Movement to honour 17th-century intellectual prodigy in Padua's Prato della Valle.

on female monuments in Italy, conducted in December 2021 by Mi Riconosci, an association of heritage workers, found that only 200 or so statues of women stand in public spots throughout Italy."This may explain why most of these statues are beautiful and young ... [and] quite sexualized," said Francesca Tomei, an archeologist with Mi Riconosci.

He agrees with Mi Riconosci that Padua and Italy have a problem with lack of female representation in monuments and street names. And as a member of a municipal commission responsible for suggesting names for new public spaces and streets, Fumian says calling them after noteworthy women is the commission's first priority.

"This isn't back to the future, where you put banana peels in a time machine and return to the past to change it for reparation purposes," he said. "It's pretty dangerous to play a game with statues ... to destroy or build something. You have to explain monuments ... you have to explain why this is empty, not just to put a copy of a statue that we already have at the university.

Public outrage over the unvaccinated is driving a crisis in bioethics | CBC NewsThe pandemic has triggered a new debate over what used to be a settled principle of bioethics — that you don't treat patients differently based on past behaviour that may have contributed to their condition. Many of the unvaccinated are mentally ill. There is an article in today's LaPresse about the distress of a father whose adult son is in such a situation. How about we triage by means of who is paying into the system and who is not? This is utter divisive bullshit brought to by, no surprise. Your state funded broadcaster. Every fucking day CBC reports something demonizing the unvaccinated.

Public Health Agency of Canada involved in 'error' on trucker vaccine rules: CP sources | CBC NewsTurmoil and confusion over whether truckers would remain exempt from the vaccine mandate last week stemmed from bureaucrats misinterpreting policy in more than one federal agency — including the one that co-ordinates Canada's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. What the phac? This is not the right thing to be done A small minority looking for a loophole. The unvaxxed truckers will be stuck in Canada for their protest since the US is implementing the same rule as of January 22. Even protesting at border crossings would be just as illogical for the 'restoration of rights and freedoms'.
