How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

A black granite memorial plaque features a circular arrangement of names in white text, bordered by silver rivets. At the top center is an emblem of a bee with gears. The text reads "in memoriam" followed by two columns of names: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, Barbara Klucznik Widajewicz. At the bottom: "6 DÉCEMBRE 1989".

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured.
The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Based on the last few calls, the @cfl is getting worried that Harris is going to overshadow a second golden boy

Braid: An appalling, unjust law drives Alberta teachers back to work Alberta teacher are going back to work, but the law that drives them lingers as a dangerous attack on rights

The absolute incompetence of @cfl officiating is breathtaking #cfl

Agreed. That’s why I said don’t like that type of hit being described as just being physical. Using that language downplays the recklessness.

Listening to the TSN panel trip over themselves to excuse the hit was gross. Too much talk about intent (“I talked to him and he’s a good guy”), making excuses (Dyce should bring the “same energy” to his players protecting their QB), or that that type of play is just “physical” or “on the edge” 🤮

Danceland Ballroom in Manitou Beach (near Watrous) is a must for Sask history. We had a great lunch at Oda Coffee and Wine Bar last summer, sitting on the deck looking out onto the beach. Lots of local artists too. Definitely recommend a swim in the mineral waters of Little Manitou.

Some facts about LPC performance under PM Mark Carney’s leadership:

Largest vote total for any party ever
Largest LPC share of popular vote since 1980
Largest seat count in QC since 1980
Largest seat count in BC ever
Seats in every province

Highlight of the panel tonight was watching her face while Kenney tried to spin sh*t into gold. So good.

A projection on the outside of the Old North Church reading "Let the WARNING ride forth ONCE MORE: TYRANNY is at OUR DOOR"

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

Just a reminder,

When Harper was PM and needed help and guidance he never asked Pierre for help...
He asked Mark Carney.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

As we watch Trump's attack on universities, remember that Poilievre promises to appoint a "Free Speech Guardian" for universities.
A university could lose its federal funding if this politically appointed "guardian" recommends it.

A Twitter screenshot of a quoted tweet. The first is by JD Vance, saying: Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of “Slava Ukraini” protestors followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. The second, from Tim Miller, says: Dozens are dead in Ukraine because you stopped giving them the intelligence that protected the country from bombs so you can probably handle some yelling in a free country, boss.

This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being “uncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are “intolerant” and “extreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

Worth noting that the Order of Canada is granted (and stripped) by the Governor-General and the current GG, Mary Simon, is an actual Indigenous women who negotiated recognition of Inuk ppl in the CdM constitution, was part of the creation of Nunavut, and a well-regarded diplomat.

Today reminded me of my fave quote from @victorlavalle.bsky.social unbelievably good book “ Lone Women” (set in homestead-era Montana) “This land is trying to kill every single one of us, let me tell you. And we keep each other alive.”

A man on a white lab coat walks away from the camera, surrounded by rubble. Two Israeli tanks look ahead.

This is the lash photograph of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, taken as he walks, unflinching, towards the Israeli tanks. An absolutely harrowing image.

Based on your post I’d recommend “In Her Defense” by @janapruden.bsky.social. Two seasons each telling one story with compassion and respect for the subjects. I was totally drawn in.
