The only bright spot in this absolutely horrifying, infuriating, and heartbreaking story is the unearthly strength that Andrea Robin Skinner has somehow managed to find after suffering abuse and then the ultimate betrayal. thestar.com/opinion/contribu…
I saw I Used To Be Funny yesterday at TIFF, followed by a Director Q&A with @AllyPankiw. What an incredible movie about the community impact of sexual violence and how community is essential to healing. It’s playing at TIFF all week, check it out if you can.
In all seriousness, 95% of what I’ve learned about actually *practising* law as a litigator has been from “litigation war stories” — so much of what you need to know isn’t really written down anywhere, which is a stark contrast from (law) school
Law schools used to just be hanging out with experienced lawyers at an inn for a few years, while drinking and listening to litigation war stories. Maybe we should try that again.

Extremely proud to have given oral submissions with my colleague Erin Ellis on this Bill at Committee! Our proposed amendments were adopted by the government, ensuring all victims of crimes of a sexual nature/purpose & of child abuse are captured by these provisions
Through Bill 157, Ontario has made changes to the Victims’ Bill of Rights, 1995, and its regulation to make it easier for victims of certain crimes to sue their convicted offender for emotional distress.

Municipal, provincial, territorial governments — as well as the feds — already WAY over use the "advice to government" exemption, our reporting has shown. This decision is going to make it much worse. It's not just the ruling, it's the language used and the message it sends.
The Court has allowed the appeal in Ontario (Attorney General) v. Ontario (Information and Privacy Commissioner). It ruled that mandate letters delivered by the Premier of Ontario to his cabinet ministers are exempt from disclosure: scc-csc.ca/case-dossier/cb/2…. #CdnLaw

Does @ABDanielleSmith understand that 24-40% of homeless youth are 2SLGBTQIA+?
Your policies are going to cause irreparable harm to some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
Shame on you. – at Ottawa, Ontario

Could it be that there’s a ubiquitous form of violence that is overwhelmingly committed against women and girls, the healing from which is inhibited by stigma, victim blaming, and widespread social indifference to or support for perpetrators? No; it’s that women have bad brains.
PTSD is twice as prevalent in women as in men and researchers are not sure why. Recent studies have however shed light on how estrogen and hormonal cycles can influence PTSD.
This article explores the connection between PTSD and the menopausal transition. buff.ly/3nxBasU
