What can we do to protect health care providers and first responders from assault on the job? Bill S-233 tries to address the problem with tougher sentences after conviction. But that won't help one bit, if people aren't charged and prosecuted. And that won't happen if we don't end the culture of silence and stoicism, that prevents charges from being laid. Here's my own take on Bill S-233 - well-meaning legislation that will, I fear, accomplish very little to solve an urgent problem in our health care system. https://youtu.be/XgD_admKvNs?si=vqM-ezSEcW0Il36E #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #HealthCare #LCJC #Canada

Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky). Here's my exchange with CEO Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor in Chief @brodiefenlon. #CBC #Mastodon #X #Bluesky #SRC #Canada #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #TRCM #CanadianBroadcastingCorporation #SocialMedia https://youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E?si=msTknV5VyaI-drCD

The Famous 5 have such a dark complicated legacy, that celebrating Persons Day always brings mixed emotions. Five years ago, I created this video essay exploring the meaning of the Persons Case to me - and to Canadian constitutional history. Posting it again today, ICYMI. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=1KElQ2B2ovlNYGqy #PersonsDay #PersonsCase #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #yeg #yow #Canada #Alberta #eugenics #Vriend
