Heather Mallick: Why would female lawyers represent men in sexual crimes? I don’t object to diversity hiring — it has let women, the disabled, and racialized people into workplace once reserved for white men — but you’d think the diverse would

The worst part about this article (besides all of it) is that it takes up the space for someone, with a clue and with respect for the role of defence lawyers (and working women) to have a nuanced conversation about navigating these kinds of tensions...

I actually no longer use cycle as transportation if I have to be on any street without a bike lane.

I got yelled at three times on one trip to "get off the road" a few weeks ago -- Ottawa is not safe for cyclists or pedestrians.

I see it as prt of an entitled & car centric social shift.

I am genuinely wondering what part of it is brilliant?
The part where she calls women diversity hires?
The absolutely lack of critical thinking or respect for the constitution?
The lack of logic or a point?

Every single day this happens now

Sadly so many of us knew but it was “better than the alternative” ans not voting for him was “voting for cons”

Democracy in action folks! Nothing to see or do here!

Alternatively we are witnessing the Western leaders clearly admit that “the law” and “legality” is in an idea, one that they never have and never will be bound to or by.

And a disappointment

And the woman in the electric scooter looks like she’s absolutely had enough of this shit

“Democracy” and the “reorientation” in Ottawa ..

God bless @mirgray.bsky.social for trying to be civic minded.

The so called state of Israel.

3 of 700 Law students graduating from University of Ottawa participated in solidarity action with Palestine yesterday.

Three.

And UOttawa is Canadas “Social
Justice” law school.

This bad ass woman put her money, and body, where her mouth is and I don’t wanna EVER hear another man say shit about her.

A single child (now grown) who, among others, made change.

May she inspire us all.

The new Law & Order lacks the soul of the old one.

The doggedly pro corporate and pro-prosecution / incarceration storylines miss the mark completely

And their representations of the law sucks now.

Absolutely a shell of old-school L&O — Briscoe is rolling in his grave.

Dear LSO,

It’s child sex abuse material, not pornography.

Sincerely,
Horrified Applicant

Once a spineless twit, always a spineless twit, eh Schwartzy?

I think it is quite alarming the general lack of collective introspection here in the real world about the rate at which men kill women.

Or the rate at which men inflict sexual and non-deadly violence on women.

@yutikalcimite.bsky.social shall I go on? Cause the list .. she LONG.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHH

I KNOW this is click bait but ….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Literally what 450k can buy you.

The across across from my mom went up for sale for 450k

No renovations since the 80s, fully carpeted with wood panel walls — in rural Ontario where there is ZERO public transport and the closest hospital / place to buy shoes / affordable grocer is a 45 minute drive.

CBC headline reads: Alberta to change rules to ensure books in schools are 'age-appropriate' subhead reads: Minister says move spurred by novels depicting sexual content in libraries

Oh FUCK this.

We're not idiots. We know, from watching our neighbours to the south, exactly how this goes.

My 14 year old self is SCREAMING

I wanted this so bad ….

Graduating from a law school silent on Genocide is WILD.

I am unable to regulate the resulting cognitive dissonance.

It’s getting passed around with nothing but reverence for your quick thinking.

As a fellow no-game-face haver I learned a new skill!

Are we gunna talk about Ottawa Police Invited right-wing church to protests, or naw?

@stephanieplante.bsky.social turning off her camera to hide her horror during City of Ottawa meeting is the most relatable thing I’ve seen in a while.

Well that’s gross.

Not a hot take ,….. in my mind. At all.

And like I respectfully disagree with your take. Google worked BIG TIME but the goal wasn’t to serve the masses.

I believe the intention was control and I basin of privacy and they NAILED it

Which, fair, there is plenty to be made about but since when are people defending big tech?

Why is everyone so pressed?

Suggesting a tech portal wields control over information seems reasonable or at least uncontroversial
