For some men, everything changes when they have a daughter.

which captures in film a father’s distress and fear while lovingly holding his newborn daughter in his arms. The pain and remorse on the man’s face reveals that he knows what those challenges will be as he reflects on his own past behaviours with girls.

Coming so closely on the heels of the recent Montreal Massacre anniversary, the White Ribbon messaging takes on an even more urgent appeal, given this abuse continues its relentless course, and traversing all levels of society.Article content “On December 6, 1989, fourteen women engineering students were killed in the École Polytechnique shooting, in a horrific act of gender-based violence and hatred,” said Humberto Carolo, White Ribbon executive director in a recent email.

Carolo explains that “displays of unhealthy masculinities … are learned behaviours and not something men and boys are inherently born with. Our mission withis to highlight the experiences many people in our communities face and encourage male-identified individuals to become more conscious of and accountable for their actions.”

Gender-based violence – be it against girls, women, trans or non-binary people – can take the form of everything from name calling to pushing, hitting, stalking, sexual assault, rape, criminal harassment, manipulation – even death.

Sounds like feminist claptrap. And feminism has ruined families with more than half of kids living with a single mother. A child with no father is child abuse. The kid starts out in life with 1 or 2 strikes against.

the world had gone crazy

Love my daughter. She's my avatar!

Well wouldn’t it be gorgeous if the dad was just overwhelmed they had a child. In an age where we can all be whatever gender we want, why would his first child’s gender even matter?

Spoiler alert: Men have always felt this way That’s why they used to own guns back when they were allowed to

Awesome, not only do we need more girls we need more dads to show they are proud of them. They matter. Mine is frickin awesome!!

Former military official should know when to wave the white flagOTTAWA—In every good Hollywood boxing movie, there comes a scene when a pummelled boxer is instructed by his trainer to “stay down” in order to avoid a further beating. If the boxer still attempts to rise, the trainers will mercifully “throw in the towel” to signal the official to end the fight. I fear that in the case of retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve, he either has no trainer in his corner or he is too punch-drunk to accept their sound advice. The saga began on Nov. 9, when the Conference of Defence Associations (CDA) Institute hosted its 30th annual Vimy Gala dinner in Gatineau, Que. The CDA Institute promoted this event as “one of the most formal dining evenings which unites the defence and security community.” While the Vimy Gala did bring out a record number of well-heeled guests—including a Supreme Court justice, senior military brass, and top bureaucrats—the keynote speech proved to be far from unifying. In accepting this year’s Vimy Award, Maisonneuve criticized everything from the removal of historical statues to the Trudeau government’s climate-change policies. Maisonneuve bemoaned the lack of unbiased media reporting and took particular offence to the recent changes made to the Canadian Armed Forces’ dress regulations, which now allow members a freer expression of personal choices. While Maisonneuve’s comments were rewarded with a standing ovation, it was clearly evident that many in attendance were not pleased. Realizing that such remarks from the recipient of what is intended to be an apolitical award from an apolitical organization, CDA Institute executive director Youri Cormier was quick to issue a disclaimer. “Many attendees were offended by [Maisonneuve’s] speech. His remarks do not reflect those of the CDA Institute,” stated Cormier. Some of those offended guests immediately posted their displeasure on social media outlets that evening. The next day, on Nov. 10, the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans announced that Maison Is that what you would have done while in the military? Never surrender Scott
