And that’s the thing that’s bugged me ever since. When we talk about sports, we often talk about them in a silently gendered way. When we say Hockey Night in Canada, we mean men’s hockey. When we talk aboutwe’re talking about men’s teams. When it’s female athletes we’re referring to, we slide in the gender signifier: The women’s [insert your favourite sport here] team. You know, the other one. The one that isn’t the default. As for non-binary people, they’re left out of the mix entirely.
and a handful of female sports media personalities, the YWCA is calling on the major men’s sports leagues to “Add the M” to their logos .It’s a simple idea with a powerful message: Men’s sports and women’s sports should be treated the same way. When we have to add “women’s” but not “men’s” to a title, the gender tag becomes a sad qualifier, a quiet nod to being not-the-norm. Second best.

Bank of Canada's Tiff Macklem to chair Basel Committee on Banking SupervisionBCBS members are tasked with strengthening the regulation, supervision and policies of banks across the world The money laundering going on in Canada makes this a bad joke. The wise move would be for Tiff Macklem to add Gerald Butts (gmbutts) to this committee to monitor travel expenses. Butts tried to pilfer $thousands in padded moving expenses, so he is very experienced in financial expensing. FYI, Groper Trudeau signed off on Butts expenses. This is a massive problem.
