Canadian sport needs whistleblower protections at all levels. Folks are scared of retaliation. They're afraid they'll lose something they love, simply for trying to make it safe for participants. @CQualtro, what is the plan?
We’re hiring! The University of Manitoba Community Law Centre (a longstanding partnership between @robsonhall + @LAManitoba) is excited to be expanding its services into prison law w/ funding from @MBLawFoundation. Articling Student and Staff Lawyer (1yr term) positions available
Sending love and strength to @ailishforfar. This is true bravery. Our Canadian sport system is rife with abusers and predators. These horrors are all too common. @CQualtro we must ensure the next generation is protected. Are you confident the Commission can deliver that?

While today’s announcement from 🇨🇦 Minister of Sport to establish a ‘Future of Sport in Canada Commission’ isn’t the national inquiry athletes have been calling for, it shows that the gov. has recognized that the sport system is broken & needs repair. bit.ly/csma23
It is because of every single survivor and ally who has pushed the government to listen and take action, that this review is even happening. We are far from being done. We will continue to push until there is accountability, real change, and every Canadian child is safe in sport

This is precisely why I work with the question of consent around various sporting practices. Hazing, abuse, violence, relationships with coaches, etc. Choosing to stay for the love of sport is not consent to abuse. It’s not consensual when the only choice is to quit.

I stand with the students of Western University. I stand with the survivors on the women's hockey team. I stand with all the alumni who are baffled by the university. I stand with all the faculty who are speaking up against their own employer. Solidarity.
Former @WesternU hockey player Claire Balas shares her experience playing under Coach Moxley. Solidarity with Ms. Balas and all other players, past and present, who are looking for answers from the university’s administration. “My heart breaks”

1/4 🧵Over 50 scholars, consisting of faculty at Western University and folks trained at Western but working elsewhere, are calling on the school's administration to engage in a more robust investigation of Mustang Sports.
And the Indigenous Hockey Research Network keeps the important conversations about hockey going! Panelists: Christine O’Bonsawin, Rick Monture, Cheryl MacDonald, Martine Dennie, Jamie Ryan, with Sam McKegney as Chair talking about the troubling politics of “diversity” in hockey.

26K Followers 181 Following Co-Founder of CAL Sports Management, Director of recruitment and development, Retired NHL Player Colorado Avalanche and Columbus Blue JacketsThe harm done to victim-survivors by announcing a Commission and then doing *nothing* with it for months is immeasurable. It’s even more galling when @CQualtro refused to bring a proper Inquiry as asked for by advocates, under the guise of being “trauma-informed”. Infuriating.
A Commission into abuse in sport was announced 4 months ago. Abuse cases continue to be exposed in the media, and still, there is no mandate, details and a start date. Will the Commission have the necessary teeth to compel those who were in charge to testify?
This was such a great conversation with @AbbySpadafora and @futurefspodcast. Proud of those who stood up for victim-survivors at the latest figure skating World Championships. Allyship can be simple but powerful.
Grateful to everyone at #WorldFigure - from fans in the stand, to journalists in the ISU press conference - who spoke up about abuse in our sport. Listen to Episode 30 with @Gym4ChangeCan for the full conversation youtu.be/fo2wvMHKvsM
Dear @nenshi, Please do not squander this gift. Rakhi is the real deal. In it for the benefit of those she represents. Damn, it’s been so long since I’ve seen selflessness in politics. 🥲
Running for Alberta NDP leader has been the honour of my career. I’m so proud of the bold, hopeful and optimistic story we told about Alberta. But today, I’m ending my campaign to support Naheed Nenshi in our shared goal of growing this party in every corner of our province.
Thank you for this conversation, @futurefspodcast! @AbbySpadafora and I were honoured to share our perspectives. With the skating world rocked by so many recent abuse revelations, this felt like a very timely discussion. Please have a listen!
What will it take to stop sexual, physical and emotional abuse in skating? I talked to @AbbySpadafora and @ameliagrace1989 of @Gym4ChangeCan about their work to support survivors and advocate for a national inquiry in Canada. youtu.be/fo2wvMHKvsM
The tragic death of Chris Simon illustrates the NHL's callous disregard for athletes. Admit that CTE is a real and ongoing problem and pursue changes that actually protect athletes. A life expectancy of 57 and 47 years for fighters is unacceptable. cbc.ca/sports/hockey/…
Saying the quiet part out loud. Of course NSOs want more control over complaints. That’s how they’ve operated for 40+ years to cover up abuse and shield themselves from liability. At least they’re finally admitting it. 🙄
USA Hockey executive director Pat Kelleher testified during a U.S. Senate committee hearing this afternoon that his organization wants the U.S. Center for SafeSport to accept jurisdiction over only "the most egregious" misconduct complaints. Kelleher said USA Hockey would like…
@MartineDennie @stfxuniversity Thanks so much, Martine!
I'm thrilled to announce that, as of July 1, I will be an assistant professor in Human Kinetics at @stfxuniversity. It's been a long journey since I got my PhD in 2015, and I would not be here without a huge amount of support. A huge thanks to everyone who helped me get here.
how very *Hockey Canada* of them
Hockey Canada says its insurers should cover costs related to a hazing, bullying and abuse lawsuit filed by former Canadian Hockey League players. When Lloyd’s of London advised Hockey Canada it would not pay for claims of any former players whose abuse allegedly occurred before…
Canadian sport needs whistleblower protections at all levels. Folks are scared of retaliation. They're afraid they'll lose something they love, simply for trying to make it safe for participants. @CQualtro, what is the plan?
When our system fails so hard that notorious child abusers are able to enjoy a casual Sunday watching kids at the hockey rink. I feel sick. @CQualtro @vankayak all the carefully curated photo ops and saccharine statements don’t fix this. We need real solutions.
Sitting in a hockey arena watching my nephew play, but instead of enjoying the game, I am shaking, and my heart is racing because both my male and female abusers are sitting in the same arena. @vankayak, this is why survivors can't walk away. Trauma has everlasting effects
As far as anyone can tell, Sport Complaints does not exist as a legal entity. So, how are the investigators and case managers paid? Where are the case files stored? Who has access to that information? Perhaps the most concerning question: Who is accountable if things go wrong?
Questions mount about firm investigating Hockey Canada abuse claims theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar…

the continued culture of cruelty and abuse despite it being widely known (now), and organizations simply adapting their messaging and PR rather creating safer sport/systemic change.
What in the world of gymnastics needs to be talked about more?
Rampant Abuse. Lack of accountability.

Gary Bettman claiming this is not indicative of hockey or the NHL just feels hollow. The league is still fighting to not pay victims in the Chicago Blackhawks case, and the sexual crimes in elite hockey have been well documented thehockeynews.com/news/nhl-commi…
This is offensive and just plain false. These types of hollow, throwaway lines are dismissive and undermine victims who have suffered real harm. It’s simple fact at this point that hockey has a systemically toxic culture that actively harms women, POC, and LGBTQ+.
Gary Bettman says, "This is not typical of NHL players" or hockey in general. Says the game is "inclusive, welcoming and safe."
we don't talk enough about the harm that comes when people choose to cover up abuse. the burden of being silenced destroys people. this woman bravely reported to police + hockey canada. for 5 years, she was gaslit, minimized + re-harmed. this behavior needs to be criminalized.
let’s not forget to hold accountable the individuals at Hockey Canada who KNEW about this assault and covered it up. who did everything in their power to make it go away even if it meant silencing a survivor forever.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario has scheduled a hearing on June 11 to hear arguments from lawyers for former Canadian Hockey League players who are suing three major-junior leagues and their teams over allegations of systemic hazing, bullying, and abuse. A judge ruled in February…
