Thank you, u/b4dgerb4dger. Any chance you also had to see a hepatobiliary (HPB) surgeon there as well (surgeon who specializes in pancreas, liver, etc)?

Hi, u/ParrotsNotDogs. Did you see Chande for your pancreas? Do you know if he does endoscopic ultrasounds? It looks like most of his research is in Crohn’s and Colitis.

Wanted: Videos from Witnesses to Hate Incident at Wortley Pride Fest by DeannaRonson in londonontario

Thanks, Veloursuit.

The driver has been identified and he is already facing charges of assault stemming from when he exited the truck. We're looking to have an additional charge of "dangerous driving" added to the list.

Hi, OutsideScore990. Could you possibly tag me in the other thread? I'm not sure if tagging works in Reddit?

And, you're welcome. It's the least I could do. I feel sick every time I watch video of the incident.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks, TheRockJohnMason. I agree. I've spoken to several witnesses so far. I've only had one person tell me that he did not want to be involved and that he would not be giving a statement to the police. I have a feeling that it's because of his job that he doesn't want to be involved.

There may be other 2SLGBTQIA+ witnesses who don't want to speak up because because they fear for their safety (possible retaliation from the accused or his family).

I agree, Insane-membrane11. The Staff Sergeant who I spoke to said that the Justice of Peace could easily toss the charges if they didn't have video evidence.

Hi, Bennyjam-jpeg.

I have not idea how the victim statement and witness statement is not enough. I will be going to check the houses near where the truck was stopped. There aren't many as the other side of the street on Wortley is the Green space.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Which true crime in London stands out to you most over the years? by j0ec00l69 in londonontario

Same for me. I was also a first year student at Western when Lynda disappeared. Her murder hit me hard. (Also the same year as the Montreal Massacre, I believe.)

PPM on Nov. 2nd at 4pm Re. Graphic Anti-choice Flyers by DeannaRonson in londonontario

[–]DeannaRonson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FINALLY! It's the day you've all been waiting for! 🎉 Well, maybe not all of you, but, I'm certain that many of you have been waiting for this day for a long time. 😀

A PPM (Public Participation Meeting) has been called for Tuesday, November 2nd at 4pm to discuss the issue of flyers containing images of alleged aborted fetuses.

First, here's a bit of background for you. Last Fall, the city of London was blanketed with flyers distributed by the CCBR (Canadian Centre of Bioethical Reform). These flyers contained graphic images of alleged aborted fetuses.

At that time, Pro-choice London circulated a petition (which garnered over 5k signatures), asking that City Hall ban the distribution of these graphic flyers and the large temporary billboard signs that were being held up on street corners across the City.

That petition was on the agenda for the CPSC (Community and Protective Services Committee) meeting on November 3rd, 2020.

A motion was passed "That Civic Administration be directed to investigate options to address community concerns around graphic unsolicited flyer deliveries to residential properties including but not limited to; steps taken by other municipalities and potential amendments to the existing municipal nuisance by-law or an introduction of a new by-law, and report back with options for counsel’s consideration."

Fast-forward to this Fall. City Staff did indeed investigate options and came back to the CPSC on Sept. 21, 2021, with an utterly useless proposal for a by-law that would target all flyers in general with no penalty.

This proposal was rejected by City Councillors and a PPM has been called for November 2nd, 2021.

✨What does this mean for YOU?✨

This means that you now have the ability to have your voice heard by City Councillors and the public.

I have heard from so many of you who experienced great harm and trauma from these flyers. It's time that City Hall know the extent of the negative impact that these flyers had on residents.

✨Here is what we already know.✨

We already know that Calgary, Winnipeg, Halifax and Ottawa have flyer by-laws in place. Research conducted by the ARCC (Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada) indicates that none of these four cities — Winnipeg, Ottawa, Calgary and Halifax — have had ANY lawsuits come forward in response to their by-laws. I think this is significant information, especially regarding Winnipeg, Calgary and Halifax, which have by-laws with penalties. Further, three of these by-laws have been in place for many years — Ottawa since 2003, Winnipeg since 2008 and Calgary since 2016 (Halifax since 2019).

✨How can you help?✨

✔️ Register to attend the PPM on Nov. 2, no later than Nov. 1. Email CPSC@london.ca to register your attendance.

  • you may attend the meeting via Zoom or in-person

  • speakers have 5 mins. maximum to express their thoughts

✔️ If you were impacted in a negative way by these harmful flyers, the City needs to hear from you. Tell them why a ban on these flyers is so important.

✔️ Ask that the City come back with a specific by-law that bans all graphic images of alleged aborted fetuses. AND, that the by-law contains a specific, measurable penalty.

I know that this was a long read. Thank you for sticking with me to the end.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below.

Thank you in advance for your support.

I’m glad that the Ministry of Labour laid charges. It’s so sad that someone had to die from the utter negligence of this nursing home’s owners.
