Whoa.

Opinion: Who counts as 'real people'? Premier Eby’s comment perpetuates legacy of erasure Aboriginal title decisions, including the landmark Cowichan decision, are an affirmation of justice long delayed.

GOLD #4 🇨🇦 SUMMER MCINTOSH

CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD

Summer McIntosh breaks her own 400m IM championship record to win her fourth individual gold medal, tying Katie Ledecky as the only two women to have won 4 gold at one worlds.

Five medals overall. One of the greatest meets ever.

OPINION | As women's sports grows, so do the threats to racialized athletes | CBC Sports Online abuse poisoned the recent Women's Euros championship. The reality is that despite all the well-intentioned programs in the world, racialized and misogynist hatred can fester.

I decided to address an uncomfortable truth: the rise of women's sports creates an increase in racist and misogynistic abuse.

Cecile Dionne, Who Found Fame and Despair as a Quintuplet, Dies at 91 The Dionnes, the first quints known to have survived infancy, became a global sensation and prey for the greedy. And Cecile came to resent it all. Only one of the five now survives.

CANADIAN DOUBLE DOUBLE

Summer McIntosh wins her second gold medal in as many nights. Another dominant win. Two for two.

And how about this. After so many 4th place finishes Mary-Sophie Harvey wins her first individual world championship medal. What a moment for her.

A note from me on the significance of the recent move partially to decriminalise #abortion in England and Wales

Against a backdrop of rising prosecutions for ‘later’ pregnancy endings, #decrim in Northern Ireland through human rights mechanisms, and uneven commitment to decriminalisation as a whole

Opinion: Restorative justice could have offered a better path for everyone involved in the Hockey Canada trial Despite myths that restorative justice is about leniency for the accused, Canada is well placed to invest in a rigorous process that offers a path to accountability and meaningful change

Excellent piece by Jennifer Llewellyn @restorativelab.bsky.social about how restorative justice offers a better way to address harm, engage communities, and bring about culture change in sexual violence cases.

Judges who say witnesses are "not credible" mean: I think they're lying

Saying that to a person who has reported experiencing sexual violence is deeply problematic

There are other ways to find that the Crown has not met the burden of proof required to put someone in jail

Support, strength and allyship for all survivors today.
