Edmonton banning knife sales in convenience stores

The city said a new bylaw aimed at convenience stores will make the city safer.

On Tuesday, the City of Edmonton announced it had passed a new bylaw limiting the kinds of knives that can be sold at those stores.

“Convenient and quick access to knives makes our community less safe,” said Mayor Amarjeet Sohi. “Building a city that’s safer for everyone is our top priority, and by removing these easily accessible potential weapons from convenience stores, all Edmontonians will feel more safe.”

Trump bans taxpayer funding of child sex-change operations: ‘Chemical and surgical mutilation’

President Trump signed an Executive Order Tuesday evening banning federal money from going toward child sex-change operations, referring to the procedures as “chemical and surgical mutilation” and calling the phenomenon of minors altering their sex a “dangerous trend.”

“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” the order read.
