In the last 6 years, I’ve documented over 100 human rights abuses, including rape of children, by Russian paramilitaries in West & Central Africa. The stories survivors have told me are devastating. These crimes should never have been allowed to happen.

The state of public housing in this province is crumbling, say advocates. Tenants say more security is needed to keep people safe, and that Manitoba Housing takes months, sometimes years to fix anything. Story by @kristinannable cbc.ca/newsinteractives/feat…

Why is @angusreidorg out here asking people if they would support 8- or 12-year-olds starting hormone therapy when, in their own methodology, they note doctors generally don't prescribe hormones to any trans kids under 14?
ALT Main text: The younger the child, the greater the discomfort As noted previously, age is a key factor in this decision for many Canadians. A majority oppose this at each of the three ages offered, but are more inclined to accept it once the child reaches 16, though still 53 per cent remain in opposition:
