1st, do you even want a candidate who has lost every one of the 4 times they’ve run in the past? #vanpoli#nothankyou
Oger claims to share @mark4vancouver and @progress_van’s values so please let potential voters know if you share Oger’s values and if these tweets reflect the level of judgement you think is needed for a position of public trust. #vanpoli
Do @mark4vancouver & @progress_van support staging a counter protest flash mob at a Montreal Massacre Memorial event? An event to memorialize murdered women! #vanpoli
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support the targeting and attempted doxing of a citizen expressing perfectly Charter protected opinions at a political event? #vanpoli
(Apologies and thanks to Sign Woman - a true shero!)
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support Oger’s authoritarian attempt to shut down a legal event, hosting a legitimate discussion of women’s human rights, contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedom? #vanpoli
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support denying the existence of the protected human rights category of sex, women’s rights to privacy and dignity and the ability to organize on the basis of those rights. #vanpoli#mythicalvoters
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support calling female inmates (the majority of whom are aboriginal), liars and disparaging them as “ not blushing schoolgirls” during a discussion of their human right to safety and dignity. #vanpoli
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support repeatedly calling women a slur (terf) and likening them to genocidal nazis for discussing and seeking to exercise their Charter granted sex based rights? #vanpoli#nothankyou
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support calling it “predictable blowback” when hateful graffiti was scrawled and a dead rat was nailed to the doors of a rape crisis centre facility. Bonus blaming the victims & lying about the BCHR Code and a SCC case outcome. #vanpoli.
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support telling women who don’t want to be compelled to touch male genitals as part of their job under threat of a human rights complaint by a credibly accused sexual predator to “grow up”? #vanpoli
Does @mark4vancouver and @progress_van support Oger blaming their earlier support of a credibly accused sexual predator (who was found to be misusing the BCHRT process) on those women that Oger disparaging calls “terfs”. #vanpoli
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support Oger’s self promoting exploitation of an extremely sensitive image of a young girl without the permission of her family or the charity they created in her name. (no image shown for obvious reasons) #vanpoli
Does @progress_van and @mark4vancouver support Oger accusing a mother seeking a single sex service for her daughter, (a victim of rape!!) of hate propaganda. Bonus lying about the incredible high rate of violence, sexual and otherwise, faced by women #vanpoli
So once again I ask, does @progress_van have a code of conduct for their candidates and do these images from @morganeogerbc’s SM reflect the values of that code and represent the level of judgement expected of candidates running with @mark4vancouver? #vanpoli#nothankyou!
Earlier this year, I ran into Stephen Quinn of CBC’s Early Edition reporting on Robson Street. I was 99% sure that it was him but asked just in case. He said no & then laughed while admitting it was. /1
I added that detail because it felt patronizing and I don’t think he would have said that same thing to a grown man. Fellow women, I think you will know what I mean.
I asked him if he remembered the JY vs the Waxing Ladies case. He said vaguely so I brought him up to speed./2
Then I asked him why on his current affairs show, he never once covered the many human rights complaints brought against women with small business, many of whom were immigrants whose businesses were ruined./3
Linda Blade @coachblade is on the stand testifying for @preta_6 in her @BCnursemidwife Disciplinary Hearing.
#IStandWithAmyHamm #nurseswillspeak #sexnotgender
LB is arguing that Coach should be qualified to testify as an expert witness because she can speak to the social value of Amy’s speech and factors relevant to the Amy’s Canadian Charter speech rights. /2
The College is questioning @coachblade on her report and past educational background and CV. College has comments about the relevancy of Coach’s purposed testimony. /3
BF just objected to Amy using the term “trans identified male”. Want the panel to rule that she has to use the term “Trans woman”. LB objects, says BF not entitled to compel speech./1
BF say BCHRT (or maybe it was one of her cases, she’s not sure) said that everyone has to use the terms and pronouns recognized by what we would call gender identity ideology. /2
LB says human rights code not implicated in this hearing. There is no “trans woman” seeking a service. Says if we are forced to use compelled speech, then maybe she should object to the use of the term “cis women”./3
Sorry to say that I missed most of the morning due to a migraine but will try to get the notes from others and update as I can. Here we go./2
The Disciplinary Panel has qualified Dr.Cantor as an expert witness. We can tell from the discussion that Amy’s team has had to redact portions of his report so his qualification has been modified but this is still very good news./3
As the hearing starts, it is announced that there will be an “in camera” session. This means that the public and witnesses are excluded, only the Panel and lawyers will attend and this portion will be excluded from the public transcript. /2
Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of “in camera” for those who want it.
Hearing begins with Lisa B from Amy’s team addressing Dr. A Scheim, potential rebuttal witness to Dr, James Cantor improperly being in the participant galley, listening to the proceeding almost the entire day. /2
LB says that not only did she point out that Dr.C has prematurely logged in and ask him to log out but that the College’s lawyer had made it clear that Dr. S was not available until November, hence the need to split their case. /3
