I do not think it is a stretch to say that the Canadian sport system is predicated on the imperative to produce performance at all costs. That means instrumentalizing and dehumanizing athletes as a rule, not an exception. That’s the scope of this problem.

Just the head of Gymnastics Canada attacking a survivor, Kim Shore, for pushing for real change.

BREAKING: SMUFU is calling on the Auditor General of Nova Scotia to investigate the financial operations of SMU. We believe that the Senior Administration is mismanaging our university and putting the future of our institution in jeopardy.

lmao to this day I still find it hilarious that galen weston puts himself in his commercials as if he is a likeable character

what a narcissist

oh look at all the carefully crafted pr statements from police and politicians that do absolutely nothing but obfuscate the reality that policing has always been rotten

neat
