!["Gentle parenting [sic] What a marketing SHIT show. I gave you what you needed 2 decades ago, emotional intelligence and boundaries with consequences this [sic] is the fine balance required, now look at all these parents confused" …Jo Frost](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlnigskqpixp5277v6dqczdf/bafkreiah6pqvk7hyspned3hdm6rrcdmwr5c5cxmzptebfn3sdnhonlavrq)
!["I SAID WHAT I SAID.
And now you, the parent, are getting scolded for 'over correcting' well, it is you doing however who do you think led you there? Yes, the parenting arena, for simply following advice you thought was sound on social media led by some with very clear agendas and it weren't to help YOU but themselves. I'm reading your emails, you're confused and don't know what to do for the best. It's not right you're in this space.
Let’s be clear: there are 4 types of parenting styles, and when we spend most of our time in the authoritative space where I’ve lived [ NOT authoritarian big difference ] for decades, working in real homes with real families with real issues your children thrive, and your family stays strong and connected.
I gave you that foundation over 20 years ago publicly and I’ll say it now you need to have discernment out there on social media.
There are a lot of voices and not all sound, I see you, I - see - you, and I'm coming for you on behalf of the children, y'all talking about parenting but many can’t walk the talk. No wisdom. No overall lived expertise... And that’s not okay...it's morally wrong, I feel protective of you all because your family matters. Your children matter.
Parenting isn’t about “doing trends.” It’s about applying what truly works for your family. Jo xx"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlnigskqpixp5277v6dqczdf/bafkreicgc67vh3vidnz5p5skkp2qaxv2vu2hrtexlwhlkpolxlpndeftne)
![In a CBC news article, journalist Santiago Arias Orozco explains Poilievre wants to make Churchill's port an 'arctic gateway'.
From that article:
"At the rally, the conservative leader said he would also create a shovel-ready zone, or a designated area already permitted for construction, up to the Port of Churchill — "an arctic gateway" from where Canada should be shipping "all manner of resources."
Earlier on Saturday Poilievre said there needs to be a plan to export oil out of the northern Manitoba port, after he was asked if he would honour the federal Liberal commitment made in February to work with Manitoba to finish restoring the rail line to Churchill and restore and upgrade infrastructure at the port itself.
The notion of using the port to ship oil has been studied and abandoned in the past but has been revived as an idea in recent months amid Canada's escalating trade war with the United States and the desire to find new markets for Canadian energy.
At [yesterday's] rally, Poilievre... called for the Liberal environmental review law or Bill C-69, also sometimes known as 'no more pipelines act' to be repealed."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlnigskqpixp5277v6dqczdf/bafkreigu5s6oanpmnhjxmrmx56lwuwt7shzdbctt53okmmgaq62is2maaa)
