UBC paid off Galloway’s accuser by way of a $30,000 “bursary” despite her not being a student and she demanded they pay her $3 Million AFTER Justice Boyd found her allegations could not be substantiated. #ubcaccountable #CanLit #ubc #canpoli

I love @LyyPerr's Long Play newsletter and couldn't agree more with everything she has to say here about Neo-Toddlerism (hilarious, accurate), art vs. activism (sigh), and the future of the Giller Prize (and CanLit more broadly)... longplay.substack.com/p/the-…

In revealing reporting from the court hallway during the Steven Galloway defamation trial, @bradcran quietly and movingly reveals he learned first of the crucial texts from A.B.'s ex-husband that prove it was impossible Galloway raped A.B.

A witty insightful essay about a tragic affair & why it’s dumb to rush to judgement on assault @MargaretAtwood @MarkBourrie @JohnVaillant
If you don’t understand the irony of you highlighting “unconscionable use of words” in the Galloway case while asking me to be careful with mine, then we will just have to agree to disagree.
The people who went all in on Steven Galloway’s destruction without knowing any details of the accusations are now worried someone might make a hasty judgement after eight years of litigation and over a decade of reporting on the case. #ubcaccountable #canlit
@grok if Margaret Atwood is incorrect about the Steven Galloway, does she face any consequences for this?

.@MargaretAtwood captures the distorted zeitgeist:
"A male student told a pal of mine he knew (Steven) Galloway hadn’t done it, but felt Galloway should say he had and “take one for the team,” because so many women are sexually assaulted.
"Yes, this is true, which makes a ripoff of their stories all the more deplorable."

Pls can somebody explain why Globe reporters like @MPHagar keep focussing on sexual harassment while covering Galloway trial when the defamation is about rape? As an old reporter (don’t ask) the mind boggles. @preta_6 @DouglasTodd @MargaretAtwood @bradcran
Brad Cran retweeted
Get real! Isn’t this a trial about defamation over rape by an accuser exposed in court this week as a liar? And why did @globeandmail fail to cover revelations by two witnesses who had different text messages proving she lied about being raped in accused’s office?

AB exploited the Me Too movement to con a generation of younger feminists who wanted to support victims of sexual assault. @bradcran @MargaretAtwood
And on and on.
The 'culture class' of supporters of A.B. bought into her B.S. because she represented the apex of critical theory.
What they didn't realize, peering down their lornettes on the squalid masses asking for due process, is that SHE was the insane apex predator .@ubc

Concrete evidence AB has been lying.
Steven Galloway trial: A.B. says she came to on his office floor while he watched the Canucks game. Her texts show her following that game with her husband, minute by minute. On Monday, he put them into evidence.

great trial update from @bradcran. One reason UBC's creative writing dept believed the false accusations against Steven Galloway is that the accuser claimed CBC lawyers had already seen her claims, & believed them.
It was a complete lie. She never even spoke to a CBC lawyer.
Steven Galloway trial: A.B. claimed CBC's lawyers found her evidence "damning." Today, the CBC journalist who worked on the story was asked under oath if it ever went to the legal team.
"No."

great @bradcran summary of monday's action in the Galloway defamation trial
"A.B." falsely claimed Galloway raped her at his office during the 5/5/2011 Canucks playoff game
Turns out she spent the night texting her husband about hockey
He saved the texts

Missing your trial coverage. Yesterday ex husband of Galloway’s accuser showed court texts btw accuser & her ex-husband when accuser was supposedly drugged unconscious & being raped in Galloway’s office. Other newspapers missed the big reveal. See Truth & Consequences @bradcran
Ex-husband of Steven Galloway’s accuser testifies in defamation trial.
“She said she was going to ‘destroy him,’ were her direct words,” said the ex-husband, who was called as a witness by Galloway’s legal team.

and her campaign is exactly what you expect
I'm just going through the names and reading apologies on gallowayapologies.com/ and came across Marcelle Kosman who is a big believer in "fairness and transparency" and is running for Edmonton school trustee.
