In an at-times scathing report tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday, Morris Fish says his review confirmed that the nature, extent and human cost of sexual misconduct in the military remains as rampant as in 2015

In 2015, retired Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps released her own report that revealed a highly sexualized culture within the military that was hostile to women and victims of inappropriate and criminal sexual behaviour

The review, mandated by law, says the military should eliminate the requirement that victims report incidents to the chain of command.

The review also recommends that the military should eliminate the requirement that victims report incidents to the chain of command.

Fish says sexual assaults should not be investigated or prosecuted by military authorities until a victim’s bill of rights is finally implemented.

In the United States, some companies are struggling to find workers, despite the millions of Americans who remain jobless after pandemic layoffs.

Job openings have surged, but small business are also reporting difficulties in filling positions.

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Parents struggling to find child care, lingering health concerns, or generous income supports are some reasons why some workers are in no rush to accept job offers, analysts say.

Now that Canada is starting to reopen, can it expect the same?

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
As it stands, Canada has a shorter path to recovery, in part thanks to its wage-subsidy program. It's recouped 83% of its pandemic job losses, next to the U.S.'s 63%, keeping employees "a little more engaged" with their employers, an economist said.

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Trudeau’s comments followed a report from @davidmilstead that Air Canada paid $10-million in “COVID-19 Pandemic Mitigation Bonuses” to executives and managers earlier this year, while it was negotiating a bailout.

Ontario’s latest #COVID19 epidemiological report has some experts saying the province should be prepared for the rise of a more tenacious version of the coronavirus, even as more people are vaccinated.

tgam.ca/variant
The report shows a dip in prevalence of known variants of concern, but a possible suggestion is that they’re being outcompeted by a more transmissible variant that tests haven’t directly identified.

tgam.ca/variant Image
The obvious candidate is the B.1.617.2, a sub-branch previously associated with India.

Ontario’s two million public school students will learn remotely for the last four weeks of the academic year as the government looks to keep its reopening plans for the summer on track, rather than have children return to the classroom.

Ontario schools have been closed for 23 weeks – longer than anywhere else in Canada.

theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

From 72 hour book quarantines to constant sanitation measures, experts are saying it’s time to move past “hygiene theatre” – cleaning behaviours that give people a sense of security, but are actually unlikely to reduce COVID-19 transmission.

tgam.ca/hygiene
Research has repeatedly shown that the risk of surface transmission is relatively low and can be addressed through conventional cleaning, the scientific director of Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table said.

tgam.ca/hygiene
The environmental impact of disposable wipes, the cost of disinfecting supplies, and the burden on restaurant and retail employees are further reasons to start being pragmatic about hygiene practices
