Instead of anyone saying "Right, so why aren't we talking to the premiers?" we saw the federal government create a bunch of carrots and sticks and just implicate themselves further while the premiers once again skated while the situation got progressively worse.
How is this any way to run a country?

My head is going to explode from the sheer civic illiteracy that We The Media have fostered by making everything a federal issue, and being absolutely allergic to holding premiers to account for failures in their jurisdictions.

A lot of true crime makes my skin crawl. Beyond the stories themselves, there's a gross exploitive energy to them that I can't shake.
So I was really delighted when the production company reached out to us to ensure Canadian viewers had their own supports listed at the end. This should be standard!

But to be charged with multiple counts of sexual exploitation and to have the charges stayed because you're too old and frail to go through a trial? Unconscionable.

Some clinicians don't offer pain management because they believe it's unnecessary.
New recommendations for cervical and uterine procedures, released last week, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says there is "an urgent need" for this to change.

Never forget what Jackson Katz has repeatedly observed in his work : Men in the world of sport, the military and fraternities routinely use gang rape as a team bonding exercise AND exploration of their sexuality. "It's not gay because there's a chick here" but she is only an object to denigrate.

The uOttawa hockey team was acquitted & the Hockey Canada team will probably be acquitted, too but that doesn't change the fact that in both cases, the men themselves admitted to behaviour that was downright abhorrent.
