Story summary

Here are the summarized news stories

A recent survey on perceived safety in Canadian cities has ranked Quebec City as the safest, while Winnipeg is seen as the least safe. The survey, conducted by Liaison Strategies, asked residents to rate their perception of city safety, with 57% of respondents considering Quebec City very or somewhat safe and only 17% considering it unsafe. In contrast, Winnipeg scored a net safety rating of -22%, meaning that more people consider it unsafe than safe.

In related news, a pair of biological males who identify as women have dominated women's golf championships in Alberta and British Columbia, winning five titles between them this summer. The golfer Amy Hamm argues that these individuals are "only partly to blame" for their wins, suggesting that the issue lies with the rules allowing them to compete in the women's category.

In another article, economist Vincent Geloso critiques Canada's approach to trade tariffs, suggesting that instead of retaliating against the US, the country should pursue policies like unilateral trade liberalization and business deregulation.
