Many experts view the Canadian legal response to elder abuse as being ineffective. Some have argued that we should adopt mandatory reporting laws similar to the US. A new study is relevant to that argument. This study found mandatory reporting to be ineffective.

I really enjoyed the past few days at the CALT conference. I participated on a panel on vulnerability, giving a presentation on vulnerability and marginalized older adults. The other panelists had very interesting topics and the panel was thought provoking. It was great meeting everyone.

This is where I have been for the past two days at a really interesting health law conference. I am now on my way to the Canadian Association of Law Teachers (CALT) conference in Saskatoon.

I went to a fabulous event this evening. "Drag out the vote", which had performances by drag queens and drag kings, plus a panel with the candidates from all parties except one (I'm sure you can guess...). It was intended to encourage voting, and, as a bonus, the admission fee went to a charity.
