Rick McGinnis: Blonde – Andrew Dominik’s “film about, but not a biopic of” Marilyn Monroe – was released on Netflix in September to what you could generously call mixed reviews.

In this same poll, 62 per cent said they believed abortion should be legal “in all or most [...]
On so-called “Safe Abortion Day” in September, most pro-abortion MPs acknowledged the day. In May and June when the Dobbs decision was leaked and officially released, overturning the infamous Roe decision, many federal and provincial pro-abortion politicians criticized the decision while you could count on one hand the number of pro-life MPs who applauded it. When Queen’s Park resumed in the summer [...]
