Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.

- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors

- The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

- The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.

Quick Glance: Debate Over Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth in Kansas
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a law that aimed to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth in the state.
- In a message on Friday, Kelly stated that this divisive legislation targets a small group of Kansans by imposing government mandates on them and dictating to parents how to best raise and care for their children.
- She had previously vetoed a similar bill one year ago, and companies have made it clear that they are not interested in doing business with states that discriminate against workers and their families.
- The Republican-backed bill may be able to override the governor's veto and restricts the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for minors, with exceptions for specific cases.
