@cbcnews.ca I want an answer from my public broadcaster, pls. Why did CBC’s headline about the new Epstein release qualify a victim’s evidence as β€œuncorroborated?” Words have meaning and that word creates a vile insinuation (contrary to Cdn law) that a victim’s evidence alone is insufficient.

It’s the nature of sex assault (and many other crimes) that it is rarely witnessed by benign 3rd party witnesses. Cdn law recognizes that. I’d hope our public broadcaster would too. Be less misogynistic in the year of our Lord 2026

@cbcnews.ca Interestingly in your story about the release of child sex assault allegations against DT you noted they were β€œuncorroborated.” why? To undermine the witness? This is not the dark ages and evidence of SA victims does NOT need to be corroborated. Perhaps you meant β€œuntested.” Do better

Lol! Thanks, Captain obvious. Sadly, that has nothing to do with my point - which you unfortunately didn’t understand but still commented on.

You are not arguing in good faith here. Words have meaning. If you want to argue against the plain meaning of words set out one after the other in a deliberate order at a specific time and for a specific reason in an official statement, you’d best have a strong argument for why

Yeah that’s totally what I said. Support for the rule of law = support for an unlawful regime. How specious and disingenuous.

There is no ambiguity to: β€œCanada supports the United States acting…”. The US is acting (illegally) and our PM says he supports it. In our name. I want to be clear as a Canadian that I still support the rule of law. There cannot be exceptions or it is meaningless

I’m not reading the Nationalist Post, thanks. If you think there’s a justification for our PM’s failure to clearly condemn an act of aggression that arises from a breach of American and International law, then you can articulate that reason

@mark-carney.bsky.social how can you support an illegal military action? Trump did not have approval to attack Iran as constitutionally required. Canada is a rule of law country, is it not? Or perhaps as a proud Cdn and lawyer, I’ve dedicated my life to an illusion not shared by our PM.

As a Canadian, I expect our government to condemn the targeting of schools and murder of children, not support the murderers.

Americans, correct me if I’m wrong but did your military not just accept and follow an illegal order? What happens now?

There’s also the whole question about whether fasting has any of the same beneficial effects on the physiology of people who can get pregnant. There’s a lot of reason to believe fasting is harmful to female reproductive biology. For obvious reasons.

Oh I agree! I was only proposing a temporary solution. We need proper regulations and regulatory enforcement for sure

I look up info on the
Manufacturer/producer/importer online and so far the info that the app gives me has been correct. I personally will buy items that are not Canadian but which are from countries I’m willing to support - if I can’t find a Canadian product.

There are some really good apps out there that I find useful. In particular I’ve found O SCANada to be reliably accurate

This was blatantly, even if just reflexively, an attempt to push women out of the public sphere - regardless of their accomplishments in it. This was men claiming their inherent right to take up all the space. And it’s so ingrained that calling it out looks like overreaction. Fuck the silencing

Politically the women’s team is a lot less able to express their disappointment should they wish to than non-funding dependent people online. And it affects us ALL when the equal achievement of women is very publicly denigrated by male colleagues. Prior β€œsupport” doesn’t cancel out the disrespect

What I don’t understand is what is the disproportionate response you speak of? People are expressing their anger online and pushing back on a toxic message. That’s it. The only possible consequence to the players is hurt feelings. And apparently that’s unlikely

Sorry for presuming about your privilege. Our responses to insult/threat are different, though. I respect yours - but I’m not going to silently let the equal achievements of women be denigrated to β€œless than” by an asshole kid. I won’t be told I’m overreacting, either. You’re 2 for 2 on cliches btw

No one has ever tried to keep you out of the public sphere, telling you it’s not your place or your right and no one is actively trying to do that now. As a single mother and a lawyer I can tell you the world tries mighty hard to force woman into the shadows of the private sphere. All the damn time.

I’d ask you to really consider for a moment whether what you see as proportionate may be influenced by your position/experience in life (I admit I assume you are a man) Perhaps you don’t casual disrespect in the public sphere as harm bc you’ve never been shoved out if the public sphere before

I sang along to this song on family road trips when I was little, and did the same with my kids. It’s deep in my Canadian soul β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️
