Do you know why those sexually assaulted prefer the term "sexual assault survivor" over "sexual assault victim"?Because not only do we have to survive being assaulted, but we have to deal with those who blame us, those who don't believe us, then accept we likely never get justice

In June 2023, myself and a colleague testified at the Heritage Committee on Safe Sport. ourcommons.ca/documentviewer… I called for a registry/database to be developed, implemented & shared nation-wide to help prevent these very situations from happening. It is now three years later...

The Nanaimo Clippers said it has parted ways with Tyler King. He was arrested Friday at a Canada-U.S. border crossing in Ontario on child sexual exploitation charges.

I've been saying this for years: we have a legal system, not a justice system. A system that consistently fails the very people it's supposed to protect is a system that desperately needs to change.

The Liberals may chuckle when I advocate for victims' rights, but there's nothing funny about leaving the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime position vacant for almost a year. This government needs to stop putting victims second and start putting victims first.

When our healthcare system needs to work, it absolutely does. And once my pancreas gets itself back under control, I am ready to take on the world!

So this guy goes back and strangled his ex-wife 30 minutes after being released on bail. Now he's been released again. The judge considered his age, clean record & bail plan. But what did the judge consider with her? How did the court determine she would be safe this time?

Remember when the Liberals told us that their new bail bill would solve all the problems? It didn’t. It’s easy to blame judges and lawyers. But the blame lays with those who make the law that those judges & lawyers interpret. That means the blame lays with us, Parliament. Looks like we have further to go as legislators.

Do the BC Conservatives have a sexism problem? Outgoing MLA @amboultbee reflects on her tumultuous time in the B.C. Legislature with a unique perspective as both a BC Conservative and a New Democrat. This is VANCOLOUR @CHEK_News 📺

The Liberal government should be held accountable for Canadians losing faith in the parole system. The Public Safety Minister may dismiss these as allegations, but these are real stories involving real people and having a real impact. Watch and let me know whether you agree or not👇🏼

At what point do we start asking why people who sympathize with Nazis or believe being gay is wrong feel drawn to the Conservative Party? #bcpoli

Our local conservative candidate in Kootenay Central told a community member he is comfortable with all the Conservative views. My question is what are the Conservative views? 🧵 1/7

I work with & advocate for SA survivors - have for years & will always continue to do so. Add those dozens of women plus myself to this list. Fight for better services after SA? Absolutely. Campaign for change? Hell yeah! Change laws? You betcha! Turn into a bigot? Not once.

Thanks, Rachel. Add me to the list of someone who has experienced sexual violence and yet managed to NOT turn into a virulent bigot. (Also pretending it was one tweet and not many is even more egregious)

more chaos from Lorne Doerkson and crew. who else is hiding amongst the BC Cons - did they even vet their candidates? #bcpoli

Looks like Lorne Doerkson's candidate in Strathcona Jordan McIntosh thought he could use a nameless twitter account to say many awful, offensive things, including claims that Hitler didn't "specifically" hate jews and that the holocaust may not have been "the goal".

This debate has gone on for 96 minutes and it is still totally unclear what the BC Conservative is. Four leaders in 10 months. Zero plans in 96 minutes. #bcpoli

No one has an abortion at 28 weeks for the Hell of it. Third trimester abortions are extremely rare and are almost always driven by tragic and severe medical issues. #bcpoli

Replying to @ChrisPequin
Have you asked how many elective abortions were completed in the third trimester last year? That answer might help you figure out this is a bullshit policy that is meaningless.

So pleased to see a commitment from the BCNDP to a first-in-Canada perinatal mental health unit, expanded coverage for menopause care, the launch a province-wide women’s health strategy, and the inclusion of sexual and menstrual health services. mailchi.mp/bcndp/eby-to-impr…
