Struggling with this one.
Even after the events of this week, a long-time NHL executive reached out re Kyle's story and said to me, "I just don't understand how a little guy like Brad can molest an 6' 4" NHL player."

Educate yourself.

Artist Jaime Black created the #REDressProject to draw attention to the staggering number of Indigenous women who are no longer with us. Red dresses continue to be installed in public spaces and, as Jamie Black says, "evoke a presence through the marking of absence."
