“As a society, we continue to deny the straight line between the minimization of everyday violence against women and the more horrific forms of misogyny that eventually materialize. The groundwork for gender-based violence is laid out daily in a world that allows misogyny to be normalized.”
Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

The government of Canada and Ontario should ensure N95’s are used at all times in healthcare settings to protect patients and healthcare workers.
This is what the Canadian Standards Association new standards tell us to do!

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

No idea how Canada's Supreme Court will handle the notwithstanding question before it. But at the very least, politicians should be legally required to stand in front of mics and declare, "I, [politician name], think it necessary to override the rights of [group]." And then take questions.

For-profit healthcare is failing when it comes to saving money or providing care, but it's working when it comes to its actual purpose: stopping poor people from accessing the same healthcare as the wealthy.
It's class warfare. It's not even well-disguised class warfare, it's pretty blatant.

Back when I was still on Facebook, I asked my (mostly liberal) friends why they had stopped masking. Most said because their doctor weren't masking, so they know COVID's not a big deal. If medical settings required everyone to mask, people would get the message.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.
The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:
“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”
