut radical LGBT activist groups out of sex education in the classroom, but require that if a child wanted to identify as a member of the opposite sex in school, educators could not play along unless the student's parents consented. This would help ensure that educators would not groom students for transition behind parents' backs.

The socialist New Democratic Party, LGBT activist groups, and other radicals fought ardently to keep parents in the dark. The LGBT activist group UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity even secured a temporary injunction against the proposed policies.

However, the Moe government and parents in the province prevailed.

Moe's education minister introduced the act to the legislature as Bill 137 on Oct. 12, revealing that the province would invoke section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to see it through.

This maneuver, called the "notwithstanding clause" or the "nuclear option," enabled Saskatchewan to override certain Charter rights with which the legislation might conflict, thereby protecting it from court challenges as well as challenges under the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code.

In addition to making sure teachers couldn't use pronouns mismatched with a student's actual sex, the legislation underscored that parents were the primary decision-makers with regard to their kids' education.

The bill passed in a 40-12 vote and subsequently became the law of the land.

Maslany, who has apparently lived in Los Angeles for years, claimed at her plaque conferral last week that the law affirming parents' rights amounted to "overreach," reported CTV News.

"It should not be in the control of parents how a child identifies. How a child knows themself to be. That isn't a parent's place — it's an overreach," said Maslany. "It's an overreach on the part of the provincial government to legislate that. It's absurd."

After implying that it wasn't overreach for teachers — also government employees — to shape how other people's children identify, the Hollywood script reader said, "Children have rights. Children are human beings who have knowledge and who know themselves, and we should be taking cues from them. In so many ways, we should be taking cues from them."

"Listening to them, empowering them to know who they are and to name that," continued Maslany. "It's their right. It's not the parent's right."

Footage of Maslany's remarks obtained by state media reveal that she did not limit herself to bemoaning parental rights. Fighting back tears, she also accused Israel of genocide.

"As a Canadian, it's strange to be standing up here when we are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli settler colonial state," said the script reader. "We watch and we do nothing, and I would say with whatever platform I have that we can't do nothing and I would demand that our government demand a ceasefire. Stop funding the genocide. Stop being complicit in it."

She concluded her rant with, "Free Palestine."

Bounding into Comics highlighted that Maslany's radicalism is nothing new. Before it was altogether clear that her Marvel show was a dud, Maslany told Elle magazine in 2022 that she had worn pro-transgenderism apparel in "She-Hulk" publicity videos in protest of Florida's Parental Rights in Education law.

"I felt, as an employee of Disney, that I had to speak," said Maslany. "Stand with the people who I stand with. I wanted to let people know, who needed to know, that I was with them."

Leftists claim it is a 'dark day' after Canadian province ratifies parental bill of rights



The fight to re-establish and bolster parental rights has spread far beyond the borders of red states and Eastern European nations. Among the various battlegrounds to see a decisive victory in recent days is the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

The prairie province introduced a policy in August upholding parental rights in taxpayer-funded classrooms. The usual suspects lashed out, but Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and his right-leaning Saskatchewan Party held firm, going so far as to invoke the "nuclear option" to pass and entrench the law on Friday.

What's the background?

Moe's government, handed an overwhelming majority and clear mandate by the electorate in 2020, announced mid-summer new parental inclusion and consent policies aimed at protecting parental rights in the classroom.

In addition to temporarily cutting radical LGBT activist groups out of sex education in the classroom, the policy stipulated that if a child wants to identify as a member of the opposite sex in school, educators cannot affirm the delusion unless the student's parents consent. This would help ensure that children are not transitioned with the help of educators behind parents' backs.

The province's former education minister said, "Our government has heard the concerns raised by Saskatchewan parents about needing to be notified and included in their children's education in these important areas."

The effort was immediately denounced and characterized as a threat to non-straight students.

The socialist New Democratic Party was among the radical factions to oppose the bill, with its provincial leader Carla Beck claiming, "Teachers will have to choose between shoving kids back in the closet or putting them in harm's way," reported Global News.

Heather Kuttai, the head of the province's so-called Human Rights Commission resigned in protest of the bill, claiming, "Removing a child’s rights, in the name of 'parental rights' is fundamentally anti-trans and harmful."

The LGBT activist group UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity successfully challenged the policy before a provincial court, securing a temporary injunction against the policy, reported Jurist.

The group alleged in its application, "The policy presents an impossible choice: be outed at home or be misgendered at school, even in one-on-one counselling sessions with school personnel. ... Either outcome entails devastating and irreparable harm to a vulnerable young person."

The group wanted to leave such consequential decisions up to educators' "professional judgment."

Despite the backlash, the premier made expressly clear in September, "We are not backing down."

Notwithstanding the backlash

Saskatchewan Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill introduced the act to the legislature as Bill 137 on Oct. 12, revealing that the province would invoke section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to see it through. This maneuver, called the "notwithstanding clause" or the "nuclear option," allowed the province to override certain Charter rights with which the legislation might conflict, thereby protecting it from court challenges as well as challenges under the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code.

Cockrill, a member of the Saskatchewan Party, noted that extra to ensuring parents won't be left in the dark about their kids' possible sexual confusion, the legislation would enshrine various other parental rights ideologues might seek to erode or usurp. These include the right to:

  • "act as the primary decision-maker with respect to the pupil's education";
  • "be informed on a regular basis of the pupil's attendance, behaviour and academic achievement in school";
  • "have access to the pupil's school file";
  • be informed at least two weeks before sexual health content is presented to the pupils and withdraw, if desired, the pupil from the presentation of that content; and
  • preclude educators and school staff from using their child's "new gender-related preferred name or gender identity at the school."

"Parents and guardians have a right to know what is being taught in their children's school," said the province's education minister, Jeremy Cockrill. "The Parents' Bill of Rights is an inclusionary policy that ensures that parents are at the forefront of every important decision in their child's life."

On Friday, the legislature passed the bill in a 40-12 vote, eliciting cries from protesters. The legislation then received royal assent, thereby becoming the law of the land.

Moe said after its enactment, the law "is providing parents the right, not the opportunity, to support their child through the formative years of their life and some very important decisions that our children are facing through those particular years."

Defeated UR Pride executive director Ariana Giroux said, "We here at UR Pride are upsettingly unsurprised that the Government of Saskatchewan would force through legislation that would cause irreparable harm to children."

Egale, the LGBT activist group that recently argued in favor of Jordan Peterson's re-education, said in a statement, "This is a dark day in Canadian history. We will remember this as the first time that an elected government has used the notwithstanding clause to limit the rights of children and young people as well as the first time that an elected government has done so with respect to 2SLGBTQI people."

Harini Sivalingam, the director of the so-called equality program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, similarly bemoaned the restoration of parental rights, calling the ratification of Bill 137 "a stain on the history of the province."

Canadian state media claimed earlier this year that Republicans in the U.S. are responsible for making parental rights "a legislative lodestar," noting that in 2022, 95 parental rights bills were introduced in 26 states. According to CNN, between January 2021 and June 2023, state lawmakers had introduced nearly 400 parental rights bills.

Second Saskatchewan stabbing spree suspect had 'medical distress' and died in police custody, was previously released by parole board despite 59 criminal convictions



Following a massive manhunt in Canada, the second suspect accused of the mass stabbing spree in Saskatchewan died shortly after being taken into custody on Wednesday, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The victims of the Saskatchewan stabbing spree

Myles and his brother Damien Sanderson are accused of one of the bloodiest attacks in Canadian history. In and around an indigenous community in Saskatchewan, 10 people were stabbed to death on Sunday. The victims' ages ranged from 23 to 78 years old, according to the Saskatchewan Coroner's Service.

The victims were identified as:

  • Thomas Burns, 23
  • Carol Burns, 46
  • Gregory Burns, 28
  • Lydia Gloria Burns, 61
  • Bonnie Burns, 48
  • Earl Burns, 66
  • Lana Head, 49
  • Christian Head, 54
  • Robert Sanderson, 49
  • Wesley Petterson, 78

The stabbing attacks occurred at 13 different crime scenes in the James Smith Cree Nation and in the town of Weldon. Of the 10 killed, nine were from James Smith Cree Nation.

There were 18 people injured in the stabbing attack. There are still 10 victims who remain in the hospital – two patients are in critical condition and eight are in stable condition, the Saskatchewan Health Authority confirmed.

Police launch massive manhunt to locate the Sanderson brothers

Over 160 law enforcement officers launched a large manhunt to track down the brothers who fled the crime scene.

On Monday, Damien was found dead in a grassy area of James Smith Cree Nation. Police said that the 31-year-old's injuries did not appear to be self-inflicted.

When asked by reporters if Myles Sanderson was a suspect in his brother's death, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore responded: "It is an investigative avenue that we are following up on, but we can't say that definitively at this point."

On Wednesday afternoon, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a 911 call regarding a break-in.

"Sanderson was standing outside of a residence, northeast of Wakaw, and was armed with a knife. Sanderson stole a white Chevrolet Avalanche truck with Saskatchewan license plate 953-LPL and fled the property," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said. "The homeowner was not injured."

At around 3:30 p.m., the Chevrolet Avalanche was racing over 90 mph before the truck was diverted off the highway and into a ditch, according to police.

"Police officers surrounded the vehicle and through verbal identification, confirm the identity of the driver to be Myles Sanderson," the statement from the RCMP read. "He was arrested by police and taken into custody. A knife was located inside the vehicle."

Police said "shortly" after his arrest, Sanderson "went into medical distress." He was transported to a hospital in Saskatoon, where he was pronounced dead.

Police found a knife in the stolen truck.

An independent, external investigation into the incident will be conducted by the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatchewan Incident Response Team.

Blackmore said on Wednesday night, "This evening our province is breathing a collective sigh of relief, as Myles Sanderson is no longer at large. I can confirm that he is no longer a threat and there is no risk to the public relating to this investigation."

A reporter asked Blackmore if Myles was responsible for the knife attacks. She replied, "Our witness accounts that we have received have indicated that Myles Sanderson was the person responsible." Blackmore added that an investigation is still hashing out the details. Thus far, investigators have conducted 120 interviews regarding the mass stabbing.

Police said it appeared that some of the victims were deliberately targeted, while others were attacked at random.

As far as Sanderson's motive, Blackmore stated, "His motivation may at this time and forever only be known to Myles."

"I hope that this brings them some closure in that they can rest easy tonight knowing that Myles Sanderson is no longer a threat to them," Blackmore said.

Myles Sanderson had a violent criminal record, but the parole board released him

Blackmore noted that Sanderson had a previous criminal history, "Myles' record dates back quite a number of years, and it includes both property and persons crimes."

The BBC reported, "Parole documents show Myles Sanderson has a decades-long criminal record, including 59 criminal convictions since he was 18, including assault, threats, and robbery."

Sanderson previously attempted to stab his in-laws to death.

PBS reported that court documents said Sanderson made a stabbing attack on his in-laws Earl Burns and Joyce Burns in 2015.

Earl Burns was one of the fatalities from Sunday's stabbing rampage.

Court files show Sanderson has a history of domestic abuse and was charged with assaulting his partner, Vanessa Burns, at least five times since 2011.

In 2018, Sanderson was convicted for attempting to stab two other men in the First Nation with a cheese knife, according to court records.

Myles Sanderson had been sentenced to more than four years in prison for crimes – but was released by the parole board.

In February, Sanderson was released by parole board member Betty Ann Pottruff after he was deemed not to be a risk to the public. The parole board said Sanderson would "not present an undue risk" and his early release would "contribute to the protection of society" by facilitating his rehabilitation, according to the BBC.

"Your criminal history is very concerning, including the use of violence and weapons related to your index offenses and your history of domestic violence which victimized family, including your children, and non-family," the parole board decision stated. "You are assessed as a moderate risk of violence and domestic violence by the psychologist. While your behavior in custody has not demonstrated significant concerns, there have been some minor incidents and it is concerning that the healing lodge also noted behavioral concerns. Then when released to the community, you were deceitful regarding your living arrangements and there was certainly reason for concern that you were at risk of returning to a cycle of domestic violence in the circumstances surrounding your suspension. You were in breach of your conditions, which included reporting relationships."

The psychologist's assessment was based on risk measurement tools and a “clinical impression.” The psychologist was in favor of day and full parole as long as Sanderson "maintained positive institutional behavior."

The National Post reported, "The psychologist’s report laid out important 'dynamic precipitating factors' that are associated with Sanderson's domestic violence, including anger, jealousy, trust issues, poor interpersonal problem-solving skills."

Sanderson’s community parole supervisor was against the statutory release. The parole supervisor noted that Sanderson lied to him about where he was living. His release was contingent on him living with a family member, maintaining sobriety, getting a job, and attending therapy.

Before their deaths, the Sanderson brothers had been charged with a total of four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, and two counts of breaking and entering a residence.

10 dead, 15 others hospitalized in Saskatchewan stabbing spree, manhunt underway in Canada



At least 10 people are dead and 15 others were hospitalized from a mass stabbing attack in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The two suspects in the Saskatchewan stabbing spree were still on the run as of Sunday night, and a manhunt is underway.

Around 5:40 a.m. on Sunday, the Saskatchewan RCMP Divisional Operational Communications Center received multiple calls that several people had been stabbed. The stabbings occurred in 13 separate locations throughout the James Smith Cree Nation community and in the village of Weldon, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stated.

At 9:45 a.m., law enforcement located several victims from multiple locations – including one victim outside the original knife attack areas, police said. The police then realized that some of the victims were attacked at random.

At 12:07 p.m., authorities noted that there were 10 people dead and another 15 people who were injured and taken to various local hospitals.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police named the suspects as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson. Police describe Damien Sanderson as a 31-year-old male, standing at 5'7" and weighing 155 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Myles Sanderson is a 30-year-old male, at a height of 6'1" and 240 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

\u201cUpdate #5 for Dangerous Person Alert issued by Melfort RCMP: \n\n#RCMPSK received a report the suspects may traveling in the Arcola Ave area around 11:45 a.m. in Regina, SK in a black, Nissan Rogue with SK license 119 MPI.\u201d
— RCMP Saskatchewan (@RCMP Saskatchewan) 1662316763

The suspects are believed to be driving in a black Nissan Rogue SUV with the Saskatchewan license plate: "119 MPI."

The suspects are considered armed and dangerous. The public is instructed not to approach the suspects or their vehicle.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement, "Currently, we are actively looking for the two suspects, helping the victims and investigating the many crime scenes. We are dedicating a maximum number of resources to this investigation, and thank our many provincial and inter-provincial policing partners who are providing additional support."

Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore – the Commanding Officer of Saskatchewan RCMP – asked the public for assistance in locating the two suspects.

"At this stage in our investigation, we believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspects and others have been attacked randomly," Blackmore said. "Let me be clear, we are still looking for the two suspects. We are asking residents across Saskatchewan and our neighboring provinces to be vigilant."

"At this point, we don't know if they have changed vehicle since this morning," the statement read. "Their location and direction of travel are unknown. This is why we need everyone in the province to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity by calling 911 immediately."

Blackmore vowed to "use every resource we have to locate and arrest these two individuals."

"Our thoughts are with the many victims – deceased and injured – their families, friends, and communities," Blackmore concluded. "It's horrific what has occurred in our province today."

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has said he is "closely monitoring" the developments of the Saskatchewan stabbing spree.

"The attacks in Saskatchewan today are horrific and heartbreaking. I’m thinking of those who have lost a loved one and of those who were injured," Trudeau tweeted. "We are closely monitoring the situation, and urge everyone to follow updates from local authorities. Thank you to all the brave first responders for their efforts on the ground."

Nearly one-third of Canadians broke pandemic restrictions: survey

29 percent of people surveyed broke at least one COVID-19 measure, typically failing to wear a mask and disregarding gathering limits.

Saskatchewan's lockdown restrictions found to violate the Charter

"While lockdown measures were presumably imposed with the good intention of saving lives, good intentions do not meet the Charter's test of demonstrable justification," the legal analysis said.
