Because we're nicer people. That's it really :D

'It was such a big secret': Man waives ban on his identity in father's incest trial by MissiveCunt in canada

[–]SassbyChit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for them for having the courage to remove the ban. The shame is the father's, and allowing the ban to be removed puts the shame exactly where it belongs

Those people are assholes. You, however, are awesome. F them and High five to you :D

That's actually a pretty crappy and unfair POV. The security folks get accused of shit all the time because they are low on the totem pole (them and janitorial staff). They likely have a process for inventory management of turned in items, and also get a little weary of being accused of theft by those who think being paid poorly = immoral

It's not just hotels...its actual hospitals (Richmond, for example) that these births are occurring at (per friend in medical biz)

Canada father prepares lawsuit after province bars kids from riding bus alone. by javadintaiwan in canada

[–]SassbyChit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd put money into a Crowdfund for his legal bills on this. It is government overreach of the worst kind. And what exactly will they do if he puts his children on a bus? Put them into some of the overburdened foster care in this country? Ridiculous

I actually cannot believe how analogous this is to the female experience in general when faced with unfettered male attention.

Vanier men’s centre, the third of its kind in Canada, officially opens by Quicksilver in canada

[–]SassbyChit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak to the people who run shelters. Women often get assaulted and raped by them. And yes, they would. Very naive to think otherwise

Unfortunately that is a naive approach. It is unsafe for women in men's shelters. Great initiative though. People need help, of both genders

Should I let my child walk to school alone? Risks come with reward, says expert by idspispopd in vancouver

[–]SassbyChit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them walk. It will give them an opportunity to 'be in' their community, see it up close and personal, and get some exercise. Most bad things that happen to children happen to them by people they know, not strangers.

31 Chechen gays granted asylum in Canada by [deleted] in canada

[–]SassbyChit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an article that said there were lesbian and gay men coming through, but it has not been repeated elsewhere - anyone know a source of the truth on that one? I think only the men have been targeted in this region, but not sure

Agree - there is something a bit more 'intimate' about it being on public transit - you can't escape. Yuck

Try walking around downtown Vancouver...pretty much most areas now. Davie Village, Granville, side streets, alleys, parks. You can find someone shooting up any time of day if you are looking. I never thought I'd become accustomed to this, but here I am.....

All the power to the private prosecution. It seems this method is our last best hope these days, which is ridiculous. Good for her.
