This is just all kinds of wrong. This man should not be getting money. He should be barred from teaching anywhere. #SexualHarassment This man hurt people. A lot of people.

The young woman involved (remember, she was 19 and he was in his late 50s) has decided not to go to trial and be re-victimised. This happens all too often.

I know some of the young women this man abused and bullied. And I believe them. The University is culpable as well. A learning institution has a responsibility to provide students with a safe learning environment. No one should be subjected to this kind of harassment.
In my 14 years of post-secondary education, I have encountered some toxic profs. But this really takes the cake. He crushed talented young musicians to feed his ego. He took advantage of his position. This is entirely shameful.
And now, to have the arbitrator, Arne Peltz, not only rule that the university owes him money, he also said he should get his teaching job back. That is not what unions are for. They are not for putting predators back in their hunting grounds. Shame on Mr. Peltz.
This is a gross miscarriage of justice. #IBelieveTheWomen
@umanitoba You need to do better. You knew what was happening and you ignored it because he was a star. Students deserve so much better. This man hurt people and you let it go on. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

If you die, they can't come for your organs all willy-nilly, even if your organs are desperately needed so a newborn baby can live. They just can't. Not unless you sign a donor card. As a corpse, you cannot be forced to sustain the life of another. #cdnpoli

Your next of kin can sign off on donating your organs, but you must be dead for that to happen. You cannot be made to save the life of anyone. Full stop. The government cannot decide you are going to donate a kidney to save someone. You have bodily autonomy. That means, you

Should there be legislation laying out conditions when a surgeon can remove an appendix? Should there be laws about whether or not a broken bone can be set, a virus treated, or a cancerous tumour excised? Abortion is a medical procedure. We don't have laws about other

medical procedures. We don't even have laws about whether or not vasectomies or lubal ligations are ok. Although I imagine some conservatives would like to legislate that next. On the one hand they say, "It's settled law", on the other hand, they say, "Canada is one of

Now, I understand why rich folks, the ones with big houses, and second houses they can go to for a vacation, and big boats, and motorhomes, and multiple cars, and who jet off on nice vactions to places other than their cottages, don't like what they think

Let's assume you are not a pilot, have never taken flying lessons. Do you believe you could fly a 747? Let's assume you are not a doctor, have never been to medical school. Do you believe you could successfully operate on a patient? So why do people who have never ...

I think we need to have a serious talk about predatory capitalism. This is going to be a rather long rant, so get comfy.

What this obscenely wealthy property developer is saying is monstrous. He says the quiet part out loud here. The uber wealthy want billions of people in poverty so they can grow their riches faster, and so workers will once again feel

grateful for their jobs and willing to work harder for less. This guy (Tim Gurner) and others like him see themselves and their financial goals as infinitely more important than the lives of most of the world's population.

We need to recognize that the #CanadianMedia really wants a CPC government. Why would they want that?

Good question.

There are a number of plausible reasons. And we must recognize that it is entirely possible that more than one reason is true.
1/18
The first, simplest, and most obvious reason is that some journalists actually strongly support the right side of the political spectrum. So much so that they cannot contain their enthusiasm for Poilievre, etc, and they allow it to override any journalistic ethics
2/18
they might have been taught.

Another possible reason, which seems plausible, is that main stream media is languishing, desperate for something exciting and lascivious to report. Peace order and good governance are lovely for living in but don't draw a lot
